    I think what Eric said pretty much sums it up..... Keep doing what your doing. It looks great.

    Hi Anja, Good to see you back... I'm following also now that Sjors has the popcorn machine.

    Nicely done, Jack. You're becoming a soldering and metalwork master as well as a knot tier and rigger.

    Nice work, Sjors. I like the sneaky... I've done it myself.

    I'm not sure I should have liked that post... but it's an acknowledgement to your injury. Hopefully you'll heal faster than that doc said.

    Don't feel bad, Kevin. I think we all forget things in the process. There's just too much to remember.

    Beautiful frames, Karl. She'll be a beauty.

    As I recall, Pasi used the Lumberyard timbering set. But.. have a look at the front page for sponsors or go here (pinned topics at the top) for wood suppliers: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/forum/20-wood-discussion/

    Gemma, To get you started.. have a look at the database of articles here: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-modeling-articles-and-downloads.php The Plans and Research area has articles on lines drawings (and how to read them) and some CAD tutorials.

    If it's a Mamoli kit, hang tight. Daniel Dusek bought Mamoli out after their fire and will be (or is in the process) of reissuing many of their kits. I believe from what I've heard, he's laser cutting the wood, etc.

    Lovely work, Juzek.

    Pete, What I see in paintings is white, yellow, or wood colored (varnish?) masts with usually black yards or wood colored yards. If this is artistic license, it was pretty widespread among the contemporary painters. I'm guessing that there was some latitude as to what was available to the ship's carpenter and possibly preference from the naval yards and even the ship captain. Disclaimer: Just my observations over time and some guesses when the color isn't obvious...

    Thank you for the visits, the "likes" and the comments. Not an update, just some feedback on comments and questions.. Uh... rats. I really need a proofreader I guess before hitting "post". Good question on the Hahn style. I have no answer at this moment. Both have their disadvantages and advantages. Getting to the interior is a problem for me with the Hahn method. Now that the forest is gone, I see some things that need to be fixed on the interior. Miniature chain saw? I wish. I used a combination of jewelers saw and X-Acto saws. I'm happy also. The aircraft carrier look got to me.

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.
