    Hello captgino! I like the look of your planking !

    Hello! I got a book called The Lore Of Ships as a late Christmas gift and it is very interesting and informative. It has plenty of drawings as well as text, and covers a lot of topics. I will probably add on to this review as I read the book, but I will show you a few things about it now. P.S. Sorry for the bad lighting. This next page would be great help for building a cross section. There is so much more in this book and I would greatly recommend this book to anybody wanting to know more about ships or needing a reference on how they are built. This book will be a great help when building. Until next time.

    Hello Old Man! Like Mark (mtaylor) said, there is a very good example of a weathered ship by riverboat at http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/6400-alert-by-riverboat-krick-125th-scale/. I really like the way he did the name lettering.

    Thanks again Kurt! I am currently at my grandma's house and am not able to work on my ship. I have some great news though, I am now a full member of The Nautical Research Guild! I also received two other gifts. The book on the left looks very cool, and is packed full of information and drawings. The timber on the right is from Crown Timberyard, and from what I see, looks to be of excellent quality. I can hardly wait to get back at the shipyard, and hopefully I will with time to make a building board. Until next time.

    Following chucks practicum, marking the centerline is next. The first thing I did was draw the centerline on deck. I knew that making the centerline travel down under the boat would be more difficult, but I had an idea. I used some string to define the centerline. It follows the centerline on deck, then it goes down under the ships hull, and comes back around on top, right where the line started! So far, this looks to be a good idea, but if it isn't, please tell me so. Also, if it isn't a good way to mark the centerline, would you suggests any other ways? I have not drawn the line yet, just in case it is incorrect. Comments, questions, and constructive criticism are welcome. Until next time.

    Hello! This is a nice build you have here and I hope you don't mind if I follow it! Your boats look really good!

    The deck planking and the catheads look very nice! Are you planing on making the rigging functional? Those sheaves look like they work!

    I am hopefully going to receive a Nautical Research Guild membership this weekend! (As a late Christmas gift)

    Thanks guys ! Sorry that the picture is upside down. I have noticed that the spot where the keel will be at about the middle of the ship is very thin. I am not sure if it is supposed to be like this, but I will find out when I am (for the most part) done with shaping the hull. I should think start making some jigs for different things because I can only make them at my papa's workshop. I'm sorry I can't post pictures right now, I am in the school library ! -Wayne, that's a cool idea, using the keel to fill the gap! I will keep that in mind. Until next time!

    Hello again! I have realized something… I am a really slow builder ! Please excuse the snail pace of this build log. I (finally) finished getting the hull to the correct length. There is one large dent I will need to correct with a lot of wood filler that I will have to purchase, due to the fact that I don't have any. You can see it at the bow area. I will have to get to cutting cardboard again for the side templates. Also, I have a new baby brother as of this night, which is super awesome! I hope to have some more building time this weekend as well. Until next time.

    That is a cool moulding technique! Those pumps look great!
  22. Elijah
    Great job! That railing looks nice!
  23. Elijah
    Great job!
  24. Elijah
    This looks very interesting! I hope you don't mind if I follow your build.
  25. Elijah
    The lights look great! I wonder if you are as fast when it comes to rigging !

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.
