    Thanks, Gregory for your detailed explanation! It's pretty clear how everything works, but just like in Chuck's rope walk videos... I think I'll only see if I have more questions once I actually try it. It seems like something you really need to try to see if I've got it all figured out. But I definitely understand the basics now. And you really used materials you can find anywhere, like Lego gears...perfect! Again, thanks for explaining, will bookmark this for when I need it! 🙏

    I agree with Russ! Very helpful, LoydB, thanks!

    Info is always welcome ofcourse, if it's not too much trouble. Also handy for other forum members. Your homemade rope looks great! And 48inch sounds a bit more like a realistic length for me haha, in Europe the houses are for a lot of people a bit smaller then the American ones

    Don't you need quite a large room/table for using the ropewalk? That would be a problem for me...not yet at the point of needing the rope for the Sphinx, but something that i'm considering.

    Lovely planking!
  6. Ronald-V
    Nice start! Enjoy the process!
  7. Ronald-V
    That's art

    Good review! Are you going to build this one yourself?
  9. Ronald-V
    At least the 3d printed one had enough to eat! So much better 👍
  10. Ronald-V
    That's a beautiful looking stern!

    I have a faster drying one like you...Pattex if i'm not mistaking and that works just fine (waterproof). Sometimes in a difficult clamping spot, you can use your own fingers to hold the plank at the right spot and with the warmth of your fingers help drying it in a reasonable time (with the fast drying PVA) .Also a tip...sanding sticks are quite cheap to purchase at the drugstore like the Trekpleister or something like that. They use them for nail filing and work pretty good for our hobby. Also handy at the drugstore. Alcohol to dissolve PVA for fixing mistakes Aceton to dissolve CA for also fixing mistakes or clean-up

    Looks very good so far!

    Indeed amazing work Frank! That figure with the table looks so good
  15. Ronald-V
    When you start...do keep a build log
  16. Ronald-V
    Welcome!
  17. Ronald-V
    Beautiful result! Well done sir!

    That's a very good planking for a first timer! Nice job! Personally I don't have experience with bending veneer edge wise. I assume it will be a bit trickier than thicker planks.
  19. Ronald-V
    Always tricky parts those large plywood patterns...but it seems you did a great job with it
  20. Ronald-V
    Really like the overall dull colored look...it gives the ship an old impression
  21. Ronald-V
    Agree! Love the whole ship pictures! The naturel colors are great, works very well
  22. Ronald-V
    Lovely work so far!
  23. Ronald-V
    Masterful 🙏
  24. Ronald-V
    That's going to be a beautiful boat! Nicely done.
  25. Ronald-V
    Lovely result! Nice clean build, Congratulations! 🙂

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.
