    Just beautiful Glenn…cant wait to see what you do with the Winnie. The cedar on your Cheerful looks so lovely. chuck
  2. Chuck
    Really looking good....
  3. Chuck
    Well done on the square tuck!!
  4. Chuck
    That is looking nice and tidy. Very nice progress. You have most of the repetitive stuff all done except for the cannons. It should go much easier from this point on.
  5. Chuck
    That sure looks pretty. Excellent clean work.
  6. Chuck
    Nice work Tom. Looking pretty good so far.
  7. Chuck
    That looks great. A really nice longboat model. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Well done.

    Great to see you building again Jeff. Looks great so far!!! Chuck

    Looks good Bob....remember that you will probably have to adjust the position of some of those beams either forward or back to comply with the fittings below them. This is so they line up properly with columns and bulkheads etc. Chuck

    Remember….entries to the photo competition must be submitted by August 2nd!!! Time is running out so get your model entered soon.

    Beautiful. You have done a really nice job with the model. I do hope you enjoyed putting it together.

    I use Dull coat....or Krylon Matte fixative. I spray from far away....about 2ft. Chuck

    Just a wipe on poly finish. I applied and wiped it off immediately buffing it to a dull finish.

    Very nice….yes they do take a few tries. You did them quite well.
  15. Chuck
    Yes it is correct…just tie it around the mast above the shroud gang. the model looks excellent. Really nice rigging work. Very neat and clean. chuck

    David We have all been there...I am so glad you are sticking with it. My advice to you is to just slow down. Slow down your building a great deal giving each task much more care and attention. The results will be much better and a pleasant secondary outcome is that you will end up with fewer models in the end which we all know is a big problem. In addition, not trying to move ahead quickly to the next task can be much more enjoyable. Take the time to line off your hull and then only add a couple of strakes each day but done neatly and with care. Take twice as long to build your model and you will end up with half as many models to give away and less you have to convince your kids to take an interest in. Looking forward to following your Speedy project. 😃

    Ben that looks fantastic. Your lining off looks great....a really good example for others to look at when they start lining off their hull. You can see every strake just as it will appear when finished. That strategy will payoff in the long run.
  18. Chuck
    You have to bevel the edges of those planks so no gaps can be seen inboard. But since it will be painted also…just apply some filler. On the outboard side it looks like you just need to sand that area on the right side down to even it out. That need fixing because after you put the molding on it wont look good. You need to have a nice curve that isnt wobbly/ wavvy port to starboard.

    Chapter 7 laser cut parts are now available. Please remember that if you are far from needing these parts, please refrain from buying them. I will always have more made when these are gone. Your fellow Winnie group builders that are up to this chapter in the process will thank you. They have been eagerly awaiting its release. As soon as I return which is on Wednesday, I will start making the cherry version of chapter 7. Currently having fun somewhere in Virginia......either on a mountain or under it.....next stop Alexandria. Chuck

    Beautiful figures.....They will translate into some fantastic CNC carvings.
  22. Chuck
    Really nice work. The rigging is coming together really well. Chuck
  23. Chuck
    I use artist acrylics from a tube. I am using Grumbacher at the moment. But I have also used Windsor and Newton.
  24. Chuck
    I got it from micromark years ago. I cant remember what the name was but they have a few brands and color sets. I have gotten several sets and they are all mixed up now but check them out.

    A beautiful Syren. Well done.

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.
