    Hi Ed,

     

    I am completely new to the hobby and these forums.  I have been looking to try some smaller ship-in-a-bottle type builds, but your scratch-built model is amazing and something to aspire to eventually.  It took over three years to complete?

     

    I have a few questions mainly about a few of the tools used (in particular the power tools).  Your homemade clamps are something I am going to try and make as well. 

     

    Before I get to the questions, I did notice that for me, images were not loading in these two posts:

     



     

    All your other journal posts in this thread have the images load for me.

     

    A general question; images with pins holding items in place... Are you just pushing pins through the wood because you will eventually be putting a "nail" in there of some kind, Or will the holes from the pins go away with finishing work?  Are you pre-drilling the holes for the pins?

     

    What tool is being used for the cuts in this photo:

    What type of table saw is being used in this photo:

    I have a Dremel and some larger power tools as my starting power tools for this hobby.  :)

     

    At the start of this build thread you mention using CAD to set up the drawings, etc.  Can you expand on that a bit more?  What CAD program, did you create the CAD drawings yourself based on research of the ship (you mention a ship building record as a resource multiple times in this build log).

     

    There are repeated references throughout the build thread about volume 1 and 2 of a build guide for this project. Are they published?  Are there ISBN numbers I can use to look up these books?

     

    I'm sure I could come up with a tonne (spelled correctly.. I am Canadian! ;) ) more questions, but these will have to suffice for now.

     

    Thanks for the really inspiring thread!

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.
