    Wow -- creating your own one-of-a-kind laser-cut parts set is pretty impressive, at least to me. I'll be interested to see how this progresses.
  2. ccoyle
    Absolutely yes I would. I really dislike repetitive tasks, though we must often push through them in our hobby.

    There are 13 planks below the wale on each side. So far I have done five on each side. Fortunately there is no spiling to do, but there is still the monotony of bend, glue, repeat. I max out at about four planks per session before boredom sets in.

    A fine finish! Congratulations!

    I got a Serv-o-Matic for Christmas. Not this past Christmas, mind you -- Christmas of 2023. I intend to put it to use for Phoenix.

    Good work, Andrew!

    Good luck on this project!

    Welcome aboard! As you can see, I'm here in the Upstate. I don't fly fish, but I have used ultralight spinning gear to fish the Saluda River up this way.

    Believe it or not, I've had the best luck with the scissors on my Swiss Army (Victorinox) Pocket Pal.

    I think you are missing the main point I was trying to get across in the other thread. The issue there was not the use of the gallery but rather the use of the build logs area. The function of the build logs area should be self-evident: it is an area in which members create logs of their builds in progress. Showing images of a finished model by itself, without any log of the build process, is not a build log and sidesteps the intended purpose of the build logs area. Members go to build logs expecting to see how a model is built. Making use of the gallery is entirely optional. A modeler who finishes a build may exhibit images of the finished model in his or her build log, in the gallery, or both. There is no requirement that images of finished build log subjects be displayed in the gallery only. The question of the functionality of our gallery is a subject that can be discussed, but the questions of when to use the gallery versus using a build log is not at all difficult.

    'Helpfulness' is not a gallery criterion. 'Build logs' depict models being built; the gallery is for displaying finished models, regardless of quality. Thanks!

    Fantastic model! But since this is a finished model and not a build log, these images should be placed in a gallery album. Thanks!

    @Willem Basson I have split your query into a separate topic and moved it to the proper area. Also, please don't post your email in the open forum -- you can arrange to send it via private message if necessary. Cheers!

    Welcome aboard! Your schooner looks lovely!

    Fantastic result, Rob!

    Beautiful!

    Great introduction and start!

    Oh, boy! My BS degree is in fisheries science, and I worked in salmonid habitat restoration for five years before making the first of two mid-life career changes. Welcome aboard!

    I like to invest a little bit of myself in each of my models. In this instance I literally invested some of myself after accidentally puncturing myself with a piece of wire and subsequently bleeding on my model while I worked on it. Fortunately, all of the affected areas will eventually be covered. 🫤
  23. ccoyle
    Superb as usual, Greg!

    Thank you, Andrew. The wales come pre-stained in the kit (that is, I assume they are stained -- I don't think they're cut from ebony or similar). They get a little abused during the planking process, so they will need some touch-up when the planking is completed. I remember your charming little TSS Earnslaw. I have a number of passenger ships in my stash from both Paper Shipwright and HMV -- I need to break out one of the medium-ish ones sometime.

    A fantastic result, and ditto to what Kurt said!

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.
