    Hi Mike, things are looking good. Not sure how you are rounding off your stock, but if you were to mark where the transition is to begin make a shallow cut along this line, then taking your knife and starting on the side is going to be rounded carefully cut back towards your scribed line. Use short shallow cuts gradually increasing depth and length as required, this will produce nice square edges. If my explanation is not too clear let me know and I can send some pictures if you want.

    looks like you have it all handled, she looks good. Texture on cannons looks great I like that "pitted" look. Keep up the good work and you'll be sailing her off in no time!

    Congratulations, very nice

    Looks good Dave, I agree about the rosewood it really adds to the overall picture. The companion way would look good, I've seen you scratch build things before so I think you'll be ok with this too. Could you not modify the AVS(MS) companion way to fit here, making some hinges out of brass would be a way of securing doors open, using gunport hinges slightly altered could also work. Bottom line is you can do it!!!!

    I like that look, reminds me of my work area having that "worked in" look. So why not the boats that come out of it. Good Stuff

    This is the start of the end, Buddy. Looking fantastic!!

    Very innovative, looking forward to seeing them installed. Nice work on furled sails too!

    I've always wondered about the holes in top of masts if they were supposed to be sheaves or what, you have now answered my query and I Thank You. I have noticed you drill an extra hole in your blocks rather than wrapping the rope around the block, do you find this easier or is there something else I am missing? Great work, going to be sweet!

    I think the dark rats look better, good job
  12. donrobinson
    congratulations, awesome build
  13. donrobinson
    nice work with the furled sails
  14. donrobinson
    beautiful job on the planking

    Looks great, very nice work. When you say that you saturated the rope do you mean with just water or a 50/50 solution with glue?

    The rigging, in my mind, is where a boat really comes alive and you are doing an excellent job of giving this one life. Keep it up buddy
  17. donrobinson
    Very fine build, you are getting very close to the end of this voyage
  18. donrobinson
    going to be a great looking stern
  19. donrobinson
    Man have I missed lots, not sure how. Frank you have done some remarkable work since I last looked in. Your rigging has turned out great and the name on the stern looks so realistic, it is all just fitting together so good, going to end up as one beautiful build. I think you need to develop a practicum on your "aging" process, I'll be your first customer . Have a Good day Frank

    Again a great job Dimitris, this boat will look so cool with the rigging

    Hi Zoran, I just checked out your website and I must say that the Pielago is a very nice looking boat. Looks like it would be a great kit to build. Would this qualify for the free shipping also? Thanks, Have a Good Day

    Great looking hull and nice tutorial.
  23. donrobinson
    very nice Sal
  24. donrobinson
    Great stuff Dimitris, now go make the Admiral happy and buy a nice table for her.
  25. donrobinson
    Hah, that's something I don't hear that often, Thanks Frank

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.
