    The first pic caused me to do a double-take, Kevin. Thought I was seeing the real thing you were comparing it to. Nice work, indeed.

    Lami, It's great to see this build come back. I'm looking forward to following it again.

    Wonderful carving. He looks great!! I agree with Steve, you shouldn't have a whole lot of problems with the ornamentation.

    Giorgio, Your English is fine and atrial fibrillation is also English.. I'm happy to hear that everything seems to be ok. Your work on the deck furniture is inspiring.

    Rebecca, I'm not sure if those are actually the capstan bars. Some models they are, in others, they're permanently attached to the deck to give the crew using the capstan some foot hold. IMO, it's just artistic license for them to be there.

    I'm just too stunned...? amazed..? to say more than "WOW!"

    Floyd, Make a topic and post it here in this forum. We'll get it pinned so it will stay put.

    Matti, Looks like you are off to a great start. I see that you're already scratching things like gratings. As I recall, the Billings Wasa had plastic ones.

    Looks good Qwerty. I'll be interested in seeing this one rigged.

    Nice work on the hinges, Randy.

    Do you want some?

    She's coming together nicely, Robbyn. Looks very clean and sharp with some great contrast on the woods.

    NIce work on the hull, guns, port lids, Sjors. Rigging can be fun just do what you've been doing... taking your time. As for the moderator police... pfffffft.

    Beautiful work, Klaus. Your carvings are wonderful.

    The only maple I've dealt with for ship modeling is silver maple for planks. Slightly off-white with a very fine and straight grain.

    Larry, Looks sharp. Very nicely done. Hmm... going to add to the stern and bow of the cross-section?

    Simply put, kits from ZHL are banned from MSW. Read here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/181-banned-kit-manufacturers-on-msw/

    Tex... look here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/540-how-to-add-pictures-in-your-posts-and-pms/ that should help with the tech stuff.

    John, I knew it was small.... but not that small. The size makes the work you've put into her even more impressive. Hmm.... I'm repeating what everyone else is saying. But I'll let it stand. This is one fantastic build.
  21. mtaylor
    Dang it.. Sjors beat me to the seat next to the popcorn machine... Anyway, looking forward to seeing your build of the CW.

    Kevin, Don't sweat the time log or the reference for the sails. That's a pretty good article on setting the sails.
  23. mtaylor
    Around here... any and all awards are 'prestigous". Kind of like "deluxe" on a box of macaroni and cheese. :P Congrats Captain Augie!!! Here's a 3 gun salute (not firing cotton balls)!
  24. mtaylor
    Party on, Mobbsie.... Aggie and the rest of us will be here waiting.

    Tex, You got that tryworks article from MSW. It's in the furniture section. He did his build logs on DDM and also here. I haven't seen him back here yet but then again, I might have missed him He did a fantastic job on his build.

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.
