    Looking great Mike. Yes the friezes for the lower and upper counter are a great way to check the curves. They will also help you get a consistent width for the upper counter. In Mike's photo below....the space between the two friezes is where the 1/8" wide molding will go. So align the upper counter frieze with the bottom of the transom and that should leave 1/8" between the lower counter frieze. Perfect!!!!

    Beautifully clean model. The finishing techniques are superb.

    Yes but the washer was already on it....but it doesnt have to be. Just use these....after the bit breaks of course. The kind with the 1/8" shanks.

    That looks pretty good to my eye. Well done!!!

    I think Rusty is using swiss pear and not cherry.
  6. Chuck
    Its a micro drill bit after the bit broke off. They are perfect and conical to use for making thimbles.

    Very nice planking Rusty. You are making some great progress.

    Actually for cheerful you probably wont need it for much at all. If you buy all of the laser cut mini-kits there really isnt much else to cut on a scroll saw. Chuck

    That looks really nice. Nice and neat. Well done!!!

    Excellent work!!! The hull looks good and the run of your planking is really good. You must feel good to get that finally behind you. And no stealers at the stern which looks so much better. Only one drop plank at the bow. That is how you plank the hull of a frigate.

    Here is chapter three!!! Disregard any typos!!!!! Chapterthree.pdf Dont hesitate to ask me any questions!!!!

    Cant say really. I am still writing it. But not too long. I am confident it will be ready sooner than anyone will need it.
  13. Chuck
    Maybe in a week or so. I am pretty sure most you guys arent ready for them yet so there is no hurry to buy them. In fact it might be better to wait until you are nearly ready for them because by that time I may have the parts available for chapter four also. Chuck

    Its not a race so take your time. This group build will be up and running for a very very long time. Slow and steady!!!!
  15. Chuck
    Thanks Ken!!!!
  16. Chuck
    Really nice!!! Good to see you posting. Are you jumping back on the Cheerful? That was also turning in a spectacular model.
  17. Chuck
    You are good to go......the measurements are only left to right on a scale bar. The height means nothing. You are just fine. Start making some sawdust.
  18. Chuck
    Just leave them loose. I did. No reason to glue them in.
  19. Chuck
    I wish....I have about 1000 2mm double blocks to make today.

    Welcome to the group....Its not too late at all. I expect new folks to join as this will be a long project that is here to stay. I just packaged up your latest order of Winnie parts and the masting for the longboat. It will ship out tomorrow morning. Chuck
  21. Chuck
    Yupp ....but it is still correct. This has been discussed to death. It is the way it was done however....
  22. Chuck
    Thank you very much....and welcome back.
  23. Chuck
    Its very timely and good to see your config. I am slowly drafting the next project which is a fully framed Winnie cross section. Its going to be a very nice subject. It will have 20 frames.
  24. Chuck
    That really looks good Ben. I cant wait to see it defined with the window in your planking. chuck
  25. Chuck
    Looks very good. I would fair a bit more on those bow fillers judging from how that batten run off them. You need just a wee bit more so you dont have a bump in your planking along the aft edge of those fillers. Chuck

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.
