    I think you've done a splendid job on what looks like an extremely difficult part of the assembly.
  2. GLakie
    Nice work Tom. She looks great! Just wondering if you were thinking of rigging the hatches at all, or just as is.

    Hate to hear that Jesse! One solution I've found to work pretty well for really small things lost in the carpet, is those lint remover rollers after lightly brushing the rug with a backwards sweep of a comb to bring them back up to the top. Might help retrieve most of the parts.

    The bowsprit assemblies turned out great Pat. Very nice!

    Congratulations Bob! You've done a beautiful job on her!

    Beautiful rigging work Henry! This is a perfect example of the time it actually takes to achieve the realism that many strive for, but don't/won't, or can't take the time for. Very nice!

    These are the profiles I was meaning. There's one sheet with nothing but the keel and bulkheads, and another with nothing but framing, all shown separately along with these 2, a deck plan, separate plans for the lifeboats, a complete rigging layout and belaying plan in 2 more sheets. 8 sheets in total for this ship.

    Thanks Jack. That's good to know because if someone wanted to scratch build this ship, those plans would be a must.
  9. GLakie
    Are there any 1:1 scale plans showing profiles, deck fittings, and rigging for pulling measurements from directly?
  10. GLakie
    All things considered after looking at the - cough cough - highly detailed instructions , I'd say your doing very well Jack!
  11. GLakie
    Yeah, but all that extra work will be worth it in the end result, and I can't wait to see it.

    Sometimes "life" gets in the way of other things we would rather do Nenad, but we have to deal with what is more important at the time.

    Outstanding Frank! She sure is purty!
  14. GLakie
    You're doing amazing work Marc. It almost looks like it's more work furling the sails, than it would be to leave them unfurled, and rigging from there.

    Hairdressers or beauty salons would carry the 99% rubbing alcohol also as an alternative source.
  16. GLakie
    Wow what a bummer Grant. They looked so good too! But I know you'll come up with a suitable fix before long!

    Those are some great pics John. Isn't it amazing what a difference actual daylight does for the quality of the photo? I'll be spending the next few months getting accessories for a few of the power tools I already have, so I'll be in contact in the next few months for stuff for the mill and other goodies. Edit: Almost forgot to ask if you were planning on putting her up in the Gallery here?

    Outstanding Danny! You're a true craftsman!

    I think you did good Jesse, considering working with basswood. There's something I remember from another poster, (can't remember which one) , who "hardened" the basswood he was working on, with thin CA so it would hold an edge better. Don't know if that will work with the cheeks and head rails though, but it might be worth investigating.
  21. GLakie
    Very nice Dennis. You're giving the boys a great introduction into the modeling world with this perfect example of what can be accomplished with a little extra work.
  22. GLakie
    That's a cool looking stand Nenad. Complete with a hidden compartment. I like it!
  23. GLakie
    I know how that feels Mike. Just take it easy until things tighten themselves back up again.
  24. GLakie
    I know you'll make her match Dave. In the end, we only have ourselves to please or satisfy.
  25. GLakie
    As usual very nice work all around Bob, but I especially like how the pumps turned out.

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.
