    Outstanding!

    Welcome!

    Thanks Dave! It would be great to see another LSS Halifax being built. I still have a LSS Fair America and eventually plan on getting to that one. However I'm going to go back to a few regular kits for to hone some skills. After getting my hands on some of the Syren rope I don't believe that I'll be using any kit supplied anymore.

    Freedom from the upside down position is a big milestone. Looking great!

    Got fed up with the packing twine so ordered some Syren rope from Chuck. It is VERY nice. Should be able to rig the anchors today. Here is a pic of the thrash twine vs Chuckrope!

    My wild guess is that the rubber being some type of petroleum product is not really inert and somehow it is either reacting with the wood or releasing some type of oil/residue onto the surface it's clamped onto. I've seen this type of thing happen with a couple other items I have that were clamped or sitting on rubber bases on a table or something.

    Lovely soldering and metal work. I really need to practice more with that. No matter how hard I tried to pin/clamp down the pieces the mini blow torch would "blow" the pieces out of alignment. Looking forward to next installment.

    Superb! The color contrast really sets each piece apart from the other.

    I guess I would have to see it in person. I don't think it looks too bad in the pictures.

    Welcome! Very nice ships. The Swift was my first larger kit with masts and sails as well.

    Excellent progress. Look forward to seeing your next steps.

    Wonderful progress.

    Very nice recovery

    Very nice! What a wonderful gift. This was my very first wood model and I am glad a few are still out there being built.

    I really like the contrast between the black and the lighter colored woods.

    I'm almost ready to start my Pinnace. I think we cannot have too many build logs of this boat. The more people we have talking about the issues the easier it is to proceed.

    Welcome !

    I like the pinstripe method. Seems like it could be easier than trying to sand down to a drawn line to form the rabbet.

    I don't know about anyone else but I just can't stand the smell. There is just something about it that really turns my stomach. After the first time I tried it out I couldn't ever use that stuff again for any reason. Kurt thanks for the explanation and link to that previous post.

    This looks great. Thank you for the step-by-step it really gives us a good idea of how you are proceeding.

    I like the look of a well done weathered deck.

    I like this book for the nice clear pictures but understand its limitations. I wonder what Lee's says about the specific example above.

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.
