    I wonder if we will have three or more hands in the future, think how much we could build in the same time
  2. Nirvana
    Floyd, I need to figure out size of bed and truck.
  3. Nirvana
    Floyd, When will it be available?

    Thank you Wayne, I found it under the "More Reply Options" I went to my local "glass shop" had two sheets of 1/8" plexi-glass cut to order in this case 30"x48" Perfect for the main portion of the building table. This way, I can have one plan underneath a protective glass. It's easy to change the plans as they just slide in-between the two sheets. Some one in the old type of forum was using this way.

    The design of my "external" workshop is developing, during the same time I am still working on my ships. In the office/workshop I have got two sheets of plexiglass each 1/8" thick, this to put schematics/plans in between. Somehow the feature of inserting an imagine is gone for me. The only way is to providing an "URL"? Wish to show some pictures from my camera which has been saved on the Pc.

    My Atari 512 STFm gave up on me, that with the bandstation and non number modem, otherwise I would be in the game! In another sentence, I have it going and with automatic updates. Thank you all for the support and down grading of PC units. Now it really works. Double

    Ah, darn..... seems like we are in the same boat , my workshop cant exceed the 200sq.ft. Size will be 12x16, floor footage, which gives me 196 sq.ft
  8. Nirvana
    Craig, size doesn't matter, it's the building technique. I am fortunate having big area to build on.

    Harvey, I was thinking 8088 processor Dos3

    Workshop is planned over on my property, unfortunate other "items on the agenda" has higher priorities. So far it is a combined office/workshop in the house. As for permits, living outside city limits I think I have different code regarding size of workshop. But I haven't checked it. Would like something in the size of 12x20. Someone told me as long it is not fixed to a foundation and it can be moved from the piers "size" doesn't matter. Once again I haven't got it confirmed. Besides that would be awesome being able to move the workshop to next location!

    Wayne and All, Thanks again for the responses, I have set it accordlingly to what Wayne posted, future will tell. thanks again.... To all

    Thank you all, the reason I posted this one I have tried all different ways to do this as simple as possible. Dr. Per is banging his head to find a better way. User of Windows 7 Pro, latest Firefox and latest Google Chrome along with latest IE. Nothing works for me. Old machinery?
  13. Nirvana
    Well, call me an old fart in this matter, but am I the only one who liked the old version when it came of topics and how the system followed only to the topics you had responded to without doing anything? Now I have to click and save the topics I am responding to. Sometimes I forget to click "Follow the Topic" and further down the road may have forgotten the topic "thread" I am following. Any possibillities to this changed? So once I have responded to a topic or thread I get the next responses without doing anything? Just a humble question
  14. Nirvana
    Dremel is defiinatly one item. Table Saw yes, but I don't have one. Modeler belt sander yes.!
  15. Nirvana
    Pete, seems like you have a very nice setup of a workshop. That Delta certainly will help with scratch builts and other projects around the house.
  16. Nirvana
    Thanks for the link, it has a bookmark for future purchases
  17. Nirvana
    Three name changes every 30 days is allowed.
  18. Nirvana
    Phil, you have done an amazing job. I like the details. I have AL's version of hmav Bounty and the same book. Mr McKay reveal so many other details not shown in the diagrams.
  19. Nirvana
    Rum for me to honor Donna!

    I have a no name scroll saw still in box (with laser guide, light and vacuum, (friend of mine has been using the same with amazing results)) considering selling it and going with the simple hand-jeweler saw for easy accuracy. Only my two cents.
  21. Nirvana
    I placed an order of the draw plate from Jim Byrnes. Shipping time from Florida to Washington State by snail-mail......... only two days! Cudos to both Byrnes Machine and USPS. Draw-plate as simple as it can be comes with instruction of maintenance. Here's the thing, I bought a draw-plate from another company and in a brief comparison, Byrnes came out way on the top. A simple draw for same dimension revealed a coarse and fine finish. I couldn't imaging that a such a simple thing would reveal so much of difference. Looking forward to next purchase from this company! When the piggy bank is available again!

    Popeye, I saw in one of the pics that the vent funnel is not located to the deck as on the Constructos America. Interesting but really nice and quick build.
  23. Nirvana
    Floyd, do I notice you have gotten your house sold?I am more than happy to come over with a rig and remove the workshop.:-)
  24. Nirvana
    Garward, I certainly like your build berth, and look so much more professional than the commercial items. I like to suggest you to post plans for us to build such, if possible. Looking good!

    Bob, As usual very inspiring, nice job! Llooking forward to my build of Bluenose

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.
