    Hey Augie, I've been away from MSW for a bit, and man did I have some catching up to do on your build! Congrats on finishing some beautiful rigging. Cheers, Robert

    Thanks John. Unfortunately there's been no progress on her for a bit -- but I hope to change that soon. Robert

    Thanks Aldo. I'm hoping to get back to her soon. In the meantime, your development as a master scratch-builder continues to soar to new heights! Cheers, Robert

    I've been away from the 'yard' and MSW for a bit Augie, but just looked in on your progress. She is simply one gorgeous model ship! Get that display case ready. Robert

    The hugely talented Alex M, here on MSW, is now offering scale rope that looks beautiful (no surprise there!). His thread (no pun intended) is here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1768-self-made-rigging-line-for-kit-models/ Robert

    Hi Mark, Very nice work! I just turned to paper for the bands on my pumps too. I'm glad to be in such good company on that. Robert

    Great work Aldo! Robert

    Nice going Jason! Those blocks clean up pretty nicely. I'm thinking about building my gun carriages next also, so I'm pondering the same types of things regarding rigging, etc. I'll be watching with great interest as you proceed. Cheers, Robert

    Elm Tree Pumps For some reason I got totally bogged down working on the pumps. At every stage, especially working with the brass components, nothing seemed to come out right the first time, and re-work after re-work was necessary. In the end I gave up on using brass for the iron bands and circles on the pump tops and sheepishly turned to black paper for these. At least the pivots, outlets and rods are blackened brass. Because I had such a rough go of it, I didn’t take many pictures during each phase of construction, but this is what I have. The pivots were cut from a strip of brass and shaped with needle files. Prior to fabricating the brakes, I installed the pumps in the step I had made for them. The completed pumps. And finally in place on deck … Robert

    Looking fantastic Timmo! I agree, the capping rail really is a huge milestone toward that completed look. Looking forward to seeing yours installed. Cheers, Robert

    Good Morning 'Mr. Scratch Builder', I'm wondering if you'll still accept kudos from the "lite side" of the forum? But seriously Aldo, your Triton is looking great! There's no doubt you were ready for a full scratch, and I look forward to watching her take shape. Cheers, Robert
  24. j21896
    Yikes! I'm glad your injury wasn't too severe Mark. Feel better soon! Robert

    Very nice Augie. Have fun with the family! Robert

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.
