    Not a bad idea, Dan. The problem isn't the material.. it's the size. Something I just need to work through.

    Thanks for the comments and likes. I plan on getting back to this when the Sphinx is finished but the doldrums have hit. Hopefully, I can get back in the game soon.

    Your sails are looking super, Ron. I like the translucence of them as it gives a more realistic look.

    I have no idea what happened either, Alva. The first post here... the long one is in Spanish, not English. Your other posts are fine. It is possible that Google Translate crashed or had issues. I've seen that in the past where if the text is too long, it won't translate.

    I'm happy to hear that all is well again. The model is looking great. The crew really puts it in perspective.

    Indeed it does. Seems every answer begats more questions. My question though is do the paintings represent different points in time? I would think repairs would create changes to decorations and ships aren't static due to wear and tear such as weather and battle and wood doesn't always age well at sea. And it seems that an "as launched" drawing seldom matches one "at disposal". So to me, many of the differences are very possible as "points in time". You doing a great research project on her and I find your findings and conclusions fascinating.

    Alvo, the model is one we don't see often and looking good. Please use Google translate to post in English. MSW, is an English language site. Alvo, el modelo es uno que no vemos a menudo y se ve bien. Utilice el traductor de Google para publicar en inglés. MSW, es un sitio en inglés.

    Phil, are you using "private" mode on Firefox? I use it for some sites and with "private" mode, it doesn't seem to fill in login and passwords.

    Welcome to MSW, Andrew. The Model Expo Shipwright Series has been getting good reviews. It's set up to start "simple" and then add complexity. https://modelexpo-online.com/Model-Shipways-Shipwright-Series_c_815.html

    Beautifully planked, Kevin.

    Welcome to MSW, Martin. I'm posting a link below to the search results for build logs on the Lowell Grand Banks Dory to help you out. https://modelshipworld.com/search/?q="Lowell Grand Banks Dory"&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=130&search_in=titles

    Feel free to do build logs in the scratch area for any projects you're still building or will build in the future.

    I don't think it was marked "finished" was it? I think he's just giving us a heads up.
  15. mtaylor
    One way to fix this is to glue a thin strip on "short" bulkheads. Once you get them all close, than the faring can begin. I've seen this in the past on other build logs. Even had the issue on my first build so it's not uncommon. But mine was a "die cut" kit.

    Ah yes... fun times. I had to sit in the driveway and not in the house or garage. Wefalck's comment about explosives applied to me also. Sadly, today we'd all be in jail for doing it.

    Well done, EG. Rock on!!!!

    Welcome to MSW, Alvaro. Since those are finished models, please post them in the Gallery. You can let everyone know by posting in this topic.

    Welcome to MSW, Allen. You'll have to get in touch with an admin for that. Chuck would probably be best as James is off on holiday.

    Probably the best philosophy to have about lotteries. I tend to be the same. I probably should have used the joke icon for my previous post.
  24. mtaylor
    I'd say take a sip for all of us but wouldn't want you hungover.

    For planking? Go up to the top of page and click on "more". In the drop down, you'll see "planking tutorials". Chuck's are in there there.

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.
