Feel free to let me know, Jay. We're not traveling much these days due to the Admiral's health but we're both hoping that will change.

I'm beyond sad at this news, Nenad. I've been searching for words and there are none. Give Hothead and Princess large hugs and the three of you remember the good times.- 4,145 replies

Rivets, Augie? I'm waiting to see if Popeye will put glass in the portholes and maybe make some open... I wouldn't expect working portholes... or should I? Wonderful work, Popeye. That many portholes is like treenails... real dedication.

This latest project has, for me at least, a learning curve that is straight, vertical line. Much like scratch building. :D Thanks for bearing with me.

Thanks for the likes, the conversation, and the comments. I'm slowly progressing on the planking even though several things have got in the way... It may get worse now that the new "toy" is here. But I will do my testing using Licorne related items so some good will come out of it.

Jay, You can dim the lights with a resistor or if you want a variable brightness, use a potentiometer. George, My Constellation has LED lighting.

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.
