    Rob, a warm Welcome to MSW

    Are you going to build her as static or RC?

    This will be interesting, I am waiting for the day when I have a Bluejacket kit in my stash.

    Hi cpddet, you are off to a very good start with Bluenose, I have really enjoyed my journey with Bluenose so far. And yes, there are several good sources to access as for building her. Happy Thanksgiving

    Kenny, the last non-modell pictures shouldn't be allowed in here …… lol, just kidding. I guess I am not lonely when I say " I am jealous, of where you are located" Still waiting for that lottery win, so I can move.

    It's always a pleasure to read the build logs at the breakfast table. That's so beautiful 😀

    Hmm, learning by doing .....oh well, it could had been worse, like knocking the Syren to the floor....😎

    While we are on the cheap...… has any of fellow American friends bought this 9" Benchtop Bandsaw from Grizzly? Priced at USD 200.00 it is cheap, then when it comes to quality is another question. However, having a 5 star rating based on 170 reviews you never know. I like to get one.

    I am considering the ropewalk machine from Chuck, even thou' it's not powered.

    How could I? Nick, I am sorry ..... I forgot to mention how nice your Le Mirage is coming together. Beautiful done.

    As Jim replied, Proxxon basically the same as Micro-Mark. It should read the other way around as Micro-Mark is a Chinese copy of Proxxon. I have an older Proxxon that does a decent job, but after working with Byrnes table saw, there is nothing better than Byrnes! Saving up for that table.

    I am honored! Thank you. That transom is really tricky. Took me some trials before getting what I wanted.
  15. Nirvana
    Glad to hear you are safe and still have power. It's an excellent time for ship building.
  16. Nirvana
    Very nice transom build up, crisp and clean.

    Jim, I like that informative video. Can I order a case from you, for my Bluenose?
  18. Nirvana
    Great idea!😀 I will remember that when it's time for me to do the cannon rigging.

    Kevin, I didn't copper plated the hull of Constructo America either. I found a good paint resembling copper.

    Maybe it's time to renew my EAA membership. SolidWork is part of the French Dassault Systemes. EAA annual membership is 40 dollars according to their website.
  21. Nirvana
    So crisp and clean!

    Mike, you have a great daughter that certainly will become a shipmaster and beat us all with her skills. Daria, enjoy your time with your grandparents.

    So the brass chain-plates were treated with the Brass Black and came out to my liking. All the plates has the deadeyes installed. Next is to figure out nails to be installed in the small holes. I also made the block-eyes from the 28 gauge wire. At this stage I am looking at the plans and instruction regarding the build up of the masts and booms. There is still a lot of work when it comes to the deck furniture and other parts.

    Enjoy Cyprus, I love that island. Eat and drink well.

    Binder clips are cheap to buy as well! Have plenty of them.

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.
