    Thanks everyone!

    At this rate, you will be finished within two weeks! What do you do to make all the different parts fit the right shape?

    I'm not very experienced with wooden ships, I am working on my first, but I do prefer wood glue over CA. I don't know how to solve your keel problems, but someone will probably have an answer for you. Good luck!

    There is an oddity shop in my neighborhood that has things such as giant pencils ! The one in the picture is not one of them though. My hull is about 9" long, or a bit longer than the average pencil. Here is the picture, as promised! Until next time!
  5. Elijah
    Sure! I will post a picture with a pencil sometime soon!

    Nice color! That is a nice hull!

    Nice job on the ruder Mike! Did you solder the brass wire to the pintles, or did you do something else?

    Hello again! Thanks for all the comments! I made and attached the cleats. I sanded them, drilled a hole on the center, inserted a wire, cut them to size, painted them, and glued them to the bulwarks. Next up will be eye bolts and hawse pipes. Until next time!

    Happy birthday Pete! How's the build going?

    Nice job! You should be finished in no time!
  11. Elijah
    I get a front row seat as well! Fantastic!

    Nice job Sjors! She is coming along quickly!
  13. Elijah
    Very nice job Tim!

    Thanks Bill! I will take a look at it. I have finished sanding the cap rail, and you can see some of the cleats I am working on. I sand the cleats, drill a hole in them, insert and glue in a wire, and then cut the wire to length. The wire adds strength to the connection to the bulwarks. Until next time!

    I thought you might like that !
  16. Elijah
    Now that's an idea !

    The problem with leaving another ship at my other home is that there are two kittens constantly confined in my bedroom. I don't want to know what would happen to the ship in the rigging stage !
  18. Elijah
    Nice job with those masts!
  19. Elijah
    She is tall! Nice work! I know that feeling when you work on a part, then it breaks, or flies away in my case.
  20. Elijah
    Oops! I think I may need a new pair of glasses! I think the way the lighting was made the waterway look gray, so I thought it wasn't there. Please accept my apologies!
  21. Elijah
    Would metal primer work, or just normal primer?
  22. Elijah
    This is what I mean. The starboard side has it, but not the port. I hope his helps!
  23. Elijah
    WAIT! Count me in too! Nice job!
  24. Elijah
    Nice technique Mike! How do you keep the paint on the brass parts? I used the model expo black paint, and had a little trouble with it peeling off.
  25. Elijah
    Happy birthday Jerry! That deckhouse looks great! Well done.

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.
