    I am in awe of this build, Kevin. You're details and improvisation of parts is wonderful to watch.

    Inspirational work, Toni.

    This is terrible news. I pretty much agree with Jan. Maybe.. put the wood pieces in a 250 (F) oven for a hour but that's pretty radical and unpredictable. The what happens when it dries is a real wildcard.

    Super looking crane. It looks like it would actually work.

    Lovely transom work, Mario. Looks great from here.

    I'm going to ignore the 2mm blocks on the guns. I've ordered 3mm and 4mm blocks from Chuck. I hope the 3's work but I'll with the 4's if I have to. What ever's left over will used for rigging (along with another order to Syren. Very slow going at present so no pictures or updates until the cannon are in place and rigged.

    Could you make your own blast bags? Maybe a clay? The Bismarck is really coming together well and you're doing a great job.

    Hi Mario, Looks like a good plan coming together. I do have question on the transom pieces. Is there a reason for not preshaping the exterior of them? Looks to my like you'll have a lot of sanding and shaping to do on them. Maybe I'm wrong and missing something here.

    Beautiful and inspirational work, Nils.

    I hope the only thing you hurt in your fall was your dignity. Atalanta doesn't look any worse for the battle damage. If you hadn't told us, we never would have known.

    Quincy, Welcome to MSW. I'll go along with what Chris said about a build log and the tutorials.

    Not sure if this can help but do you have any other plans for the rigging? These all appear to be the same sheet. I'm winging it but B0 appears to be the bowsprit. The rest appear to be as you sorted out based on size. Edit: Appears I was staring at the prints when Jim posted. Aeropiccola is Italian so that might help. If the text is in Italian, then Google Translate is your friend... but with the usual caveats that it's not a perfect translation.

    Beautiful planking, Siggi. The figurehead looks perfect.

    I've been using thin (very thin) CA to stiffen the block before drilling. Seems to work for me.
  16. mtaylor
    MS is pretty good about things like this. I'll keep my fingers crossed you can get the plans.

    What company produced the kit? Go ahead and sent them an email or call. Some companies are very good about sending out replacement parts and plans.

    Great idea and follow up. The rounded one would work inside the hull.... which is a very fiddly thing to sand.

    Maybe drinking from a garden hose explains a lot about our ages and our chosen hobby?

    Have a look here: http://www.admiraltymodels.com/ You can see some of them under "Models".

    Ah... that would explain things.

    I'm pulling up a chair, Marcus. I'm not familiar with these so this is something different and should be an interesting build.
  23. mtaylor
    Jim, No preference from me. I'm liking and loving all your pictures. Superb work.
  24. mtaylor
    Mike, I'll dig out my copy of ANCRE's monograph and see if there's an insight like a planking diagram. I don't know if this will help... I'll look for a side view of the planking if you think it will help.

    It might be playing to you, but it looks like artwork from here. Nicely done with interesting imagery.

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.
