    Are you going to simulate rust holes too? Like in the doors/fenders....
  2. Nirvana
    That rust detail is so accurate as the Citroen was prone to rust in those areas.

    Tutorial please!
  4. Nirvana
    That's so well done, I like the aging of the model. Wish I had those skills.

    Paul, First of all a warm welcome to our corner of the model ship world. Choosing a Victory model as a second, I like it! I didn't know that the false keel was made out of mdf board. You have done a fantastic job so far. I will follow along this build.

    Jesse, that's a very nice finalized model. I think Buddy approves too, otherwise he would have put his teeth into it directly.😄

    Beautiful start, like the aging of the parts.
  8. Nirvana
    Go with Gimp or Inkscape, they are both free and will serve the purpose.

    Chris, That is a beautiful detailed bow.

    Moxis, If you have had a correct licens from the beginning and have the key saved, you should be able to re-start your Corel Draw. Inkscape is tricky to work with, well at least for me.

    That's the best part of having a shed on post or skids, so you can move it. Then it's not a permanent structure. Part of International Building Codes.

    I remembered that one of my father smaller yachts had white caulking, (teak deck), so I did a quick search. It is still available to purchase. I would use thin crisp white paper to simulate the caulking.

    Found it directly, about five minutes later as I had other things going on at the same time..... there were quite an extensive collection of how-to's.

    Very nice wheel, I am going to steal the idea from you......😇
  15. Nirvana
    Bob, I will try the same with our remote.... as we have Xfinity as well. Thanks for providing the idea. Otherwise using the link provided will help. I did jewelry (silver) soldering back in the 90's, most to give away or sold for a fraction. Had a lot of fun with it. Time to pick this one up as I need to hone my soldering skills. A couple of ear-ring sets I made had the shape of the musical G-clave. Gave them to women in the choir I sang with at the time, highly appreciated x-mas gift.

    Malas, You should have the scale answer on the drawings (plans). My guess it may be a Model Shipways kit, part list says scale 3/16" = 1ft

    Don't know if you have seen this picture...… however here is a sloop designed by Af Chapman

    And why shouldn't we tolerate "plastic people", many of us have the plastic background..... and maybe even building a plastic kit in another hideout in their house; far far away in a corner..... lol

    Jagdmirage, first of all a warm welcome to MSW. Looks like you are off to a good start. Are you going to try to build it without any glue …. like they did back in the Roman time era?
  20. Nirvana
    And another warm welcome from Pacific Northwest.
  21. Nirvana
    If this is just the second hull your planking, then you're doing a grand job.
  22. Nirvana
    Rich, You must feel good now with the completion of USS Argus. Beautiful build a true masterpiece. Now it's time for a break, unless you have something else waiting to be built.
  23. Nirvana
    Craig, What a fantastic job you are doing, that detailing is stunning. I am intrigued by Trumpeters kit, and wonder how they stand out in comparison to other manufacturers. What's your input in that matter?
  24. Nirvana
    Pathfinder, Welcome back to a somewhat regular world. Great to hear about your recovery! I am myself a skin cancer recovery patient..... even though a very light one. USS Kearsarge is great build to put into the build logs. Looking forward to see your progress.
  25. Nirvana
    Magnificent! Thank you for making my sunny day even more beautiful.

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.
