    Dave, I took a quick look at the monograph and it seems to me that the hull can be built on jig 1. The builder in the monograph does not seem to use jig 1 to help control the frame angle of the side planks. But it can be done using jig 1. Here is a look at the jig I used for my very "similar to a sharpie hull". Your thinking is correct. You can call me to discuss technique if you want. John

    Jim, This is a really nice build, and an excellent photographic record. Can't wait until you reach the rigging... John

    Truly, one of the finest pieces of craftsmanship I've seen in a while!

    Mark, I love your last comment on making the scraper. I've been telling the boys this very thing about new skills for years. It's gratifying to see the smile and look of satisfaction on the faces of other modelers when they finally try a technique and discover exactly what you said. John

    Excellent workmanship; and I'm happy you reminded all that it's not a race.

    I have long been interested in the ladder dredge Corozal which used to work the Canal zone in Panama. No plans, so I may have to reconstruct her from photographs.

    I like it! Have a good build.

    ASAT, Ask away. Tick strips is how used to do it in real shipbuilding.

    very elegant repair
  19. John Cheevers
    well done on the clamps!
  20. John Cheevers
    Each build is an opportunity to learn, develop, and refine your skills. You don't have to be the best ship modeler, but you should set a goal to be better than your previous effort. Keep digging!

    Chuck, You have a good eye, your fairing is spot on!

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.
