    You take a lot of details into account! Great job!
  2. Elijah
    That basket looks great!

    I have a question. Would measuring the distance of the curve at the station line and dividing it into four equal lengths, then transferring it back onto the station line, work for lining off a hull? You would do this for every bulkhead. Thanks!

    I tried string again. It didn't work out well. I guess it's time to try card stock! The string should be where the pencil is pointing.

    You just keep making her better! How is it possible!? What's next, working lighting ?

    Does anybody know some good sources of art tape? I need it for lining off the hull. I tried string, and it was a little awkward to work with. Any suggestions are welcome! I'm still thinking about carving down the bulwarks. Hmmm…
  7. Elijah
    Thanks guys! I am going to spill my questions on you later today !

    I don't think I would have the patients to do that many frames! Great job!
  9. Elijah
    Nice job! Your planking looks very good!
  10. Elijah
    Nice planking!
  11. Elijah
    Thanks E.J! I have had a change of plan. I am going to plank and copper my hull before I thin the bulwarks and carve the deck. I'm doing this to keep the bulwarks from breaking while the hull is turned upside down. Time to do research on hull planking before I start!

    Thanks for all the compliments guys, much appreciated! I have been cleaning up my workspace in preparation for new stages in my build. My workshop feels 4 times bigger ! Back to the ship! Until next time! P.s. The second hull is lent to me so I can get an idea as to how my ship should look.
  13. Elijah
    The sternpost is installed, and the outer bulwarks are shaped. Next is deck shaping and inner bulwark shaping! After that, planking! Back to work! Until next time!

    She looks big! Have fun with her!
  15. Elijah
    Thank you! I am going to be using some cherry veneer, and it appears to be 1/64-1/32 or somewhere about .5 millimeters. It should be fun!
  16. Elijah
    Wow! This is an awesome idea! You are doing a great job!
  17. Elijah
    Nice start to the stern galleries! I look forward to seeing how they turn out.
  18. Elijah
    Thanks for the compliments everybody! I might as well double check everything, what harm would that bring? If it makes the ship better, it is good!
  19. Elijah
    Wow! Nice job in reaching this milestone! Have fun with that hull!
  20. Elijah
    I'm building my phantom, which the link to is in my signature. Other than shaping the hull and installing the keel, I haven't done much ! I have deck carving, bulwark thinning, and hull planking in the near future. First I need to install the stem post!
  21. Elijah
    Nice demonstration! It's helpful that a lot of builds I am following are planking, I will need the knowledge in the next few weeks probably. Thank you!
  22. Elijah
    Are you talking about extra space left from the absence of the keel?
  23. Elijah
    Welcome back! Nice progress!
  24. Elijah
    That is very sad . I hope he gets better, and that you don't go there as well.
  25. Elijah
    That is a nice deck!

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.
