    Fantastic Dave! Wish I could carve that well!

    Love all the little details Danny! You're a God among us all!!

    That's where having a vise or anvil would come in handy!

    She looks marvelous Dick! I can appreciate the amount of research that goes into a project like this with "record-keeping" being what it was back then.

    I second that! Own the book myself, and found it to be a good investment. Bill's right!

    Cool stuff Jim!

    You're making some good progress on her Jack. She's looking good. Didn't realize how small those mini-planes are.

    Your headrails turned out great Jesse. Certainly a milestone!

    Here is a link for some pics for Cat engines used for marine purposes. Maybe they'll help you decide which way to go. http://www.cat.com/en_US/products/new/power-systems/marine-power-systems/high-performance-propulsion-engines.html

    Wow that turned out excellent Dave! You did a beautiful job!

    Top-notch iron-work Ed! Something to aspire to.

    Amazing detail on such a small scale Patrick. Your "imagination's" doing a great job!

    Mobbsie is right Grant! Be proud! She turned out beautiful.

    The planking turned out good Mike. I think it works well for it too!

    From what I've observed by following other builds Sjors, is usually they do the shrouds first, and do them "off" the ship until they're all done. Sorry I can't be of much more help than that.

    That's a mighty good looking cannon Thomas!
  18. GLakie
    Looking good Dennis! I hope you didn't get into too much trouble!
  19. GLakie
    Good luck Nenad! May all your drill-holes be straight and true!

    You're way too modest Piet! I've seen your work and more to the point, I refer to the level of detail you achieved on the 019, and your current VOC builds. You have a lot of talent my friend, and you should never underestimate it.
  21. GLakie
    The supports and steps are looking good Tom!
  22. GLakie
    I like your scientific approach with the testing of structural strength Nenad. Cool!
  23. GLakie
    Very nice Ken! Thanks for sharing!
  24. GLakie
    Those mast-tops look great Sal! Nice work!
  25. GLakie
    No problem Greg. Making those shouldn't be a problem.

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.
