    Nice planking B.E!
  2. Elijah
    That is a nice technique! The simulated sheaves look pretty convincing.
  3. Elijah
    Wow! That binnacle looks great! Did you take any more photos of the process? It looks good enough to me to be featured in an NRG article.

    I'm wondering, if I cut some squares from a length of wood and positioned them on the jig so that it would raise the plexiglass from the wooden jig, would that work? That way, none of the gluing surfaces would be touching anything.
  5. Elijah
    I agree! are those even copper? They look too good. How are they made?
  6. Elijah
    I may not know, but it looks nice to me!

    Nice start! What is that vehicle in the picture?
  8. Elijah
    I'm not sure I can disassemble it. It's glued pretty tight.

    Hi Mike! The planking is looking very nice! Those are some very odd methods for oxidization mentioned above. maybe a light airbrushing or drybrushing would work? I'm no expert on this matter, so neither is guaranteed to work!

    Nice work Patrick! Are those pin heads in the block?

    Hello again all! I'm guessing you're surprised to see another update on this log. Really, this is just the best space for the case I'm building for the phantom. I have been working on the case off and on for he past few months. I bought the plexiglass and built the base, and I'm nearing the point of assembling the plexiglass. I built a simple 90° jig to hold the plexiglass while cementing. I have yet to buy a cement, and I'm still trying to find a good space to cement he plexiglass. I'm thinking in he back yard would be a well enough ventilated space, but if you think not, let me know! I also bought some polish for the plexiglass, as it is covered in miniscule scratches. Anyway, here are some photos!

    Nice work Patrick! How do you keep all those chairs from sliding around? Are they glued down?
  13. Elijah
    Nice! It sounds like that should work! What would you use as the protective finish? I'm going for a not very shiny look, so satin sounds about right.
  14. Elijah
    Thanks Mike and Chuck! Do gel stains have a glossy finish similar to furniture, or do they have a semi-gloss better suited to represent the boat as it was?
  15. Elijah
    Nice work! The mono-filament idea for nails looks very nice! What's your source?
  16. Elijah
    Thanks Ian, JP, and Jesse! I have yet to finish the wood, but I think it looks fairly nice.
  17. Elijah
    Very nice! The paint job looks fantastic!
  18. Elijah
    Next up is the deck planking!
  19. Elijah
    Finished the ceiling planking! I don't think it's perfect at the ends, but I don't plan to tear it all out and get new wood. It was a fairly simple process of soaking, bending, and gluing. Anyway, here are the pictures.
  20. Elijah
    Sorry, it's been a while since I've checked in. Your coppering looks fantastic! Nice work!
  21. Elijah
    The natural lighting looks very nice on her! I can't wait to see her finished!
  22. Elijah
    Nice planking EJ! Have you been doing a lot of spiling on a hull like that?
  23. Elijah
    Nice work on those ratlines! They look very good. Just out of curiosity, in what situations do you use those files in the background?
  24. Elijah
    She looks nice! Good work! Is the waterway laser cut?
  25. Elijah
    Nice work Marc. I've never seen drill bits like that before! They look like they would be hard to replace.

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.
