    Why do you ask someone else when you are the judge of it? You have to look at it...so you decide what's beautiful/good enough is?

    Welcome Chris! It's a nice large scale, will be interesting to see how this one develops

    Small update: It's getting more sunnier and warmer everyday here in the Netherlands, so I didn't spend a whole lot time in my hobby space. But managed to close the first band on the otherside too. So now going forward with band 2

    What a lovely build so far!

    I do think you can see the problem in post #74...the right ply gunport pattern looks a bit higher then the left. It's will be not symetrical when you place the stern window etc, but maybe you can shave off here and there some of the top right. You never see both sides at once, so maybe it wouldn't really be noticable

    Larger veneer pieces are looking nice and cool, but aren't the most easy pieces in a kit. That's what I discovered in my build of the Sphinx. There is a learning curve with these kind of woods...at least for me But love your progress! It looks nice

    When I ordered a few months ago, the website looked the same. But I send him an email, and ordering was no problem. Did you send a email?

    She begins to look like a real ship! Nice progress

    Great! I also thought of painting the sides already with some black...the wood didn't respond to it? It didn't curl a bit? The surface may be to small to really trigger a reaction, but that was my concern...glad you tested it out for me It looks nice

    Impressive! The difference in size is larger then I expected! Two wonderful build ships
  21. Ronald-V
    Congratulations! Well done, she looks beautiful
  22. Ronald-V
    Lovely pictures also!

    Gaining confidence by doing it in a different way is also great and you always learn something from it!
  24. Ronald-V
    Nice choice! And best of luck with this build

    I understand your reasoning to use the San Juan as a "practice ship". Personally I would lose my interest if I found the subject that i'm building would not be interesting to me. But if you can set that aside...then it's handy that you have practice hulls I used the first layer of the hull for practice...it's time consuming for something you never see again, but you learn a ton of it. And that brings me to the point of your use of very narrow plank...I must say, it looks kinda cool and nice, not that that's important, but you miss in this way a learning possibility how to deal with the actual size of planks. How they behave, what kind of bends are nessecary for this particular hull. A first layer is quite handy for...gaining that knowledge. But nothing wrong how you did it, you can still get it right with the second layer. It took me 3 hulls before I began to understand the process. Some understand it right away the first time/hull. Most important thing is that you have fun doing it, and don't be to harsh on yourself. Even if the planking isn't perfect the first/second/third time...in the end result it looks most of the time still beautiful and you won't even notice it

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.
