    I want to draft some plans for HMS Victory using Turbocad 18 Delux,on the body plan I have some of the station lines merge where they leave the keel and also at full breadth. How many station lines do I need to use to be able to draft plans. Many thanks.

    Does anyone know if you can purchase TFFM in the UK as the only copies I have seen for sale are all in the USA mainly from Seawatch Books. Many thanks. Brian

    Hi everyone, it's been a while since I started this project, but as I mentioned in a previous post I look after a disabled lady so ship building comes second to her needs, fortunately things have improved so I am going to make a start on building this Swan Class ship in the next few days. I look forward to posting my progress. Brian

    Hi Edward, thanks for the reply.

    Hi Edward, just found your build log. I've just downloaded all the drawings and was going to do the 1/48 scale, but having seen your build I think I might do it at 1/64. What program did you use to resize the drawings. Brian

    Hi AnobiumPunctatum, thanks for the reply, the reason I asked is because the bulkheads are at 1/48 but the centreboard is a lot smaller, I think it's about 1/96. Brian

    Hi guys, I've just downloaded all the drawings for Triton as I intend to eventually do all three builds, I thought I would start with the POB as I have done POB kits in the past. So my question is what scale is the centreboard drawing as I need to resize it to 1/48 scale. Many thanks. Brian

    Hi, has anybody tried libreCAD free software, and if so is it any good. I need a new CAD program as my Turbocad 18 deluxe isn't working properly and Avanquest no longer support it. Many thanks.

    Has anyone used Turbocad 21 Pro. I have the chance to obtain this edition of Turbocad and wanted some input before I consider getting it. Brian

    Hi guraus, just found your build log, very impressive. I intend to do a fully framed Victory and was wondering what plans your using for this build or did you draft your own plans. I have a set of John Mckay drawings and his "anatomy of the ship" book, plus Longridge's "the anatomy of Nelsons ships". Brian.

    Thanks for the replies guys. From what you all say I think I will be getting one. Brian

    Hi all, has anyone used the dremel ms20 moto-saw. As I have limited space in my dockyard I thought this could be the ideal scroll/ fret saw. Brian

    This s the hawthorn that grows in the UK

    Thanks for the replies guys. Brian

    I also need help with turbocad. I have the deluxe 18 version and have downloaded Wayne's tutorial. I can inset the plans, draw the line for the top of the rabbit and the curve of the rabbit, but can't find the tool for the perpendicular lines. Brian

    Thanks for the replies guys. The hawthorn I am talking about is the common hawthorn or may tree. The logs I have collected are about 2 to 3 inches diameter so I am looking at 2 years minimum seasoning time. Brian

    Has anybody tried using Hawthorn for modelling, according to Wikipedia it is a fine grained hard wood. The reason I am asking is that some Hawthorn trees are being heavily cut back in the area where I live and if it is alright to use I can get some logs. Many thanks Brian

    Hi everyone, sorry not been on for a while but I look after a lady who is disabled after suffering a stroke, so her need come before ship building. I have managed to do a dry fit of the bulkheads and decks and hope to get started on cutting the rabbits in the next couple of days. Brian

    decided to make a start. Trying to upload pictures but keep getting file to big to upload error. fixed it.

    Hi Chris, how deep did you score the plywood gunport patterns. Brian
  22. Brian100
    HMS Fly has just arrived. This build will be very much like the Pegasus build as the false keel and bulkheads are now made of mdf rather than plywood. I am now going to check through everything to make sure nothing is missing. I will start on the build in the next couple of days. Brian
  23. Brian100
    Hi Spyglass, thanks for the welcome. I had considered doing Pegasus but decided on Fly. Will be my first ship rigged sloop.
  24. Brian100
    I have just purchased victory models HMS Fly, I think I may be the first to do a build log for this model. While I am waiting for it to arrive I will be constructing a build board and sorting out my work area. Brian

    Hi Hornet, thanks for the reply, will have a look at the proxxon. Brian

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.
