    How to Make Clipper Ship Models by Edward W Hobbs This is a book, available at different sites. Just Google the book.

    It looks like it's been a year since the last post. Are you still working on the Sea Witch restoration?

    Congratulations!! Beautiful model. First I've ever heard of a Scientific model clipper ship being completed. I've wondered for years if anyone has ever completed a Scientific kit.

    Rob, Thanks for that tip. Yeah, I was going to pound on the wire directly.

    Rob, Thanks for the reply. Sorry to hear of your loss, but happy for you having grand children. I thought about smashing some round wire flat but assumed I wouldn't be able to get uniform results. I will try your method. Again I say thanks.

    Hi Rob Back in early August 2016 chain plates were being installed. Can you tell me what size brass strips were used?
  27. douglaspbrown
    Errors, make that part 254.

    Hi Ed, not only is your work beautiful and meticulous, it is also inspiring. In part 245, with regard to the yard arm holder it looks like the verticals areplain clothesline. What are the metal pins in the verticals for?

    Hi Rob, what did you use for handrail and posts?
  30. douglaspbrown
    Rob, isn't it the results that matters and not what was done to get thoose results? Also, are you happy with the results? I would be very happy with the results of the panelling.
  31. douglaspbrown
    Looks good! I hope you're encouraged by your results.

    Hi Elijah. Your Pantom is looking very good. I'd like to point out something in Chuck's Practicum. On pg. 16 he talks about the cockpit. Chuck points out that the floor of the cockpit should be 1 foot below the adjacent deck. I've seen some Phantom's where the cockpit floor was lowered and they look alot better than those that didn't lower the cockpit floor. Look at Chuck's cockpit on pg. 17. The ship's wheel is up against the grating. By lowering the cockpit floor there will be a gap between the ship's wheel and grating. Regards.

    Will acetone remove hardened CA?

    Nice work Elijah. What is the purpose of the sheet of paper with the lines drawn at an angle? See post # 287/

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.
