    Pucko, Knowing your ability of recovery from minor mishaps the broken tops is nothing, just take it easy with no rush. Is it to late to redo some of the planking?

    Depending on what you are to be doing besides modeling in the basement, linoleum carpet could be another option. Like scandinavian birch imitation.

    I like the planking as well, 1:200 scale must be a challenge.

    Watched the new program about Titanic regarding the charcoal fire that had been burning in two starboard holders for three weeks. This while she still was in the yard, creating a weakness in one of the bulkheads and hull where temperature reached something between 500 and 1000°C! The fire continued during her maiden voyage, using more coal than necessary. This along with natural phenomena created confusion on the bridge and collision with the iceberg was inevitable.

    John and Popeye thanks for the head up. Since Thermoplay is not one of nearest to be built, I will keep this in mind. Thanks

    John, now you made me curious as I have this model in the stash to be built!

    John, as I can see all of Popeyes pictures shows properly on my side.

    Denis, I couldn't find a couch to bring along, but I think the chaise lounge would be good. Hmm therapy, well the office is always open even though I may not be in

    Brian, That's so weird, when I double checked the website, it showed the big one....just the one I wanted. I also had Hobby zones website open to verify the product. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this may have triggered.

    Here is a comparison of San Felipe and HMS Wasa

    There are several versions of this machine available at Amazon USa, the ones I saw have received good reviews. Would I buy one at the price of USD 50 or more? I doubt it, the usage of a 1500 watt hairdryer with custom-made nozzle do a lot of bending, but keep your fingers away from the air, it's burning hot. The downside, only three setting for the heat, and the lowest can do some scorching harm........ and the noise!

    David, From the Pacific North West I send you a warm . No matter the questions you might have, put them out here, and a rescue party will be assembled.

    Chris, The quality of rope from Chuck is worth the money. I have several yards of his roping. Well spent money.
  20. Nirvana
    Remco, A warm welcome back to us. Sometimes a "time-out" is necessary and will make one more eager to get back to modeling. Happy New Year!
  21. Nirvana
    Erik, even though many years of modelling I considering myself a rookie and always be, it's a way for me to get more experience. I will never consider myself a "pro", no matter how much more experience I am collecting.

    Wood Project Source seems to have a various wood types as well. But as a sponsor of MSW they should be reliable. Didn't cross check the prices vs. Jasons. Beautiful planking.
  23. Nirvana
    That windlass turned out very nice. I like the natural brass over the gears.
  24. Nirvana
    Matthew, If you are to go with the BlueJacket's America, I like to get the first and best seat in the house. That lady is one I really want to build someday. Oh, a WARM , along with a Happy ending and Happy New Year!

    Chuck, Very nice..... but I have to say, I better not get involved with another project. The Admiral wouldn't be happy with me.

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.
