    Looking great Augie!

    Bob, there's tons of room in Columbus. LOL. Sorry to hear about your experience.

    It looks really good! I thought you were going to surprise us with painting it and all of that texture would end up like a coral reef you might find off of Fiji. LOL

    The thought of sails on one of my favorite subjects gives me chills. Great job so far Rich!

    Great paint job Tim!!!! Can't wait to see everything mounted.
  6. patrickmil
    Possible coral reef?????
  7. patrickmil
    That green paint looks excellent! The over spray you mentioned is minimal and shouldn't take too much for you to fix. Great looking ship so far.

    Chris, I'm marveling at your approach with the contour lines on each bulkhead. No doubt you've got a very precise way of checking bevels on your bulkheads. What a great start.

    I don't know if you can possibly do 'better' ratlines when they were perfect on the mizzen to begin with. They are looking great Bob.

    Fletch, the progress is looking good. The partial berthing deck is yet another step I have to add to the long list. The coaming looks great BTW.
  11. patrickmil
    Great progress! We go away for a couple hours and you always manage to get some more pictures in.

    Sal, the planking is looking great. That's an awesome idea for your dremel to get those perfect angles.
  13. patrickmil
    Those part are amazingly well cut and that's very nice looking plywood.

    The bulkhead looks amazing Sjors! Great progress and I can't wait to see the deck planking for the level you just added. Wow!

    Mundie, the period you are modeling the ship in will dictate the color scheme. A good flat black and a bright white will do for the most part on the exterior (for today's ship) and something close to Tamiya's WW2 Russian Green would be a close approximation on the inside bulwarks. That's my two cents and I'm sure others will have their own ideas and preferences.

    That's a very nice looking kit! I'll definitely follow along with you on this build. Are you planning on fitting this out as an RC model?
  17. patrickmil
    Popeye, all I can say is WOW! Great work.

    Larry, when I did the cleats, I took a page from Dan Vadas and made all of them consistent by gluing strip wood together to get the profile and then cutting them from that. One of his more recent posts on his build log of Vulture shows what I'm talking about. He was making the shroud cleats I think.

    The yards look great Rich! Mounted to your masts is a great place to store them.
  20. patrickmil
    That is some incredibly small detail Tim. I can't wait to see this in place.
  21. patrickmil
    Great work Sjors. Those cannons are very neat and precise. Your Aggie is growing teeth at a very rapid pace!
  22. patrickmil
    Very nice Larry. You're right about the kit supplied cleats and I did the same thing with mine as well.
  23. patrickmil
    The A.G. is looking fantastic Popeye!
  24. patrickmil
    Absolutely beautiful work Augie.

    Larry, I'm very sorry to hear about your Uncle. Have a safe trip to Ohio. I'll try to hold the weather off best I can while you're here.

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.
