    Hello Marc, Welcome to MSW. I would suggest that by all means, open a build log in the kit area. You'll get help and encouragement for your project.

    POF = Plank on Frame (like the actual ships were built. POB = Plank on Bulkhead which is the way almost all kits are.

    In close, the main sails would have been not furled as that took some time but brailed up to get them out of way. The other sails would be used for maneuvering during the battle.

    Paul, Most of the Lumberyard (but not all) are a pile of wood to cut into blanks, assemble, then cut the frames. As for pre-cut framing... other than the Oneida mentioned and one that Chuck is exploring to make, I'm not sure there any. Many of the center section kits are however.
  5. mtaylor
    I should also add that there's several cross-section type models (not the whole ship, just the center sectin) out there.

    Hi Paul, When you say "already prepared" what are you meaning? Cut out? Fully set up and the frame just needs installing like the bulkheads on a POB?

    It's great to see that you're still building her,Giorgio. I hope it's just life that gets in the way and nothing's wrong.

    Thanks Phil. That helped immensely. You're doing a great job on this build and on the log. Very informative.

    According to this... https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/164103/if-li-ion-battery-is-deeply-discharged-is-it-harmful-for-it-to-remain-in-this-s deep discharge isn't a good thing.

    Hmm... I checked the CD... The aft deck is a poop/quarterdeck raised up from the fore/main deck. There's no decks below these. The Halifax is the same way. So you're spot on, sir. Which basically means they're refurbished cargo vessels with a large open hold....

    Kurt, Do you know what kind of battery it has? That will make a difference as to whether drain it completely or being able just partial discharge and recharge.

    Phil, As a suggestion, can you post larger pictures? These old eyes (and I'm sure others have them) a have tough time seeing the detail in them. Thanks,

    Hi Greg. Welcome to MSW.

    They're on tinypic.com, Carl. I've not had a problem seeing them so... <shrugs> Try pinging it and see if the site responds as there might be some "restriction" somewhere.

    Hmm.... I'm a bit behind here... pictures of the nuptials for those of us unable to attend? I'm raising a toast....

    Nice setup for moving the ships. Have fun Dave.

    The old saying true then... "There will be blood.". I've cut myself more than once with the kitchen knives.. and hobby knives.. and just about anything sharp. Follow Princess's advice.

    Welcome to MSW, Mark. Just take your time, ask questions. Oh.. open a build log as it's the best way to get help and you'll be having folks looking over your shoulder.

    Superb details, Johann.

    I'm just speechless which is unusual for me. I think WOW... is not enough.
  21. mtaylor
    So the hull narrows in the middle and that narrowing is coverage by a facade? Did I interpret that correctly? <low whistle> Holy cow.
  22. mtaylor
    Hi Mario, Good to see you back and that the surgery part is over. Is the Hannah a single decker or is there a deck below? I'm thinking the orlop deck....
  23. mtaylor
    Beautiful and the size just amazes me with all the detail being clear and clean.
  24. mtaylor
    A wonderful piece and a fitting tribute to Muz.

    It makes me happy to see you back and making some progress, Alex.

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.
