    i had to learn to solder, it is getting better as i tend to find reasons to do it now, learnt about different temp solders and found carrs green brilliant the etch primer i should think is out of date now i hate airbrushing, hence abandoned the build, i have a decent compressor, evolution guns, and never ever got a decent result on anything

    as for the build, i am making progress albeit very slow, this morning i made up 6 lengths or rope in two sizes, some soldering and shaping a few blocks, i wish i knew the names of the ropes im putting in, oh and some German, as all my dropbox contents are gobblygook to me
  19. Kevin
    Good evening everyone the wood arrives tomorrow, so i will be away from the build until the cabinet is up and running, i have two weeks to get it done, and i have have changed my mind so many times on how to do it, i dont have a way ahead the acrylic sheets arrived at the weekend, broken, they are being replaced and i have been told to keep them and dispose of or use as i see fit sized 900x1800, possible 1/5 has been lost, so i will be making good use of them
  20. Kevin
    what a lovely build, Stunning
  21. Kevin
    i was building this and just got bored with it, it now sits on the shelf of doom, i presume it is because i could not live upto the standards i was following by @Toolmaker, and the pure dread that i would have to break out the airbrush
  22. Kevin
    just re-read your log, what a lovely build you have
  23. Kevin
    Many Happy returns
  24. Kevin

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.
