    The paint job on my yacht wasn't done by me, I had an auto body shop with paint both doing it for 50 dollars excluding the cost of primer, paint and clear coating. I couldn't have done that nice job myself. That being said, using Krylon spray can product shows that you are really good at painting.

    True Blue is a great name, and in my opinion a neutral too. I would have given my RC sailing yacht that name, hence the color, unless I had promised my wife to name the yacht after her. Mary II

    Henrik, It's kind of funny, my sons' name Henrik and I his cousins are calling him Henke, even though that isn't his true first name. Your "Aggy" is coming together nicely.

    Jim, Very nice build log. What's next to build?

    Hi Uwe, and a warm welcome to MSW, we do have a gallery where you can post your finished models. Finished models are being rotated at the top-bar. So, please upload them and describe models, any story around them - but no build logs, thank you. Start a build log of your current ship and when running into troubles start asking questions, we are here to help.

    Kyak, We are so sorry that your log got accidentally deleted, we have moved and tagged thousands of build logs. Any deletion is pure accidental, not on purpose. Again, we are sorry for this mistake.

    I truly like the white deck caulking. Makes it looks so crisp and clean. What caulking did you use? You have to be extreme careful when it comes to the varnish of the deck so it doesn't dissolve the caulking.

    I am so glad you got this model. You have done a fantastic job of recovering her. She needs a special place in the house to honor your father.

    Hi Michael, We have re-organized the build forums to it's easier to build logs, now it's categorized by time-era. I found your log and saw you haven't posted anything since the painting of the hull. Just checking in and hoping to see an update. Enjoy your summer.

    Henke, Just checking in with you and the progress of HMS Hood. I know the summer is killing warm in Sweden, my native country. And you might enjoying time out on the water rather than the workshop. Enjoy your summer and we are all curious about the diorama.

    Hej ubjs, welcome to our world and nice start of Danmark. You are one of very few building Danmark, so your build log will be an asset for our build log bank. One of the kits on my shelf waiting to build Danmark. So I am looking forward to follow along with yours. I see a section build in the background, please let us know more about it and start a build log of it as well.

    David, my hat off to you and your great looking Bluenose, she is a beauty and easy to build. Even though mine has stalled for the moment. I really like what you did regarding the deadeyes.

    Nicolas, warm welcome to MSW.

    Jim any 110 volt table saws available? Your website says 0.... I like to order.

    Very nice with the planking. There's a varnish called "Captain's Varnish" that will really highlight the wood. It is intended for real boats.

    Are you going to compete with the yacht? Nice to see kids involved.

    Bob, you have done a fantastic job with airbrushing. I have only used Vallejo paint so regarding other brands I have no clue how they are in comparison. However, when I airbrushed Bluenose, which was my first attempt I was surprised of how well the Vallejo covered the area. I think the pigmentation in that brand is higher than any other. When you are to get the waterline in place, which I found was tricky before I realized there is a trick. The trick is to use a laser levels self-leveling, place tick mark along that line and it should make it easier.

    Rob, I just read through your build log and you are doing a great job with such complex ship like Victory. I would also like to invite you to our local Puget Sound Ship Model club. Hopefully once the Covid-19 is allowing us to get together again we will start up with our monthly meetings. It's run by Floyd who also is part of MSW. If you are interested send me a pm and I will provide you with contact info. Keep modelling!

    If full scale it has to a Mustang from 1965....😉
  21. Nirvana
    That's why I will build a larger scale version....😃
  22. Nirvana
    Good light and magnifying glasses of some kind in necessity! I truly enjoyed the fast paced kit. And encourage everyone to build one, I had a Mustang going until one of my cats pawed it down on the floor and stepped on by a dog. Obviously I wasn't supposed build the Mustang 😉

    I think the majority of us would have been banned. A very much self-destructive way to run a website. 😁
  24. Nirvana
    Steven and Lou, what on earth …. what parts of the ship are you talking about? Are those the new definitions? 😉 @Oskar24, Trust me - you will have questions all through out the build, better to ask than to be sorry. And that's why we are here and having this forum, to help each other. Btw, a warm

    I have the fks/e proxxon saw, nice saw but not even close to a Byrnes. Has some desires regarding the fence. I do like the change of speed. A friend of mine has a Byrnes but I think there's some years in difference in between them to. Some day that Byrnes saw will be sitting in the workshop.

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.
