    May want to let it dry overnight in place. Don't rush it.

    Mobbsie, it's looking great! Very nice joinery and finish. And glad to see how you've organized your work documents in ring binders; I've done that for years and most modelers around here think I'm OCD or just anal.

    Matt, I'm sure between your design ideas and the Nuts Bros skills, those carronades will be primo! Keep it up.

    Cap'n Steve, that's one of those unwanted thoughts forever seared into my brain. Maybe some rum will wash it away... need a number for the Nutz Brothers.

    Good call by that parrot... oops, cockatoo.The shaping and finishing of the cap rail look great! Looks like that aft pivot gun/caronnade will have a good field of fire. My compliments to the Nutz crew.

    Your Mk XVII stern pieces look sufficiently "sturdy" compared to the Mk II "stiletto" look. Much more appropriate for a man o' war. Maybe if you do a yacht some day....

    You may want to lay your making tapes on a clean metal or glass surface and cut it with your sharp knife and a metal straight edge. The flat surface with take some of the tackiness off your tape and the fresh cut tape edge is way crisper than the factory cut edge. And like grsjax said, seal the edge.

    Brian, good idea firing up the mill. The cannons look very good, as does the sloop.

    Like how that aft platform turned out. They must have studied under Mr Myagi!

    Matt, love the patterning and choice of wood colors. Good work. My compliments to Woodie and his crew(s). Dare you Splice the Mainbrace?
  11. Canute
    Yowzah! Beautiful detailing there! Well done.

    Hope you didn't feed Tiny one of you "manly" cupcakes. Chocolate is bad for pups. Why not stain your wales black? Stain can be a good option vice playing with ebony wood. What's wrong with baking? I brew a little beer and bake bread occasionally.

    Ken, pretty much standard issue back then. We USAF aircrews had several other less "PC" names for them, too. I salute all veterans who served any time and any where. And to all my Viet Nam brothers and sisters, Welcome Home!

    Jim, Thanks for the mini-practicum.So many things to learn here.

    Grant, your little tutorial is excellent. The dimly lit light bulb in my brain just got lit up like a fireworks display. Thanks for that explanation for doing the beams.
  16. Canute
    Very nice job on both the Bomb Vessel and the Pirate Pig. Hope the Pig floated upright!

    Jonny, I'll pull up a seat and follow along. I like these cutters.

    Yer last photo had some good looking pieces there, Cap'n. But don't ye be leavin' any o' yer blud on the scantlings, unless yer meaning to paint them bulwarks in Claret.
  19. Canute
    Great catch on the plan profile. And a nice start on your build.
  20. Canute
    Very nice work, Jesse! Glad you are feeling better.
  21. Canute
    Hi Jesse, your work is excellent. Syren will be a beauty.
  22. Canute
    Bill, that's one handsome ship. And your detailing is excellent. Thanks for sharing.

    John, check a well stocked model RR shop. Preiser makes unpainted figures in HO scale, which is 1/87 scale. You may be able to adapt some. There are around 10-15 brands listed in the Walters HO Reference Book - their catalog. Check them out.

    Richard, take a look at this topic. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9150-readingdecoding-mamoli-rigging-charts/?hl=%2Bmamoli+%2Brigging+%2Bplans Bill is translating Mamoli's Italian instructions for rigging USS Constitution. But it looks like a good sequence. It may be TMI; however, it has some decent pictures.

    Mobbsie, looks great! Superior skill and cunning

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.
