    Thank you 🙏 Thanks! No it's not always this tidy, but inbetween fases it is...so, for example, just as I finished the headwork on the bow, I tidy everything up and put it back in its place. It's always nice to start a new chapter from a clean and tidy place. At least that is how I like it. I have a friend who is an artist (painting and miniatures) that has a workplace that looks like there is a bom exploded, and het looks like that all the time. She just likes that and finds that cozy, for me it's too chaotic. Everyone has their preferences

    Not necessarily a beginner's choice as you only have 1 layer of planking that also needs to look good on the inside...But it looks like you're doing well! Have fun!

    Thank you! Yes, absolutely...and it's best when you've just finished a construction phase and then you can tidy everything up and put it back in its place. So satisfying 🫠😁 Thank you! Yes that is really simple to make and I have always enjoyed having these tools within reach, but also not laying on a pile in a drawer. And wish you ofcourse also nice days!

    That's a lovely "testpiece", it's a decoration piece on itself

    Thanks James!

    Not really an update, but a quick snapshot of what I've been working on. I've been busy cleaning up/reorganizing my house these past few weeks, and the hobby room was definitely in need of some work. I had a lot of stuff in there that wasn't hobby-related and was taking up a lot of space... I cleared everything out and moved it, and now I'm really happy with the space I have left! I also rebuilt the work table (it had rather uneven scaffolding planks and therefore wasn't perfectly level), making it a nice, long table (2.4m). I'm currently waiting for a magnifying lamp I ordered, and then I'll have it pretty much complete. It's not a large space, but it's enough for what I'm doing. Now I can happily get back to working on the Sphinx!

    Good start Ellie! That's a nice hull shape to plank for a first ship Regarding the PVA (wood glue)...there are quite some brands that require less waiting time, like for example TerryPat is sharing. I use the blue Pattex D3 and that one is within 10 mins pretty dry and workable, UHU is also a good one. Do look for a water resistant one, that's handy if you are laying soaked planks on top of it (or something in that matter)

    Welcome
  29. Ronald-V
    That's a big cutter! Will be nice to see this one build, have fun!
  30. Ronald-V
    I think it's a nice color palette as a whole...it all fits together well
  31. Ronald-V
    Really nice pictures Mustafa!
  32. Ronald-V
    Is does really add something to the model...these vertical strakes
  33. Ronald-V
    Welcome! What a lovely model you have build, I love the old look of it And a great choice regarding the Sphinx kit; you won't be disappointed. I'm having a lot of fun building this kit myself. 👌
  34. Ronald-V
    Great looking rope! I'm probably going to attempt to make it myself also...but that's in the future. I wish you all the fun with this build, good luck!

    You can enjoy planking for a while 😄🤪

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.
