    You're off and running Bob! She's going to be fun to watch coming together!

    Those gratings are looking sweet Tom. I'm gonna have to remember that "good-side bad-side" thing about them.
  3. GLakie
    Looks good now Robb, not sure what else you could add to it, unless maybe a piece of clear plastic to the round viewing port to simulate glass.

    Here's some pics of the Connie's stove as it is now Jay.

    That turned out real nice Vince!! Nice work!!
  6. GLakie
    Nice work on the dead eyes and chain plates. As far as the brass fixture, my best guess would be probably a compass.

    Just got on the site myself Nenad. It seems Sucuri wouldn't let me post or even get in either for 2 or 3 hours. Nice work on those catheads.

    Your planking is looking mighty fine there Mark. Don't know what you could have been worried about, because it seems like you've got a good handle on it.

    Looks like time well spent to me Robb. Your end-result looks great, and that's what it's all about.
  10. GLakie
    Maybe a paint with a flatter sheen, or a quick wipe with a thinner?

    Likewise, I'm sorry to hear about these problems Dave. Our ships can be fixed relatively easy, but fixing our health problems is usually more complicated. Hoping the best for your surgery.

    Very nice! I agree with Steve! The design of these older ships has always intrigued me.

    The chain-plates look fine Robb! The cabin looks good as well, and for the walnut, Jason should have exactly what you need as he carries it in his store. http://www.crowntimberyard.com/Wood-Species.php As for the pins, the smaller ones should be good unless there will be more than one line on it, then maybe, the 10 mm would be better. Cheers

    Not a good design idea, since that, essentially, would be a self-inflicted vibration caused by the off-set of the blade. It would eventually tear the bearings and bushings in the motor up. P.S. Kurt has a better idea with the stacking of the blades, Provided the arbor's deep enough to handle stacks.
  15. GLakie
    Yeah------I was thinking of having that one blown up and framed, then properly located in the apartment as a pre-notification for company.
  16. GLakie
    I don't think there is a 3" or 4" dado blade out there Tom, but Thurston Mfg. might be a place to check for that or even blades with a thicker kerf, for cutting slots. http://thurstonmfg.com/

    Magnificent Danny!! A beautiful cutter for your beautiful Vulture!! Well done!! Cheers
  18. GLakie
    Outstanding detail on those guns Ken. Thanks for sharing.
  19. GLakie
    Always a great learning experience Ed. Thanks for posting your methods.
  20. GLakie
    Outstanding work Danny. Your attention to detail never ceases to amaze me!
  21. GLakie
    The brass fittings make a nice contrast to the darker wood. Looks great!
  22. GLakie
    Pretty sweet there Matt! Tiny's going to be a great helper. Be careful though! When the big Bawls boys get wind of the special attention you're paying Tiny, they're going to be kicking him around for sure. You might have to put him in protective custody.
  23. GLakie
    What Mark said Jay! The joinery looks great!
  24. GLakie
    Safe journeys Bob.
  25. GLakie
    Those turned out good Nenad. Wish I had some cherry trees here. They're looking pretty tasty!

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.
