    I have the smaller scale of her.

    Great start and a warm welcome to Model Ship World.

    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?

    Just pulled up a chair and grabbed a glas of wine, hope the glas of wine will last throughout your build.

    Warm Welcome to Model Ship World.
  9. Nirvana
    Beautiful!!

    I would use epoxy, but do your research as there are many types of epoxies. Good luck.
  11. Nirvana
    But still very nice progress.
  12. Nirvana
    Andrew, now that is a nice full scale sailing model.
  13. Nirvana
    Oh my, that is a severe undertaking of semi scratch build Bismarck. And yes, the areas you have pointed out are definitely in need of adjustments. But at the end the satisfaction knowing what you put into the accruements will surely pay off.

    Phil, your eye for detail is plainly amazing.
  15. Nirvana
    And these are 3d resin printed? Holy detail!

    Bryan, Gretel didn't you long to build. Nice outcome. I have some models to choose from.
  17. Nirvana
    Lovely to see it on the water......
  18. Nirvana
    Tamiya had a similar solution for their R/C cars, generated a lot of heat but also very responsive speed..... did crawling speed very well.
  19. Nirvana
    Bryan, your Gretel is looking great.
  20. Nirvana
    Nice detailing!
  21. Nirvana
    Chris, that is an amazing airplane. Hard to believe that is all a card model.
  22. Nirvana
    Rally nice card build, I would never be able to do such.
  23. Nirvana
    22 small pieces on your fingertip.... that is impressive!
  24. Nirvana
    Chuck, just by cheer curiousity. How many are orders from fellow members of Model Ship World? Approximately..... Glad having your ropewalk.
  25. Nirvana
    Oh no, the dreaded shipyard inspector..... to make sure you are following the protocols.

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.
