I wonder about that "picture"/painting..... it looks altered to me, the rendering doesn't match the overall picture. I might be wrong.

In 1741, Tyger measured 130 feet long and weighed 704 tons. It carried six 6-pounders on the quarter deck, twenty-two 9-pounders on the upper deck, and twenty-two 18-pounders on the gun deck. Source: Rediscovering HMS Tyger (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) -

Nirvana replied to DaveBaxt's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Dave, I am using a unit which can be found craft stores. This one will do the poly/cotton combination and create a nice cut, but also to be used as a thread sealer. -
Laser cut cushions? Well, that is new..... not even the extreme modern yachts has that....😁 Chuck, that looks amazing!

Jonathan, I have using Vallejo paint for almost 15 years. I am very pleased with their paint both regular but specially AV (for airbrushing) And they do have two different gloss black, if you use a black primer the glossy with really come out. Best is to apply a surface preparation before applying primer. Has buscado gloss black - Acrylicos Vallejo. Go to Vallejos' website for more information. And I wish you the best with your painting.

Hello from Seattle - looking to buy a built ship
Nirvana replied to wyapa's topic in New member Introductions
Wyapa, just an hour and a half drive south along I-5 corridor there another Washingtonian Welcoming you to MSW. Start simple, if you look at BlueJacket Inc's website you will find some solid hull kits to work with. That way you can only have to shape the hull and get going with details. Many kits involve planking a skeleton frame. Some have issues with that some don't. Start small and finish what you started before settling on another kit. -
Chuck, I am loss of words! Pure Beauty!

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.
