    That's really cool! Must have been some free beer up at the pub so the shipwrights have all left. Cheers, Todd

    I love watching a laser cut – and I use one here often. How much bigger or faster or more powerful will your new laser be? Cheers, Todd

    Well done Sir! Great looking ship you have there. Cheers, Todd

    Looks great! I designed and laser cut an N scale engine shed. All of the parts such as window frames and mullions were separate so many more pieces than yours. It was fun to do. Learned a ton doing it.
  27. Tossedman
    And soon the fun begins! At least you'll only have the one mast to rig. Todd

    Looks great Erik! nice work on the spars.. Todd

    I was browsing YouTube as I am wont to do from time to time and stumbled across this: It got me thinking and I searched for an image of a Royal Navy sailor from the early 1800s. I stumbled across this image: http://history-making.com/product/bosuns-mate-1806/ Following the steps in the video I went to makerworld.com and I created a 3D model from the 2D image. Here's what was generated. I then downloaded the OBJ file and threw it into my FDM printer and came up with this. This is printed at 0.4mm layer height and has had nothing done to it other than take off the supports. It's 82mm tall but could easily be scaled down. Give this technology some time to mature and it could be amazing. Only thing is, how does copyright affect such things? Could be a smelly can of worms that are being opened here. Perhaps it will render old paintings that are long out of copyright into 3D models. We'll have to see. You should be able to 3D print yourself though. Just dress up and take a photo. Suddenly, you're at the helm of your model ship. Cheers, Todd

    Nope, not yet. I'm thinking of getting a resin printer once it warms up outside. Will keep it in the garage. It's -27°C at the moment (feels like -38°C with the wind). Probably too cold for a printer in my unheated garage. 🥶
  31. Tossedman
    Welcome from another Calgarian. Cheers eh, Todd
  32. Tossedman
    Chris, I love how you combine the 3D printed boats with laser cut parts. Nice to see such technologies put to good use. Cheers, Todd

    I have both the Proxxon Bench Drill Press TBM 115 and the MICRO Compound Table KT 70. I use them both extensively and quite like them. I don't do any milling with this set up but it's great for drilling. I also have the PROXXON Precision Steel Vice PM 40 on the micro compound table. Great for repetition as I'll laser cut little jigs to hold pieces for accurate drilling. Cheers, Todd

    Nicely done Ben. Impressive work!
  35. Tossedman
    Looks great Ron! Are you designing with SketchUp? Your last image makes me think so. You're really making me think about getting a resin 3D printer with all of this great stuff you're designing. I think the through bolt should added afterwards along with all of the other wire eyelets, although you don't really see it when the barrel is mounted. I'm not experienced enough with resin printing to comment on whether to print as separate pieces or all as one. Looking forward to your finished design. Cheers, Todd

    Looks great! Good to see you're installing an industrial fume extractor. Both the laser cutter and resin printer need to be vented. Too many people are 3D printing without any fume extraction and that resin is nasty stuff. Looking forward to seeing your completed new shop setup. Good luck with packing and moving. Cheers, Todd

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.
