    i havent even finished my first ship and this is high on my list to build, a really nice looking ship and im studying the instructions to help my building in general.

    for some reason i love anything oddball, like for example, the ship they used for the Queen Annes Revenge in pirates of the Caribbean. it was wrong on so many levels, but it was neat looking.

    as the title says, how do you decide on what to build? historical significance? personal significance? or just cause it looked cool?

    Ive gome through all the articles on here which are great, wasnt sure if there was any way to do it other than eyeballing

    ok, so ive been reading all i can about FoB planking, mostly because im not very good at sculpting solid wood, but im still confused on lining out the hull. each article ive read explains the process a little differently, basically most articles say to divid the girth by 4, how do you measure the girth? then to attach some string or narrow tap so one edge follows the bulkheads, and adjust until it looks right, how can i be sure the path it takes is right for the planks, or should i use a tick sheet to help?

    im starting work on my constucto hms bounty, and the hull wood is rough, and the sand paper seams to be making gashes in the side, should i switch to a finer sand paper or fill the hull then sand?
  7. lionfish
    How would you suggest removing paint from wood, other than sanding and scraping
  8. lionfish
    is one better than the other? what do you prefer and why?
  9. lionfish
    i was making kebobs for dinner and noticed that the wood skewer was close in diameter to the one or two yards i have, so im gonna try that and see how it goes

    What would be a good wood to make yards out of?

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.
