    Good mroning Ab from Trinidad. Its wonderful that you have joined us. I have both your books and enjoy reading them. This group of special people are fantastic and will appreciate your contribution As we go forward. I am still collecting data on the Tobago 1677 ships but way short of sufficient information that will result in my building a model of one of these ships. Welcome kevin Kenny

    Toni so happy for you. She look fantastic. I guess youll take a breath and start your next project. Have you decided on that as yet?

    These are the three bits i use with the Turbo carver to refine and clean up my blocks. Good blocks are essential to a realistic model.

    If you slightly sand the edges any difference will dissappear. I have also made moundings on my Proxoon shaper and on my table saw both with excellent results.

    I try to prepaint every thing before i install as a rule. Its simple to hard to paint parts on the model. This of course requires a bit of planning. Having said that it is almost impossible to do this with all parts. Masking as you have done will help. I use acrylic paint so it is easy to undo a smudge when i make a mistake. I think your model is coming out just fine.

    I suppose you don’t want to try carving them yourself. These task that seem so difficult usually end up very doable if you know what you are making

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.
