    That's not a bad thing, IMO, Marc. I'd rather see "over documented" than bare bones, here's what I did with one picture as it really does help others in unexpected ways.

    John, Here would probably be the best place to continue..https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/forum/5-nauticalnaval-history/

    I, for one, don't object to this as it gives context to the ship and her history.

    I have no words except that photo is a work of art.

    That's excellent news to hear that all have arrived safe and sound, Ken. Enjoy your stay and the invisible air compared to what's out here currently.

    What Druxey says. I've made two, one large for house projects and one for ships. Not that hard to do, just a bit finicky getting things squared up.

    The outhauls look good, Jacek. The left gun needs the coils though. Now I'm not sure about the breeching ropes though as they need to be wrapped once around the breech knob and secured to the bulkhead as you have done. Here's a pic..

    Check that the fence isn't warped and also the deck on the saw itself. Also, when setting the fence, press down slightly while tightening it into place. It sounds like you have an air gap between the fence and the deck.

    Works for me then Shipman. The ironing boards I'm familiar with are too light and wobbly so you have good one then.
  11. mtaylor
    Nice work, Sjors.

    Using an ironing board makes me nervous. The one we have like that wobbles at the slightest touch. Good idea though. Maybe try nailing ours to the floor but I suspect the admiral would be most displeased.

    i think most of will have our fingers crossed for a good finish. It's great that the dealer was able to jump on this quickly and yeah... i've been there on road with issues so.. <keeping fingers crossed> The first choppers I worked on -34's for about a year before they were replaced by -53's. I loved the sound of those engines firing off

    That was a tough decision, Al. But the right one, IMO. I think you'll be much happier now. BTW, will you be using that cast stern or scratching it?

    No words, Piet. This has been a very special project and at times, very hard to read but well worth every post and reveled memory. To say: War is hell" is an understatement. Many times moreso for the families than for those doing the fighting. I salute you and your father. This is a fitting tribute not just to him but to all those who have gone in harm's way.

    I've done quite a few of the YouTube's. Also have some old vinyl LP's.. Very soothing to me for some reason. Oh.. before I forget.. Bilge Rat is job not name. Sort of like "Jack" from the 1st Muppet Movie.

    Any videos of the pipes available, Mark?

    Bob, For the shaping of lines, many of us a 50/50 mix of white glue (not the yellow) and water. Brush it on, let it soak in. Invisible and it holds. Need to separate, a wee bit of water and patience and the knots come apart. Like you, CA is only for tacking parts. Epoxy for metal to wood or metal to metal if soldering isn't possible.

    Every piece he does is a work of art. I hope to have even 1/2 of his skill by the time I grow up.
  21. mtaylor
    Beautifully done and the display is perfect. I love it!!!!!

    As an old tech writer, I'd add 5B. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AGAIN AND FOLLOW THEM THIS TIME!" You'd be surprised at how many people read tech manuals over,toss it aside, and then wonder why they blew up the equipment.
  23. mtaylor
    Interesting question on color for that area. One of the red rust prevention paints maybe?
  24. mtaylor
    Thanks for letting us tag along, Michael. Looking over your shoulders to see what was done has been an experience that most of us will never have first hand knowledge of.
  25. mtaylor
    Lovely work, Steve. Since you didn't mention any of these, we'll assume there were no shunts, hard landings, etc. Any other aircraft in your future?

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
