    Beautiful ship, well done Ken. Congratulations on an extremely fine piece of art. Dave

    Now this is the kind of modelin I have come to expect when I pull up a chair in Piet's shipyard. You show yer stuff Piet!!

    Nenad gives too much credit.... Marc, all this time, I thought it was just me. Glad to know someone else sharing the same experiences.
  4. SawdustDave
    OK.... So this shipyard sign thing might take a little (a LOT) longer than I originally planned.... Why must I make everything so darned difficult?
  5. SawdustDave
    Thanks Adam.... you have to get back in the game so we can do this thing together my friend. How's the torn calf coming along?
  6. SawdustDave
    Ratlines all done. I can get on with life.... It really is great to finally see both models at the same stage of development.
  7. SawdustDave
    Thank you all.... Remco, you actually hit on the problem, as pointed out to me by my poker pals..... Here is the sign mounted outside my shop before I ever took up modeling....

    Aside from tying clove hitch knots, trying to find time to work on my new shop sign.... An old friend created this ships wheel for me .... I decided the flat surfaces of the spindles beg for more detail.... A little better.... not sure how far I'm going to take this.

    Great work on the sails Jesse.... Ratlines too. This is turning into a really fine build my friend. Nice fix on the broken truss....looks great.
  10. SawdustDave
    Simply magnificent job Toni. That is just so darned beautiful. WOW!
  11. SawdustDave
    Nice work Richard. This really looks like a fun build....very nice clean detail.

    Friends who visit my shop and see my little fleet for the first time often go slightly overboard with their "emoticons".... I'm speaking of folks seeing something like a fully rigged Vic for the first time....not real hard to impress....right? My point in telling this is.... They do not realize that my modeling skills would hardly be above average among my modeling friends. So, in order to put things into perspective, I sit them down and take them on a tour of a few of my favorite builds....and I usually save EdT for last....Leaves them speechless.

    Beautiful clean work Marsalv. She's going to be a real beauty.
  14. SawdustDave
    Russ, I really enjoyed this build log. Well done. Looks like it would be fun for about anyone.
  15. SawdustDave
    So now the fun begins.... As always, like most every other painful thing in our lives, ratlines too shall pass........
  16. SawdustDave
    Sorry to hear about your injury Adam. Torn calf muscles not fun to go through... Been-there-done-that .... By the way.... Among the very last things I would want my wife trained in would be the art of kicking.... If you know what I mean.
  17. SawdustDave
    Amazing job on the sails Jesse. You just reminded me of exactly why I stopped rigging sails on my ships long ago. Your Scottish Maid is gonna be really special my friend. Dave
  18. SawdustDave
    Makes perfect sense Mark. Thanks.
  19. SawdustDave
    By far, she's my favorite build EVER. And yes, scratch building her was quite a challenge.... especially her bow and stern carvings.
  20. SawdustDave
    I still have problems envisioning those cannon being fired in those rooms with the glass in the doors. Can you imagine what happens to that glass with the first cannon shot?
  21. SawdustDave
    Our mates from down under do have a way with words. I like....
  22. SawdustDave
    Beautiful sunshine this New Years day. Happy New Year everyone! Snapped off a couple of updates as we continue with her rigging.... Seems like I've been stuck here on this for a year....
  23. SawdustDave
    All the lower shrouds now rigged.... Working on the top shrouds now. Soon be tying clove hitches out the gazoo. OH BOY!
  24. SawdustDave
    After several years of modeling.... rigging a dozen masted ships.... I am still in complete awe at such beautifully done rigging. Simply awesome work Ken.
  25. SawdustDave
    Marsalv - You are a true master of the fine art of rigging. Amazing work. Dave

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.
