    Wonderful knightheads, Piet.

    Looking good, Mike. I'm just catching up a bit. Personally I hate the double planking and false gunports.. If they go to that much trouble, why not just make the gundecks fully open with "real" guns? Then again, after doing that on my Constellation, I realize that I am nuts....

    This is a fascinating trip... both the build and the archeological record.

    And you're off and making sawdust.. Happy dance for that.

    No. No. No... not after they break. Bad words and blue air are a given. What were you doing when they broke?

    Brilliant idea on the bamboo. The only use I've seen until now is for treenails but this is opening some possibilities.... many possibilities.

    Beautiful work, Michael.

    I can only repeat what the others have said. Have a good week and hopefully we can be patient here in the gallery.

    Working hinges... and such lovely details on the great cabin. Inspirational work.

    Congratulations Håkan on the grandchild. I like your steamer. and like Carl says, there might be other uses.. I'm thinking keeping warm in winter and keeping lunch hot.

    A scary thing to do but well done, Keith.

    I'm liking these smaller builds. Your's is really looking sharp.

    What are you doing when they break? I've used cherry for framing and also boxwood and both will break if mis-handled.. delicate things they be.
  14. mtaylor
    Nice work on finding those frames inside the wood, Mike.

    Here's some of what I could find on it via Google... http://www.woodmagazine.com/materials-guide/lumber/wood-species-1/avocado/ http://www.avocadosource.com/CAS_Yearbooks/CAS_28_1943/CAS_1943_PG_25.pdf It is apparently hard to get although some do make furniture from it.

    Beautiful work, Pete. Stunningly so. She reminds of a certain Ferrari that appears to be doing 100 mph just sitting at the curb.

    Looks pretty perfect to me, Nenad. I'm in awe that you're doing this without power tools. It's amazing work and it looks like the spice is flowing again.

    I think I'll go with popcorn and have the torte later on if that's ok.

    I've read accounts where at times the lines were very long. Those at the back of the line, if they couldn't wait any longer would go out in the channels, drop the pants to half-mast and let fly.. so to speak. Pissdales would also have lines at times. Other times, no lines, no waiting. There's an excellent thesis here on the topic: http://nautarch.tamu.edu/Theses/pdf-files/Simmons-MA1985.pdf

    Ah.. I see, Micheal.

    Now why would the horses in the first picture be saddled? It's not like anyone's going ride one across the lake... I think...
  22. mtaylor
    You're worming and serving???? I think this is first time I've seen the lines being wormed. At least it's only two sets of those lids, Palladio. And the lids do look great. Admirals do have a way with us, don't they?
  23. mtaylor
    That's a good question Joe, You might have a go and ask here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/12827-model-expo-has-got-wind-in-its-sails/#entry390098 I'm thinking it is the same....

    Michael, I concur with with everyone else. Add my vote to the "what does he mean 'not good'?" crowd.
  25. mtaylor
    I never considered doing that to the Accuriser fence. That is a great idea.

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.
