    Ditto on the really big ship. Definitely not a short term project.
  2. GLakie
    Looking good Tom!

    They turned out great Dave. Beautiful job! Congrats. Cheers

    Glad you're keeping those squirrels busy Matt! Can't have them just sitting around with nothing to do. Good idea they came up with in using tick marks for tapering. Cheers

    Indeed a fine job on your rudder there Captain! As with the painting of the lower hinge, I would think as you do, since they probably wouldn't have painted around it, rather just painted over it. In the end, it's your decision Captain, so I would depict her as your own eye see fitting. Didn't know about a surgery. Hope it's not too serious, and good luck! Cheers

    Amazing job on a very interesting build. Very nice! Hope you don't mind my following along. Cheers

    Just watched your videos Chuck and saw you have a natural talent for teaching. I got a handle on everything you explained. Oh and by the way, I agree. ASAT's a very funny guy.

    Heard that myself earlier. Liked that franchise back in the day! Bummer!

    Nice Augie! Very nice! Cheers

    Sorry about the bad news about your ride Dennis. Can't stand insurance companies myself. But glad you've had a chance to make some progress. Looks great.

    Looks great with the masts in place Frank. Makes her look more complete.

    I agree with the other guys. Get a more well-known brand. You'll be happier for it. Proxxon makes a very good rotary tool, or if you're on a tighter budget, Dremel. Both are great and well known in the woodworking and modeling communities.

    Didn't have any intention of bringing that up any more. A lot of time and effort, that always ends with the same conclusion. Builder's choice. Besides, it's just a movie, and that was the first shot of her.

    Hi Keith: Been going over your build of the RW for a while now and think you're doing a great job! I admire your dedication to detail and getting things right before committing. A pure pleasure to watch! Cheers

    Here's a screenshot of the Acheron's stern, as seen by Russel Crowe looking through his spyglass right after receiving a broadside from her.

    That looks real nice Jay! Sturdy, but elegant in design. Cheers
  17. GLakie
    Does look a lot better in the last pic. Like the lashings shrunk a little after the cement dried. Cheers
  18. GLakie
    Didn't know that. Think I'll screen the movie again and take a few freeze-frame, screen-shots of the Acheron, then look for similarities.
  19. GLakie
    Got the DVD. Great movie!
  20. GLakie
    Speaking for myself John, I don't know how exactly they're supposed to look. But they look fine to me! Cheers
  21. GLakie
    Already starting #2 Matt? Cool! Be sure and keep extra nuts on hand so when the squirrels go to their Union Rep and ask for time and a half, you'll be ready. Cheers
  22. GLakie
    Looks real nice Bill! You should be proud! Congrats! Cheers
  23. GLakie
    Some more amazing work Matt! What exactly is that kind of threading called----needle-point---crochet? Must have taken those squirrels some time to learn that. Squirrel College or something.
  24. GLakie
    Really beautiful work Ed. I've been finding myself looking forward to your updates more and more each time! Cheers
  25. GLakie
    Well, as I mentioned, in the end, it's really what you want, but yes I think with all the other nice detail on the carronade sleds, the jack-screws enhance all that very nicely. Cheers

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.
