    I have the "Thermo" awaiting, but seeing this great built I wonder if I ever will get it going. The scale is convenient for displaying.

    Less, We shouldn't forget a high quality brush to go along with the paint.

    Jump started a 2017 Dodge today with help of my 2016 Mazda 6. All cars can be "jumped"

    Many times a picture is worth more than hundreds of words.

    Tor, all the running lines are nicely visible inside the fuselage. As for RC flying, I gave it a try in my teens, joined a local club trying to learn and gave up. I was best in crash landing. RC sailing is different, one axle less to think about.

    Brian, That eye is so exquisite, now I have to practice that as well. Very nice indeed!

    Mike, Make the test above deck to determine how much and also where to place the weight. Easier that way.

    Miles, Welcome to MSW! You don't happen to have any musical interest? With that name, I have to inquire.......

    Lou, A warm welcome to MSW. Don't know on what side of the Cascades you are on but if you are on the west side (Seattle area) I have a club recommendation. One of our members in here are the President for the club, which goes under the name PSSM. Send me a PM and I am more than happy to link you with the club, this goes for Seahawk1313 (guessing you are an Washingtonian too)

    Gary, this is the America I would like to build. The sheer scale and open hull side. Taking the first and most comfortable seat in the house to enjoy this build.
  12. Nirvana
    But so much better than the original finish.

    Came across this router base by accident, Small for Dremel, but much sturdier than what Dremel offers as I can tell. For the price this little tool will be on my wishing list.

    Mike, Where did you find the two sprays? I need the chrome for my boat. Looking very nice!
  15. Nirvana
    John, The Tassies' are common on Swedish water, there are many of them commanding ships like these. So I think you have to let this one go, at least for the moment.

    With the last input I started wondering if regular bleach (for washing cloth) would work as well!?

    Mike, It seems like I am to be the first to congrat you on a finalized Tug boat. I am glad the maiden voyage was successful in many ways. Do you have a name yet? If not, here is a suggestion; Sailors Rescue or Tug Along.
  18. Nirvana
    David, That looks so much better, now you can enjoy the build to the fullest.

    My Lowes store has them in Aisle BW , Bay 86 , just checked online.

    Derek, nice job on the planking, I also noticed you were being judge by someone in the background. Didn't know you invited Judge Judy for inspection of your build.
  21. Nirvana
    Did some research about the plywood and the origin, Don't know if I am 100% about this, but it looks like import from China. This after using the info from the "sticky label"
  22. Nirvana
    Keith, I am light years behind in skills versus you and your Altair, but you are the one inspiring me to manufacture a new steering wheel. As I stated earlier, probably gonna take several trials. Welcome onboard my journey with this Swedish boat.
  23. Nirvana
    Mike, I have stain sealer so that would help out, thank you for the recommendation. At least this time I don't have to worry about any shiny finish on my model.....

    Hej Niklas och välkommen ombord på Solö, Hi Niklas and welcome on-board on Solö¨. I used 90% Aceton (nail-polish remover) to un-glue the CA. That along with the 11 blade X-acto for cutting. It was a tedious job but well rewarded. Ps. Växte upp i österskär, (Åkersberga)

    Steve, the best part of it, will be the case as you will get a nice proportional one for the boat. Beautiful done!

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.
