    Thanks Kevin. The TurboCarver bits on the mill were invaluable in making the pilasters. And the Tulle mesh is perfect. Trying to decide what’s next. Henry

    I found a posting within the forum in fittings, etc. dealing with this subject and suggesting Tulle netting fabric in beige and was able to order a small sample. We’ll see what comes.

    In contemplating the netting for the birthing rail, the gauge is just too narrow for my skills to undertake. Does anyone have a resource for its purchase? I have some which I bought for my Gros Ventre but it’s black. Maybe I ‘ll spray it tan, which is the preferred color, unless there are better recommendations.

    Beautifully done! Did you do the rails with a scraper or knife? I found the former produced more irregularities than the #11 blade.

    Main elements of the head completed. Does anyone know of a good resource for relief carving?

    You’ll notice that I don’t try to sanitize my work, however humbling that of so many on this forum is to me. The dirt, dust and imperfections, however, are the real thing. The important message I try to convey in sharing my stuff is that there are no short cuts, that the time and effort, as well as the imperfections, are there, in plain view. While I follow many of your builds and am inspired beyond words by your images, which render me speechless, I will continue to share my progress and learn from your example. Thank you. Henry

    Thanks, Kevin! Putting a bit of time in with the weather as it is here. Gotta make headway before fishing season. Henry

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.
