    Interesting project. I've not heard of the "claws" before so a plus is learning something new. I"m in for sure.

    Your Bismarck is a very impressive model.

    Good to see you back, Jerry. Happy Retirement! It does sound like you have been busy but hopefully having some fun along thew way.

    Sweet with a lot of detail. Looking fantastic.

    I fear that is the first step into the maelstrom.

    Wonderful work, OC. One can almost smell the gunpowder smoke and hear the men yelling.

    Looks like this will be a neat project. I'm in. Now go get some popcorn.

    Dave, do try deleting all cookies from Cornwall in your browser. as Johnny suggests. And also clear out any cached pages for Cornwall.

    Welcome to MSW, Tom. The best way to get help is open a build log in the kit area. We have had and still have many builders of the Constitution here. Do a search using "Constitution" as the key word (title search) and you'll get tons of logs.

    It may have also been done to keep the keel from hogging.

    I suspect that you are correct, Wefalck. Seems many if not most archaeological/historical types have an agenda.

    That will be a very impressive model. I'm in to follow along.

    I wonder if those photos in the ANCRE monographs are "test" builds to verify things? In some monographs, the builds were never shown finished.

    They do make a "thin" CA glue and an "ultra-thin". I haven't used them so I don't know how "thin" they are.

    Welcome to MSW, Piotr. A bit of advice... start "small" (no masts)and simple) and then work upwards. A good way to start is something like this: https://modelexpo-online.com/Model-Shipways-Shipwright-3-Kit-Combo-Series-with-Tools-and-Paint_p_5290.html.

    I'm in also. This should be fascinating;

    Go to the upper right side to where your ScreenName is and click the little down arrow. Then click on Account Settings from the dropdown. On that screen go to the right side and you'll see "Edit Profile". Scroll down and you'll see "Location". You can change it there. After changing it, scroll to the bottom of that page and click "Save".

    Right as the airport didn't collect "road taxes" etc. I had to buy it at local speed shop and it was cheaper by the barrel as "racing -off road use only" gas. But those days are long past. It was easy back then to go through 5 gallons or more on race night (drag racing) what with burn outs, time trials, etc..

    Good question. Last time I checked it was "special order only" but I suspect those days too are long gone.

    Nice work. Looks the part of a gasser from the era.

    Interesting article on the ship of Theseus. https://www.livescience.com/human-behavior/what-is-the-ship-of-theseus-thought-experiment

    Thanks for the comments and likes. Dave, I didn't use gold paint but followed what they did historically or at least reportedly... yellow ocre as it was "cheap". Slowly making more progress but nothing photo worthy. I've hit a small self-inflicted issue with the various stanchions and hammock cranes as the paint (brushed not airbrushed) on the wood filled the holes for mounting <facepalm>. I have the plans out and taking careful measurements and poking around with a pin. Hopefully I can get these nstalled in the right places.

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.
