    Amazing work Ollie. I've been away for a few months, and remember you starting this build. The level of detail and your ingenuity was extremely impressive. I see you have continued on your meticulous build. I am still finding the time to start my first build, despite still ordering more kits! 2 toddlers, a puppy great dane, moving house, working full time, and a wife who just had surgery doesn't leave me much time.

    Beautiful build Ron, and an amazing log. I'm looking forward to following your progress and learning along the way! Cheers

    All good ideas. Anyone know the best solution for getting plans to stay flat after being rolled or folded. My Syren plans area really needing some flattening. I don't want to iron them incase I damage them, but if want them nice and flat. Cheers Rowan
  20. Pygothian
    That is an awesome idea, I love it. Will definitely try this technique out Cheers Rowan

    I think the ship looks absolutely beautiful how she is. If it was mine I'd leave it as is, and would be extremely proud of it! Cheers Rowan

    Thanks for clearing this up. As I've never physically seen ebony, I guess it's something I'll have to keep an eye out for. From everyone's description however, sounds hard to work with, and maybe not for a beginner. Cheers Rowan

    As I'm pretty new to this, I'm curious as to the differences this makes to painting the wales black ? Does it look better ? Anyone have an example comparing black paint vs this dye ebonizing ? Sorry for my ignorance, just curious, as it seems quite tricky, and not without risk if mistakes a made.
  24. Pygothian
    Wow..that's an impressive looking kit. What are the dimensions of this one?
  25. Pygothian
    You are doing a fantastic job...are you sure this is your 1st build ? It's making me feel very inferior when I finally get around to starting my build - work is chaos at the moment catching up after a few days off sick
  26. Pygothian
    I'm looking forward to further posts on your AVS, you are doing an amazing job. Cheers Rowan
  27. Pygothian
    Are you not going to copper hull it ? I'm still.yet to decide if I'm going to paint and copper, or leave all natural, change the woods and use some stains. Your build is looking great Cheers Rowan

    Still feeling too sick to start building, but got some goodies in the mail today. Full replacement rigging and blocks in Swiss pear from Chuck! Also got a few other goodies And a MS waterway marker as I'm probably to lazy to build my own jig Hopefully I'll get started this week once the antibiotics kick in
  29. Pygothian
    I've got 2B and 4B. Is the general consensus 2B ? I'm assuming 4B is too soft and gives too much caulking effect.

    Very lovely ship you have there Anja, it's quite refreshing to see something new. I'm finding just about everyone builds the victory, endeavour, constitution and Syren (myself included!) Take care Rowan

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.
