    Steve, That looks so nice. Well done! Question: Don you have a good time with the build? I found it both challenging and fun, and I am not done yet.
  2. Nirvana
    Don't thank me, it's a tip from our own Chuck. Did you download the new freezes from the locked instructions of Chuck's. Turned out that many provided in the kits were to small.
  3. Nirvana
    Very nice detailing!
  4. Nirvana
    Mr. Pucko Bending plywood is so tough, and many times resulting with broken piece instead. Has happened to me as well. And now we have to wait another four weeks before seeing the next step. At least you are not rushing this build.

    TigerSteve, Fixate the freezer with hairspray before handling them, this to avoid smudging them.
  6. Nirvana
    Pucko, I guess you have to find another ship to work on in between the issues. Looking forward to seeing more of this Vasa.
  7. Nirvana
    Steve, You got that right, a lot of sanding is needed. But the outcome is well worth it. Your longboat looks really nice.
  8. Nirvana
    Chuck, I like the idea of working playdoh before the wood. Interesting approach and how-to. Besides if it goes wrong it's just to start over again without any Woodloss. I think we have plenty of good carvers in here.

    SomethingIsFishy Don't have medical as a proffession, but the Admiral has 25 years plus in the field. Now working the admin of medical for D.o.C (Department of Correction) for WA state. She has been a savior a couple of times when boo-boos has happened. Looking into the other build log of yours. Both looking very good.

    Lou, Outstanding craftsmanship! Very nicely done.
  11. Nirvana
    Michael, for being phone pictures, they are really good.

    CHBorgm, Timeless she is and a true beauty. When seeing her on the water is a pleasure, the steam engine and the whistle (same engine since launch in 1903). Makes a minimal wake. If you ever go to Sweden and Stockholm you have to take a tour with her.

    I want to say sorry to Geoffrey,this based on the information Matrim provided. It looked so suspicious to me. I'm glad it got cleared. Looking forward to seeing this build progressing.
  14. Nirvana
    Geoffrey, I am a little confused. On the box it reads Hobby Line on the top left, while your plans reads Mantua. I am under the impression that you have a Chinese rip-off version of the original. Before you get into trouble with MSW, please read the topic regarding banned kits.

    If there hadn't been an explanation I was wondering how Michael got a "third hand". Yes that is cheating, when all of us only has two hands. On the other (remaining) hand, lol, .. Michael... you are of to a very nice start.
  16. Nirvana
    Steve, you have gotten long into your build log, it all looks so good and clean. You will be done in short time.
  17. Nirvana
    So simple and delicate, yet so complex. Nice bowsprit.
  18. Nirvana
    Dave, I wish I could apply a huge "like" to all of your inputs. This build log is great! Looking forward to more.
  19. Nirvana
    Bob, That looks amazing. Having the longboat centered on the base would have created several problems further down the road when casing. This will look awesome once the longboat has a home!
  20. Nirvana
    Maury, that looks so good. And yes, patience is needed too.
  21. Nirvana
    Aydin, Did you look for Valejo paint 70.966? Which is supposed to be the turquoise color. Otherwise those seats looks so nice.
  22. Nirvana
    Jaxboat, 40lb is equal to 2.86 stones. Good job. Now I need to the same..... lol And with the box containing the Victory I can do weight lifting!
  23. Nirvana
    Chris, If Amati pondering of having a test built group, sign me up.
  24. Nirvana
    Oh so that's what it's called, my Admiral calls it love-handles.
  25. Nirvana
    Chris, that's beautiful work you have done to create HMS Victory. Any indication of the weight? Prince is looking great too.

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.
