Lighthouse by Nirvana - FINISHED - Metal Earth - METAL
Nirvana replied to Nirvana's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
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 😉 -
Mini Table Saw recommendations
Nirvana replied to captainscott's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
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. -

I think Microlux is a ripoff of Proxxon, identical besides color. Proxxon established 1977 in Germany. -
ancre Coureur by cafmodel - 1/48
Nirvana replied to cafmodel's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Such a beautiful build. -
Well, it's not a ship model kit, so admin and moderator feel free to move this build log. I don't know how many of you have heard of Metal Earth, this is a company located in Seattle, WA that came up with the idea to make PE kits. This light house build will only contain pictures no explanations. Only two tools were used, a fine plier and a cutter. No glue, and no soldering. Build time about an 1 hour.

Skeeta, sorry for editing your first posting , but this a huge and warm It looks like you are off to an extremely good start. Looking forward to your build log.

Nirvana replied to LMDAVE's topic in Wood ship model kits
I was looking at those pictures and didn't want to post them, it might be the Miss Thriftway too. Maybe the hatch was something your father created himself as for radio compartment. Hope the attic will turn up the missing box or plans. The plot thickens...😁 -

I am sorry to say it's not Miss Thiftway from Dumas. The lines are wrong. Further investigation needed! -

Nirvana replied to LMDAVE's topic in Wood ship model kits
Based on the labels in the model, this is from a kit. Maybe it's Miss Thriftway from Dumas, I don't know. Some work but can be fixed, would be nice to have as a memory of your father. -
Olya, I am impressed! Not only you are taking amazing pictures but also building small and detailed model ships. I am glad I found your website.

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.
