    Hang in there, brother. The average Joe won't know you re-did the rudder, but deep in your soul, you'll know, even five years from now.

    Frank, as another Yank with Irish grandparents, I'd like to follow along. Those folks were from County Cork.

    Druxey, your millwork looks as good as the beautiful work done by Norm Abram, of This Old House and New Yankee Workshop, in 1 to 1 scale.

    Jack, signing in for more fun. I'll join Mark in the back row and sit on a pile of rope lying back there. Yikes, those plans are most definitely cluttered. What a mess.

    Jesse, your carronades turned out great. Cap'n Steve's template will help keep those consistent.
  6. Canute
    Your cannons and accouterments look good, Ken.

    Jim, I presume you've been all over the official HMS Hood website. http://hmshood.com And the AOTS Hood is good, too.

    Elijah, you may want to add some insurance for the baby gate by storing tools in places the baby can't open. Same for your project. Stash in latched closets and cabinets. Should slow the wee one down. If those fail, may have to elevate things to the tops of cupboards and cabinets. Have fun on your vacation, padawan.

    Interesting build here, Bob. May I join in. I'll bring some pop corn, too!

    Matt, your sails are so-o-o beat! Like the Cap'n said; what's the other guy look like? Well done!
  11. Canute
    Looks great, Sal. Nice tip for the octagonal areas of the spars.

    Oh, you were one of the blokes hanging around the ends of the runways on the weekends, in the UK, back in the 70's and 80's, eh? We wondered what y'all were up to. Finally talked to a fellow in a pub one night, in I think Huntington, who told us what was happening. Just more aircraft fanatics. Glad you found your mojo; mine took a hiatus for a while, too. Let's do it.

    Those stacks are tiny jewels, Greg. And very nice work applying the myriad details.
  14. Canute
    She's a beauty, Dan. Sweet lines, for sure!

    Gerhard, your metal work is outstanding. I'd like to follow along with your build, too.

    Choctaw was a conversion and pretty active in the mid- Mississippi River from just before Vicksburg in 1863 thru the end of hostilities in 1865. She took part in the largely futile Red River expedition in March - May 1864. She was 270' long and 69' wide, with a draft of 8'. Pretty heavily armed with 3 x 11" Dahlgen smooth-bores, 2 x 30# Parrot rifles and 2 x 24#. Her 1-2" armor was supposedly laid over India rubber. Choctaw was said to be able to make 2 knots heading up river. Speedy it was not!

    Patrick, thanks for asking. I put it on hold until I can cut better looking curves in flay sheets of paper and card. Bounty launch is back on the front burner.
  18. Canute
    Chuck, your rope coils drape just like the full size stuff. And the carronades look great.
  19. Canute
    That's one beautiful barge. WOW!
  20. Canute
    Bryan, intriguing build you have started. I too would like to follow along. The detailing sounds like something I'd like to delve into. Lead on!
  21. Canute
    Interesting boat. I'd like to follow along, too.
  22. Canute
    Bob, your pilot house is a jewel!
  23. Canute
    Best of luck with getting the remaining issues, Jim. And also with your build. HMS Hood was a beautiful ship. I, too, will follow along.
  24. Canute
    He'll look like a Cylon.
  25. Canute
    Turned out great, Jack! The light looks good. What's next?

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.
