    Some nice, neat, planking Boyd! This is just a thought, but is it possible the direction of the grain-flow is reversed on those planks? Maybe rotating 180 degrees end-for-end, leaving the same face up, might change the appearance of the shading? Don't know about maple too much, but maybe a test of a few planks might show something one way or the other. Cheers

    Nice job on the upper's Dale. I might "steal" that process of "off the ship" myself if it's all right. Cheers

    Some beautiful work Ed! It's always a pleasure to watch. Cheers

    Hope it works for ya there Captain! If successful, it'll make one nice base-board. Cheers

    I think your scratch-built wheel looks way better Marc. Nice work! Cheers

    It's amazing how much a little detail like that adds to the over-all appearance. Nice job! Cheers

    A truly beautiful job you're doing Frank! I've always loved the intricacy involved in this ship. Hope you don't mind if I follow along. Cheers

    Looks like you're making some good progress Fletch! The coaming looks great to me. Cheers

    Those chisels came out fantastic Matt! What will you be doing to amaze us next? After those squirrels take their short, and well-earned vacation of course. Cheers

    Lookin' better all the time Dennis! Cheers

    She's looking like you're just about ready to break out that cannon assembly-line again Sjors. Nice job! Cheers

    Just found your build log Dave. (So many, and so little time!) Your Mayflower looks marvelous! Very nice attention to detail. I know it's a little late in the day, but Happy Birthday and be there many more in your future. Cheers

    Fine piece of craftsmanship Dennis! Looks like your efforts are paying off nicely! Cheers

    Looking nice Piet! Been using the old "wet the wood" trick for many years. It works amazingly well on hardwood to get that smooth-as-glass finish. Just wet, let it dry, then block-sand. Doing that 2 or 3 times usually does the trick. Cheers

    I'm going to echo what the other guys have said, and also add that maybe that ebony plank could be flipped end for end to correct those drops. In the pic, it almost looks like it's curved downward at the ends. Probably just me! Cheers

    I like your work-space Boyd! Good choice for the Mill and accessories. Oh, about your recent purchases, who's the "lucky" one now? Cheers
  20. GLakie
    The stern decorations turned out beautiful Ed! Very nice! Cheers
  21. GLakie
    She's looking more and more like she should Dennis. Very nice! Cheers

    You're more than welcome Jay. They are expensive at $25, but Xuron makes the best cutters and nippers out there. Your Mom-in-Law has good taste in tools.
  23. GLakie
    Jay: Is there a number on those cutters someplace? It kind of looks like these: http://www.micromark.com/End-Nipper,11459.html?sc=WGB&utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=GoogleBase&gclid=CjwKEAiAlvilBRC5ueCzkpXb4kgSJADxop1B6UrKveQVj0IjXfKeIuOq2NZvsEqh7maL48ctSWBF3xoCwv_w_wcB at Micro-Mark Cheers

    Very nice Dennis! Amazing detailing work. Cheers

    Wow! You've got those squirrels working overtime Matt. Those chisels are looking great. An essential addition to any toolbox. 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.
