    Love this Mike. Great work as usual! ian

    Derek, this is beautiful work. I am not sure what deliberate mistake you are referring to. I am not at this stage yet but it appears to me that your upper counter is less prominent than it might otherwise be - you know the place where the "Victory" is written? Or is it just the camera angle?

    Good job B.E.! I think it looks great. I’m sure you will feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment when you’re done. Keep the faith. ian

    Great job B.E., it will look even sweeter with a sanding and finish.

    Well this thing has been gathering moss hasn’t it! Hi Ronald. It’s been a while but I think I used masking tape, cut to measure after laying it over the bulkhead edges and then spray painted (can) the interior. I sort of wonder why I would even have done that but I may have completed the fairing process beforehand. thanks for looking in. Ian

    It’s hard to turn away once you are hooked. Best Regards, Ian

    Beautiful work Robert and ingenious solutions, methods that I am sure to employ myself. Ian

    Very nice job! The wood type really seems to suit the type and age of the boat. What kind of wood is that? regards, Ian

    Terrific job Steve! Such nice crisp work. regards, Ian

    Thanks a lot Jim. I used a flat black acrylic. I think, but not positive it is what Chuck originally recommended. However I painted over it with satin wipe on poly which makes it shine a bit more than I like. Regards, Ian

    Thanks B.E., honestly your build is absolutely beautiful and there has been more than one occasion where I had wished I was behind you so that I could have followed your lead. I have said to myself many times that I have to build another Cheerful so that I can do a better job next time. Al thanks for the compliment. I know your work and you will do a splendid job on it. You will also enjoy it as much as I do. Chuck has put together a beauty. Ian

    Very clever, nicely done!

    Thanks for the encouragement Kurt and Don. I really would like to see more of your build Kurt. Don I wonder what you’ve been cooking up in that shipyard of yours? Any undocumented projects you’ve been holding back? I cleared the Cheerful deck for action this morning . It feels good to be back at it. Best Regards, Ian

    Absolutely beautiful Nils!

    Nice work B.E. I actually miss the hull planking part. It reminds me how much I liked working with boxwood. Cheers

    Thanks so much for the (overly) kind words and for hitting the like button. Jim: Thanks for the encouragement. I am intrigued by the picture of your yellow cedar deck. Where can I find your beautiful model? Antony: Thank you. I have come up with a pretty reliable approach to removing planks by first treating the area with rubbing alcohol and then heating up the area with a heat gun (after the fumes have cleared!). The planks come off with ease. And clean up is easier too. Much appreciated Joe. I found your Atlantis restoration project the other day. Wow is all I can say! Thanks so much for following Niles. Love your work! Regards, Ian

    Beautiful model and exceptional work Joe. It is going to be hard to part with this. I am sure the client must be happy! regards, ian

    Decking 1. I used Alaskan yellow cedar for the deck. I’d also used it for the deck on my Brazzera. It is perfect for this application. 2. Decking layout. I would do it slightly different next time. I would let some of the bow planks close to the center plank taper so that I could end up with all of the planks except the center plank being the same width at the bow. I could have been more careful to achieve the same objective at the stern as well. This is where I am at today. It may be a few weeks before I have any updates. I hope these are of some interest and value to those starting out. Best Regards, Ian

    Deck Structures I bought and assembled all of Chuck’s kits. They are well worth it. Even the windlass which I built but can only conclude was eaten by my shop vac and dumped in the garbage after my semi-annual filter clean. Sigh, I guess I’ll have to order another one from Chuck.

    False Deck 1. I used an 1/8th inch piece of basswood cut longitudinally. Worked well.

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.
