    The term yellow cedar is a bit of a misnomer it is actually a cypress. although it does cut and plane and smell a bit like cedar It is a beautiful creamy wood and I am going to plank the Launch "skipjack" with it. Michael

    Vaddoc Frustrating days can really test one's mettle! You are doing a fantastic job and the effort is most certainly worth it. Not long now it looks like you are on the home stretch. Michael

    Just went through the build KP very nice indeed, I am reminded of the tulipwood  Hispano Suiza. I do believe that Gerald Wingrove built a model of it. Your model of the bently fit up there with the best. Michael

    Thanks everyone for the likes and kind comments. A little progress . I had to make slight adjustment to the long side timbers due to a conversion compounding error they were about 7/64th too long, so set them up next to the centre beams and made the adjustment on the one end before cutting the cross member timbers. then cut the mortises in them and proceeded to do the same with the buffer beams. first shot is of the mortises being chopped out for the cross beams. next the four timbers in the buffer and then fitted I now take my hat off to all you folk who frame up the decks of your three deckers.... they would have to take me away in a straight jacket, I honestly do not know how you manage to do those decks as neat and clean as they are. It is very humbling indeed. Michael

    In order to maintain my sanity I have taken a break from the foam and started to build the standard gauge wagon that I am going to use to replicate the scene with the wagon on top of the little 18 inch gauge trolleys. I am using a bit of salvaged old growth clear fir that came from a soling paneled door. You could also say that I am practicing cutting the mortise and tenons that so many of you execute with such precision in the deck framing that many of the wonderful builds have. The sequence pretty much speaks for itself. first though I did a quick practice. And finally some blank tyres cut from some 2 3/4 x 1/4 solid drawn tube for the wheels that need to be machined to thickness and profiled . Time to some tea. Michael

    Problem is you would also need to charter and aeroplane as well because Keith lives in the south of England. Michael

    Today I finished the rough filling up of the ground round the track on the outside of the works. The loco is running a little rough so I will need to sort that out. Michael

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.
