    Mike, that stove is unreal. Really great work. Next up is miniature bread to bake???

    The maple planking looks great. That is just about the most perfect shade for a lightly weathered deck. I don't really have any suggestions for the issue you are having with the ladder and possible lower deck.

    Popeye, I'm looking forward to seeing how the decals look in place. Do you use SolvaSet when you're putting them on?

    Bob, I'm in for the biggest challenge of my modeling career with this Connie. We look forward to seeing more progress on your Niagara.

    The pinrails look great! I think your choice in stain adds a little variety there. Great work.

    Tom, the treenails look great! That's just the perfect amount of detail.

    Rich, in tricky areas like this I've had some success using medium CA glue and accelerator. It looks like the upright part is sandwiched at the base by the two smaller pieces. I would think that once you get it down and put the reinforcing base pieces in that it would be pretty sturdy. That's just my two cents.

    The planking looks terrific Sjors. I hope you have enough room for this beast once she's completed. She's very large!

    Tim, your work on this is fascinating. Everything you're doing looks so clean and well done. I'm really enjoying watching this ship come together.

    Tom, your progress looks great. I have a question for you as I'm too impatient to wait for the books in the mail. Connie's original 1795 plans show no open waste. This would provide enough gunports for the 60 guns she originally had. The 1803 painting shows the open waste. Do you have any research that shows when the open waste was constructed?

    It's always a relief when you can successfully remove some glued on pieces without destroying them. Good work with that.

    Scott, thanks for your kind word.

    That is incredible work Ben. The transom pieces are very clean and precise.

    The finished hammock rails look very neat and precise. Great work!!!

    They do seem to be riding a little high from my understanding of the plans. Just deepening those slots a little should be a quick enough fix.

    Very nice looking quarter galleries Augie. Was the rabbit built into the plans or was that something you added yourself?

    Those stanchions look great! They are a great size for the scale and are a real credit to your skills.
  18. patrickmil
    That's pretty awesome!

    Decals? We all thought you were going the inlaid wood route. LOL

    Very nice work on the stove platform Bob. I'm assuming the wood slats underneath the metal pan are to dissipate heat?

    John, your Sultana looks very sharp! That is some great work.
  22. patrickmil
    The planking looks great CaptainSteve! The stain really gives the wood some nice depth.

    If you haven't though of it already, you'll want to get a couple items with perfect right angles to brace the bulkheads and keel together while the glue dries. That should help you with getting the perfect perpendicular bulkhead.
  24. patrickmil
    That's looking great with the paint!

    Tom, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

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.
