    You cant bend a strip into that curve. Yes that sheet is there for you to cut the bow cap. Make a card template first....as mentioned in the instructions. Chuck

    Another new item will soon be in stock. I had run out of my old swivel guns. Those were cast in the traditional way and not 3D printed. They has casting marks etc. So now that I ran out of them I figured I would do a redesign. Here are photos of the new 3D printed swivel guns. Two pieces. The yoke is flexible-ish. This enables some manipulation to just slide the yoke into position from the bottom of the barrel and into the the holes. Once you get one done the others will be easy. I am pretty thrilled with these results because as some of you may be aware, black 3d printing resin is somewhat less than desirable. The results often look too much like plastic or are too shiny and doesnt really show details well. So I have conducted many tests yet again on my resin of choice. The black finish is not to stark a black or but nice and warm and on the touch of a dark warm gray. Very dark. The material is also matte or barely satin. So its a win-win. I tried very hard to make these look like blackened brass or brushed metal which I think I achieved pretty darn close actually. This batch is 13/16" long not including the handle. (What is used for the Winnie). Use these straight out of the bag. I should have some more sizes and these will be fully stocked in a few days.

    Beautiful...stunning images.

    Beautiful work. A perfect match to the model work.

    Thank You...they look wonderful. Yes they are a bit on the lighter side...but it is easy enough to go darker with some stain. Just give them a little dip. It is however impossible to go lighter so hence the shade of all my boxwood 3d printed parts. I am glad you find them acceptable and versatile. How are those thimbles working for you? Chuck

    working on larger blocks now... 11/32" singles and doubles now available and I am cooking the 5/16 as I write this. Below is an 11/32" (9mm) single block with 3mm thimble and a hook fashioned from 22 gauge black wire. The sheave was also darkened with a #2 pencil as you can easily do that with these bigger blocks. Once the 5/16" are done I will make 9/32" blocks. I think 9mm or 11/32" blocks are the biggest I will make. I cant see much need for larger blocks? But I may be wrong.

    Actually the inevitable very fine dust that will settle on your model and rigging should make that barely noticeable. It wont remain shiny at all for long. 😉 Chuck

    Thank You for saying... French Style Lantern version one is now available in 1/4" scale with glass insert. Assembled just as the last one I showed. These are after Boudriot.

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.
