    I've had to come back this 3 or 4 times before commenting. I'm just flat astounded.

    That's an incredible amount of detail for something so tiny, Piet. Looks super.
  3. mtaylor
    That's beyond impressive for one day's work... When I first saw the pics before reading I was wondering if you'd changed your mind and were building an aircraft carrier. Sounds like you have a good plan for this.

    Don, In addition the link to Hobbymill on blades... here's a recent topic here relating to the Proxxon saw and blades. Hope it helps also. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13565-blade-for-table-saw-proxxon-fet-for-planks/?hl=%2Bproxxon+%2Bsaw

    Wow... I didn't realize it was a complex of buildings. Is that going to fit into the car as it certainly won't fit on his motorcycle.
  6. mtaylor
    Thanks for the explanation, Anthony. I've seen some models where the plates looked like iron your explanation helped. I hope you get a good day or two for drilling.

    Frankie... hit "report" and request the move that way. It will bring it to their attention.
  8. mtaylor
    Give Anja a big hug and just about anything else her heart desires for doing those nettings, Sjors. They look great.
  9. mtaylor
    I daresay a flying start.... if we overlook the research time. Did you go for the bandsaw or the scroll?

    I do like the way this is shaping up, Denis. The portholes in the bow area, and the prop/rudder. Her lines look good to my eye. I'm enjoying watching where you take her.

    Reminds me of a space port... Complex with interesting shapes. I hope he gets a good grade and Dad feels proud when it's done.

    Druxey, I don't know why you'd incur moderator wrath. It's a beautiful boat and the techniques that I'm sure you'll give will help any and all of us.
  13. mtaylor
    Just incredible, Anthony. I can see why you'd want to go with removable spikes. Will you be blackening the plates or leaving them copper?
  14. mtaylor
    Lovely work, Paul. Looking very clean and precise.
  15. mtaylor
    I don't know how you're getting the hours in, but looking at what you've accomplished, you obviously are. And very well organized, too.
  16. mtaylor
    Nice work, Keith. She is looking sleeker with every update.
  17. mtaylor
    They may be right about about the crew on the gundeck doing this as imagine the weather decks would be a bit hectic and crowded when maneuvering. Many ships have the braces coming into the gundeck via fairleads/sheaves in the hull. The questioning point is the pin in the skid beam. Unless it was felt that this would be one of the last sails to be re-braced and not much strain... ???

    I've used the Min-Wax brand of stains from the local DIY/Hardware type store. As Ken said, don't get the gloss.. go for the matte or worst case.. satin and then flatten it.
  19. mtaylor
    Walt, Go for the mockup. I can't help with drawings... but if there's any question in your mind, do a mockup. I'm learning that lesson the hard way.
  20. mtaylor
    Floaties? I thought around here we had to use an old inner tube. Ah well.. modern times.
  21. mtaylor
    Ah.. our Majellan fix has returned. I was hoping she'd be back and she is... looking even better.
  22. mtaylor
    An interesting project, Nenad. I'm looking forward to more pictures... maybe here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/4435-the-what-have-you-done-today-thread/rather than hide them in your log. Children will always be children to their parents.

    That is one barge full of great craftsmanship and artistry, Siggi. I'm not sure the Captain will see it as I think the Admirals would fight for it.
  24. mtaylor
    That is a wonderful lion. Appropriately fierce looking. If this is the prototype, the real deal will be a masterpiece.
  25. mtaylor
    I'm glad there was no more damage than some minor damage to Cheerful and two bulbs. I can only imagine what went through your mind as the bulbs feel to the bench.... As for the words.... family site.

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.
