Richard, that's awesome. Did you get those plates etched? Nice touch to the final ship?

What I understand, it is still an "unidentified object" or UDO as I would call it.... "unidentified deck object". I don't think we have got the explanation to it.... Maybe there is, and it just passed me by..

At the bottom "About us" some company by the name "Excellence model kits S.L.U" is mentioned, but searching for that name provides nothing. But both facebook and artesanialatina.net are functional. Since the cover page is showing Test page and the very bottom read 2020, well I think they are back.

Olha, Don't know if Bing translator did a good job or not. Дивовижна збірка! Любов вони, як дошка просто впав на місце без будь-яких зусиль. Бажаю, щоб моя дошка була такою простою. In English, Amazing build! Love they way the planking just fell into place without any effort. Wish my planking was that simple.

Nick, By curiosity, who are the designer of the models BlueJacket are selling? I have an old C.S.S Virginia model in box from your company. Bought on Ebay. Nice whaleboat!

Hmm, why is that I recognize that...... Do we have a common nearby, a person whose first name starts with an F? Didn't you snag The Agamemnon kit from him?

I have the s/n in the sail of my RC yacht, There are some differences but in general a number I the sail is like a Id-card, related to manufacturers and number of built units. The numbers follows the boat and can't be changed. That's what I just on an official sailing site.

Those sales are a problem...… lol,

Peter, I just finished reading through your log and enjoyed what you did. So, that's why your little notification marker will show quite some likes. Here's some information about Footy for those who doesn't know about her The Footy is an international RC class, here in the USA class approved by AMYA (America Model Yacht Association). The name is for the length: 1ft Here's a partial quote from AMYA; "A Footy class boat must fit in a box 12"L X 12"D X 6"W. Primary rig configuration is unlimited. Radio control is two channels only. Several different hull designs have been developed, and Footys have been built with lateen rigs, gaff rigs, swing rigs, and genoa jibs. The small size makes scratch building fun, but full kits, partial kits, and plans are available for less ambitious skippers. A Footy is a great boat for all anyone. A competitive Footy can be built for less than $100, is easily portable, and regattas can be held in the smallest of ponds; even in your backyard swimming pool!" I know you will enjoy sailing her, RC sailing is quiet and clean for the environment.

, Kevin, I know you will enjoy the build and there are people here to help out if/when you are running problem. This forum is made for questions and answers, a way to support each other throughout a build process.

The last rendering is even better, looks like oil on canvas. I have done rendering in SUPodium and Fusion360, but never done a rendering like yours. How long time did it take to process it all? And I like the boat in far distance. Great skills.

Very nice! I better get going with my kits! So I can start a new project. -
Thank you Kurt, I found some interesting kits on their website...… but I guess I better finish what I have in my "shipyard" waiting for attention, before dropping the anchor (instead of pulling the trigger) for one of their kits.

I stumbled over this manufacturer located in the US, in Tennesse to be exact. The name is Iron Shipwrights and they seem to make very nice resin kits, most of them are coming with PE parts (no need to buy other sets). Just wondering if anyone has experience with their products?

Wayne, first of all, a warm , As for card models, they are great as you don't need much of tools. Just make sure the scissor and knife are super-sharp, because it will be necessary. Start a build log - with pictures and text. She will be an interesting build I like to follow. I placed an order the other day from JSC and their communication service is outstanding. My order was shipped out today, Tuesday 30. Am looking forward to do some "carding".

Nirvana replied to Bill Hill's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I have used a Festool vac at a Woodcraft location, I truly want one! They are quiet and very efficient! And the hose is so very flexible. Here is a link to them. https://www.woodcraft.com/products/dust-extractor-ct-15-e-hepa-festool?via=573621bd69702d0676000002%2C576455d369702d2f2f0013a2%2C5764562a69702d2f2f0013a6 -
Perfect! Those pads are great to use. But they have to be cleaned, still easy to scratch the surface if they have any dirt on them. Oh btw, let the paint cure for at least 72 hours before any buffing commence.

Sea Witch 1846 by Zooker - RESTORATION
Nirvana replied to Zooker's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1801 - 1850
Thank you Bill and Louie, for stepping up and helping with good recommendations when it comes the restoration. It's not easy when seeing the ship only by pictures. This is what Modelshipworld is about. -
Outstanding paintjob! To buff the painted area use 6000 grit and water then with feather weight pressure get that shine!

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.
