    Here's a simple yet brilliant idea - a frame calibrated ruler. The applications including the creation of a construction site are many. Take the lines off the frame profile plan and apply it to a yard stick using double sided tape. I borrowed this one off a French site I have been referencing for my build.

    Thanks gentlemen ! Thats a really nice reference Greg. I really took my time with these assemblies so I am hoping for a nicely faired hull. I am about to proceed with the construction site and make sure its exact to give myself the best chance of success here.

    Thanks Druxey - this keel assembly was not easy so I appreciate your compliment here !
  19. ChrisLBren
    Good morning group, The keel is finished. In some places the joints could be tighter but most importantly its straight and all the notches are in spec with the plans to receive the frames. Time to move on to the construction site

    Wow - nice work !!!!
  22. ChrisLBren
    It does - thank you V !!!!

    Thanks Greg - fun bit of milling this week on the inner keel parts. I used the TAIG Mill along with sharp Lie Neilsen chisels.
  24. ChrisLBren
    Looks really nice ! Question - it does not look like you simulate caulking on your models or if so its very subtle ?
  25. ChrisLBren
    Thanks friends - still quite a bit of work to go on the keel before its ready for frames !
  26. ChrisLBren
    I struggled with this assembly - 6 attempts later here are the results. I can finally move forward !

    Nice work Greg ! Currently Im plowing thru my keel on La Renommee - its a challenge to get it right - lots of milling. Its much more interesting than the monotony of building frames. Look forward to seeing your progress

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.
