    Has anyone ever made their own bulkheads for a model ship? I have a Charles Morgan kit by Model shipways but I would like to make as much as I can from scratch. I was wondering if solid wood would warp more than plywood?

    Tom on page 443 of the USS constitution build, what thickness of styrene were you using? All I have is .020 and seems too thin. Thanks in advance.

    Absolutely great work! Your paint details are perfect. I can only hope to paint that well.

    I have the micro scrapers and after a little practice I found that the basswood that a lot of models come with seems to be too soft. I used pear wood and held the scraper straight up at 90 degrees and they worked great. These micro scrapers don't have a burr edge so holding at an angle didn't work at all for me. Straight up worked best for me.

    Thank you to everyone for your help. This is my first attempt at wooden ship building and I truly am enjoying it. The tape stayed down for about two weeks and then slowly started lifting. I'm probably mishandling the tape with my fingers touching the sticky side too much as was stated. I wish there was a video I could watch of someone actually putting on the copper tape so I could see how they are doing it. I learn easier by watching someone do a project. Thanks again.

    My copper tape is lifting up where it overlaps the adjacent tape. I burnish it well, so I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Is there a fix or do I need to start over? Thanks

    Y.T. Here is a pic

    Thank you Joe

    When the copper tape has been applied to the hull of the USS Constitution by Model Shipways, do I also need to apply a coating over the copper plating to seal it so it doesn't try to peel off? Thanks

    Mark I typed turning copper on a lathe in YouTube and watched a couple of videos of turning copper and the operator didn't use cutting oil or coolant.

    Great job on a beautiful build Ken. Could I ask did you make that 1/32" half round stock for the trim on your ship? thanks

    Kmart I'm going to get a front row seat to watch your build. Wish you well

    Ken your ship looks great. You may have answered this before, but how do you add the words to your pictures. Is there a special software or program needed to do it? Thanks

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.
