    Artist John Otway not happy with his work. I am trying to encourage him to keep at it as most of you did for me during the build of the actual model.

    I used netting from a costume store. The mesh size is a bit larger than a ladies stocking. The only problem i had was trying to make it look old. Washed it several times but it did not make a difference

    I find that when you strip any wood but especially mahogany into small Long strips it tends to warp If i do not stick it right away. If it was quarter sawn wood this would not happen. The bullet is heavy, shot from WW1, but it works well. i have never weighed it. The two wooden side moldings were just put there for the photograph. I will make them up this morning and silicone them in over the next few days. To make sure i have straight ones i will make at least eight.

    Well said Allen. I could still do this with this model. LOL

    Working on the corrected model now. Its a pain, but you have to correct errors if the model you are building is portraying a historically accurate boat or ship.

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.
