    I have found your thread only today and I have spent most of my day catchint up with it. I am impressed with your technique, precision and creativity!! I have no words to describe how impressed I am by your work. I have a very small ship that I haven't worked on for a while (my job's falt) but seeing your work makes me want to go back to the table right away and work tirelessly on it!! And I was in Czech republic for work for 2 weeks (came back home last week)… If I had known your work by then I'd make sure to arrange a visit and be amazed by seeing your work first hand… 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    Man, I had no idea what I was doing when I decided to go for a doctor's degree... That sh*t is crazy... At least with a doctor's degree I can try for a position in a public university here in Brazil. That would be very good - it is pretty much the same as getting tenure in an US university. Nice salary, only teaching 8 hours a week and that's it... plenty of time for model ship building hehehehehe

    Well, it's been a while I haven't posted here... If you're following this thread, know that it's not because I don't want to, or abandoned the project... The thing is I'm on the last phase of my doctoral degree, and it'll be all finished by june/july... until there, my focus has to be on my life-long dream of becoming a full time researcher. But, as soon as I'm done with my dissertation I'll certainly have more time, and I'll happily post more often... Don't give up on following my build... It is something that really makes me happy. I hope in the end it will turn out alright... Thanks everyone!

    Wow Juzek, what an accident! Fortunately for a master such as yourself it's nothing, it looks even better now... as for the tips, thanks a lot! I looked around and found some linseed oil, I'm going to give it a try! Do you apply it on top of the paint, or use the oil first and then paint over it? Do you use any stains before linseed oil? I'll think about the veneer strips, I think this might help!! Thanks a lot!
  18. fmartins
    Thanks a lot anyway! It is such a beautiful ship, I'd really like to build one like yours... but in a smaller scale (like, 25cm hull)... I'll be following your log! Keep up the good work!

    By the way, I spent a few hours online looking for references about this ship and apparently there isn't much lying around... Where did you get info on the Mordaunt except for the museum model in Greenwhich and the kit plans? Thanks in advance!
  21. fmartins
    Knock knock... errr... I'm late for the party, but man am I surprised I found your build log. This is some amazing building you got yourself going on! I'm mesmerized... If I had a doubt about my next ship, it vanished right away... My next build will be a Mordaunt, so please take a lot of pictures for reference !!! Jokes apart, congratulations on the clean build. It's really top notch!
  22. fmartins
    What kind of oil / varnish do you use? It's beautiful and gives it a weathered look!
  23. fmartins
    Beautiful build indeed! Congratulations!

    EJ_L that is precisely my finding today. I'm trying all kinds of improvised stuff to impeove this wandering off but so far nothing. With veneer its even worse cause it's so thong i end up cutting instead of scribing... tomorrow is a holiday here so i'll spend a few hours trying a few ideas. I hope i can gey acceptable results...

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.
