    Methinks you have captured the essence of this ship with the sails, Matt. Dark and moody.

    One can also use a flat varnish instead of CA on rigging. It dries pretty quick and looks good.

    Mark, The temperature may very well be a factor. Can you put in the house or somewhere warmer?

    A new shop buddy!!!!! Good for you. Like Patrick and Denis said, they are great dogs.

    Fascinating research, Paul. The build is looking great. Your capstans look perfect even though you mention "not quite round"... The look round from here.

    Ray, Take some time and go here: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-modeling-articles-and-downloads.php The Plans and Research area has a couple of good articles on what to expect in a kit and also choosing a kit. The Materials and Tools area has some good articles on tools when you're starting including one article on tools not to bother with. I hope this helps.

    Great work, Nils.

    Beautiful ship and a beautiful display. Well done, Igor.

    Just fascinating, Anthony. Much different than what we're used to seeing and it also put a totally different perspective on things.

    Looking great on the swivels and the yardarms, Pat. I like the template idea.

    Lovely coppering, Robbyn. I like the way you didn't copper the false keel. That's nice touch.

    Here's a link that might help as the blade is dependent on wood thickness. Also if you do a search on Hobbymill and Byrnes (both terms) there a fair number of links with tips. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/1408-jeff-hayes-hobbymill-tips-on-milling-wood-link/?hl=%2Bhobbymill+%2Bbyrnes

    It does appear to be an interesting vessel that tried to be everything... submarine, cruiser, and aircraft carrier. I did a bit of Googling and since I don't speak or read French, I used Google.. I'm wondering if there's plans in a French museum or even at the shipyard (Cherbourg) where she was built?

    I think this was in the cross-over from the round ports and decorations to the square ports and no decorations on the ports. Looking super, Ian.

    You have been busy. Good luck and good fortune on the move.

    Cool. Chrome is/was probably the easiest thing to install. Looking good.

    I'm just a amazed at what you've done on Her Majesty, Nenad. I'm looking forward to seeing this piece in place.

    And let's add wood... etc. to that.

    Alex, Did you see this?

    Lovely work, Jack. She's looking great. i think you have mastered clinker planking.

    800 is probably more than enough, Daniel. I would imagine that the davit would be set up while the messenger, etc. were being set up. We have to remember that the gun crews, for example, didn't work anything but the guns or do maintenance (like holystoning) so they would have been the labor for the capstan, stowing, etc. I'm guessing that some things overlapped such as fishing and securing the anchor but every man had his duty.

    Well done on the stays, Sjors.
  23. mtaylor
    Man, we got to get you moved over to Chrome here on MSW. Try what Richard suggested. I had to move over to Chrome (or Firefox) as IE11 was giving me fits not just here but other places also.
  24. mtaylor
    Beautiful metal work, Johann.

    I see you did battle with the Evil Green Knighst. And won!!!! Hard work, indeed, Nenad. Rest, refresh... feel good in the victory.

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.
