    Beautiful work on both the ship and case. I am at the point of building a case and looking for plans. Not much out there for plans. Would it be possible to get a PDF copy of your plans. I would really appreciate it. Lon

    Bill Thanks for the info. I've done a lot of woodworking but never tried inlay. This case looks like a real challenge. Obviously you have a lot of experience in woodworking. Lon

    Rich It's looking very good. I'm just finishing the Constitution and my next build will be the syren. I'm looking forward to following your build. Lon

    Bill I am almost finished with my build of the constitution and have been doing research on building a display case I just came across your post and think your case is the most beautiful one that I have ever seen. My model length is 48 " and I wanted to build a case with a removable door. Would it be possible to get a PDF copy of the plans. I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Lon

    I solved the problem by making a disk with 3 slots and placing it just above the weight. I left it there until each thread wound about it's axis. when the weight raised the correct height I removed the disk and let it wind. Made good rope. Looks like Mahuna already figured this out. Thanks for the help, Lon

    I've used new egyption cotton, I just tried a cotton/polyester blend very strong it did not break but two of the hooks pulled together almost pulling the hook out of the axis. It seems that two of the threads wind before the third starts. I've also tried different weight from10 gms tho 70 grams five different weights. The winding process doesn't get far enough to overwind. The weight only raises a few inches in a twelve foot length. I've contacted the prosak people and they so far don't have an answer. Hope someone has had this problem and found the fix. anyway thanks for the input. Lon

    I bought a Prosak 3.0 rope maker and am having trouble trying to make rope out of thin egyptian cotton thread. Every time I start the winding process the thread breaks. I have tried different weights same results. Has anyone else tried this machine with thin thread? It works fine with thicker thread. Thanks, Lon

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.
