    It is a Canadian company but on the right continent.

    This is the smoothest way to get planks bent in several ways. This is the technique I have used for some time. I bought a nail pusher a long time ago and never used it.......

    That is just amazing Chris!

    Phil, your soldering looks amazing. I am trying to get to that level as well. Soldering is fun and pieces do hold together better than with CA.

    Wow, now that is tiny and amazing. Such a delicate job you have done! I am now scared building the 1:350 scale version and having PE details added.

    Peter, do you experience any heat buildup due to the increase of resistors?

    I have the smaller scale of her.

    I started out when I was seven years old, but I think the age varies depending on the situation and interest. I would suggest a simple plastic model and then transferring the experience to more complex models. We are very different in this matter; I had a huge interest of model building from a very early stage including RR and miniracing. I have seen kids at the age of 5 building models and getting hooked, in perspective it is more important to being able to finish a model than getting a show-winner. Just my two cents.

    Once I have my Elegoo resin printer up and running, I will certainly try out printing some cannons.

    I was recently fortunate enough to inherit a Taig lathe and mill from a friend who is downsizing. Both the mill and lathe are heavy to move around, but that should eliminate vibrations down to a solid bench. Along with that I also got the CNC unit for the mill, yes, they are pre-2020 but now it is worth to proceed with updates..... and if someone knows how to do it feel free to contact me. Bottom line, even a quality Chinese lathe will do your job. I was lucky. But would have gone with a Chinese or Taiwan or even possible a Japanese lathe.

    Paul, what paint brand are you using for PE?
  23. Nirvana
    Just pulled up a chair and grabbed a glas of wine, hope the glas of wine will last throughout your build.

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.
