    Frank terrific job and progress since the last meeting...really like the clamp solution and your vision of the Dunbrody build is incredable.

    What a great build and log, very tempting project...but unfortunately no room for something that size.

    Art supply store should have Charttex tape or something similar for graphics (pre PC presentation stuff) or try an auto body shop for body detailing. BTY how are your cello studies coming along? Love that sound...

    Can someone fill me in on this. I was reading that brushing a little ammoniated water on wood and placing it between glass and weighting it down. May take or help take warp out of sheet wood. I'm sure we have all run into this problem at one time or another with material for keels, etc. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks Dave, I believe you have to be a bit nuts to do plating.

  23. markjay
    Frank, it's looking real good. Hope I can get away for the next meeting. When and where?
  24. markjay
    Should be interesting, I'll seat in...

    I use single edge razor blades as well. Works well on decking as well as the planking. With planking, I start at the stern or bow and scrape the full length, then drop to the next planks (like painting siding on a house). Finish with very sand paper or 0000 steel wool.

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.
