Caroline We'll blame Laerte for pushing you to the darkside. The cabin accoutrements are great! I wonder where "the old engineer" is? Haven't seen him here yet.

Tim, That is one smooth and clean hull and it's coming together nicely. I think Alfons made a good point about priming it.

Good fix... well done... I think you're pulling a fast one and didn't break anything at all. At least we can't see and there's no evidence. Let's not forget Wimpy, I think his name was for his famous quote: "For a hamburger today, I will gladly pay you Tuesday." Yeah, even moderators know how to digress.... :P :P

Joss, Your build is one of the "gold standards" in my opinion. There's some deep sadness that yours was one of the one's lost.

Olphart, Good catch on the jig. I use a method similar to the others. I tape the assembly drawing down to a 1/4" piece of glass, Build the frame and then lay another piece of 1/4" glass on top. The glass lets me view that everything is lining up and also provides pressure to ensure a good glue joint.

Hi Frank, I'm just now getting caught up... the furled sail just looks perfect. I can't wait to see more.

Adrieke, I'm finally catching your lovely build. Sorry to hear about your father, but happy to hear he's doing better. I do hope you and your wife get to visit him. From experience in our families, it will be a trip you won't regret.

Drazen, Do what you need to do. We'll be here. I can understand about a zillion parts all over the place. As for the "disaster", I think the lesson was learned.

To separate a joint: For PVA - use ispropyl alcohol. Some soak the joint, some others soak the joint and then wrap it with a bit of paper towel soaked with alcohol. For CA - Be cautious with this one. Soak the joint with acetone. Actetone is toxic. For both methods, no open flames and good ventilation is required. For PVA, heat also will sometimes work. Not an open flame!!!!

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.
