    Just had a chance to to check out the Grecian in "The Search for Speed Under Sail". Oh boy, she has really sweet lines.

    I'm saving my pennies for that American schooner. You can put me down on a preorder list if you have one, Mark Friedman in Arizona.

    Chris, you've got me hitting my resource material trying to figure out the lines of the new venture. The stern looks interesting to me. Maybe a small contest to keep us all busy researching American Clippers is in order.

    Thinking about a purchase has anyone built the Amati Endeavour 1:35? What is your opinion of the overall kit. Thanks in advance for the input.

    I use a mix of isopropyl alcohol and water, mixing sticks courtesy of Starbucks.

    I'm in AZ and used to live in Pittsburgh 20 years ago. Still a loyal Steelers fan.

    "No way around building Kufu's boat now. It will also serve as an 'extension' to my review, e.g., the kit calls for rounding the provided square stock to support the canopy framework over the cabin. This seems a lot of work - so they could have provided round stock, since MANY of these verticals are needed and individually rounding them can result in irregularities unless one uses a draw-plate (presuming the square stock is straight grained). As mentioned, the original posts have lotus heads that I'd like to include - ergo the idea of turning bamboo skewers. Obviously the kit can be simply built 'as is' and get a nice looking result, but I'd like to do better." Round tooth picks worked well for the supports, they are slightly tapered and I found give the right effect.

    Glad to see that some you are doing a detailed view of the build and that the summary I posted peaked your interest.

    Even here in Arizona with very low humidity rigging can sag during our Monsoon season (rainy season). What I learned to do is let the line stretch out, I hang mine with a light weight on the end. As well as a 50/50 coating of water and white glue. Seems to work for me.

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.
