    Your carriages came out really well!! Remco

    I love all the details you're cramming into this little model. Makes me want to try something like this as well... Maybe I will allow myself a side project to get away from the planking I'm currently struggling with... But I shouldn't. Remco

    Lovely progress Albert Remco

    I love the Knechten and the way you made the hats! Remco

    Simply lovely! Remco

    Wonderfull display of craftsmanship, I can only imagine how challenging it is to get the shapes of the planks just right to get an excellent fit. Remco

    'Little progress' yet not an easy part to fit the grating next to the transom. Excellent fit of such a difficult part. Love the holdings on the floorboards. Remco

    Your carving turned out really really really great! Remco

    Sorry to hear about your humidity issues. But that will sort out with the 'right equipment' I love your workshop, lots of space and light. Remco

    I totally missed the start of this beautiful build. On the upside I had a lot of catching up to do so Druxey you you made my day extra special Your choice of subject is great and your execution out of this world. I will stick to workboats as this barge is out of my league Remco

    Hi Gary, Wonderfull progress. I'm wondering, how do you align the templates if you paste them to both sides of one piece? Remco
  13. Remcohe
    Absolutely beautiful Remco

    Hi Piet, the carvings are getting better and better. Jut a few remarks on the shark, should the dorsal fin not be a bit more to the rear(stern ) and did you leave the left front fin away on purpose. You could show the latter sticking out under the crocs foot. Picture Remco

    Ok, 2.0 is even better! Remco

    The mouldings are a lovely detail to the benches. Remco

    Nope, stupid questions don't exist, stupid answers do exist... Jan, first the blade is annealed, I use a small blow torch to heat the metal till it's bright red and then let it cool slowly back to room temperature. Now the blade is soft enough to use files and saws to make the shape of the waterway. Then the blade is heated till its red/orange and immediately dropped in a jar with oil, this is quenching. I used peanut oil as this was the only one I had in at hand. Then The blade is heat treated in a regular oven at 400F/205C Remco

    Thanks all! I lost count Piet Greg the scraper worked fine at the curved sections. I just had to go slow and take very thin shavings. The vertical edges1 of my scraper are smooth so they hardly take any wood off, the horizontal side is sharp and does all the cutting. The scraper was made from a blade of a Stanley knife. The steel was treated to soften it for shaping and then hardened again to keep the edge sharp. It's clamped in a small hand vice to make the scraping easier. Remco

    Between a side project to add more store capacity to my workshop (lots of extra drawers, can't have enough of them it seems) I installed the waterway. Using card templates to determine the shapes and home build scraper to get the typical profile of the plank (see last pic). The hook and scarf joints were extra tricky as the position of the waterway it self was fixed due to their shapes relative to the hull. So I had to get them right the first time. They all were ok, although sometimes I had to fill a minor gap with a small sliver of wood. The small piece at the bow connecting the port an starboard waterway was challenging. Remco

    That is a clever trick to cut the flanges! The overall result of your metalwork is great (again...) Remco
  21. Remcohe
    I'd say keep on going it looks very promising. I like it that the sharks tail is free from the transom and adds depth to the overall picture. If you can pull this off with the tip of the sharks nose that would increase the depth as well. Remco

    Hi Grant, Great project. To defog the instrument panel 'glasses' you can dip them in Future Floor Polish or an equivalent. Aircraft modellers use(d) this to make the canopy's clear. Remco
  23. Remcohe
    Congratulations Grant on completing such a fine model. I really enjoyed following your build. Remco
  24. Remcohe
    The pump wheel is brilliant. Remco

    That is a nice set of anchors Piet, do you take a commission and build me a pair for the KF ;-) Remco

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.
