    Jesse, you should do a CSS Albemarle or Neuse. There seems to be a dearth of Southern vessels. Need a blockade runner, maybe.
  2. Canute
    Same as Grant, Brian. I'll grab a chair and follow along, too.

    Frank, that is an excellent frame construction tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
  4. Canute
    Excellent craftsmanship, Greg. She's a beauty.

    I'd like to join in too, Mario. Front row seating to boot! Whoo-Hooo.

    Water slide decals work best when applied to glossy, sealed surfaces. I suppose you could cut them out and glue the paper sides together, without wetting the decals. But you won't be happy, over time. The paper will absorb moisture out of the air and the decals will fall apart. Best to do as Les (bluenose2) suggests and replace them with the cloth ones.

    Sweet stuff there, Rusty. The grates look great.
  8. Canute
    Maybe use the real thing... Got to have clean surfaces for paint to stick to resin.

    Max, take care of yourself. I enjoy your songs picks and look forward to seeing your new picks. Your description of this kit sounds interesting. I await some pictures.

    A stunning build! WOW.
  11. Canute
    Bob, I'd like to follow along, too. I look forward to your educational departures from the basic kit. Play on!

    She's a beauty, Bob. Thanks for sharing your build. I look forward to following your next build, too.

    Max, I'd like to be an early bird and follow along. Looks like this is a very heavily decorated ship. Best of luck with it.

    Tim, next resin kit wash the parts in warm water and Dawn dishwashing liquid. It will remove the release agent still on the resin. I've used it and it works. And it's not a harsh chemical. Another resin cleaner I've read about on some web sites is Bleech-White, a tire whitewall cleaner. Haven't tried it yet; probably stronger than Dawn.

    Lee Valley shipped my US order from Syracuse, NY to me in the WNC boonies in about 4 days.

    The anchor looks great, Bob.

    In the words of many of us from our "yout" - Far out! Your workmanship is stunning. Theme song for this could be Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary", done by any number of artists.

    Dave, beautiful work on the transom. Fantastic. I like you plan, but don't ever get caught. You have to outlive the Admiral for it to play out. Otherwise, methinks it would end badly, with you walking the plank in shark infested waters.
  19. Canute
    Gorgeous work. Really nice colors along the gunwales. And I can see why the French called the cushion color what they did. Spot on match for what I saw every day on my horse farm.
  20. Canute
    Looking good, Cathead.
  21. Canute
    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.
  22. Canute
    Frank, as another Yank with Irish grandparents, I'd like to follow along. Those folks were from County Cork.
  23. Canute
    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.
  24. Canute
    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.
  25. Canute
    Jesse, your carronades turned out great. Cap'n Steve's template will help keep those consistent.

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.
