    Those are photos from the Billings Boats website, build and photos by Richard Simpson. Here's the link to the photos. His build can be found here.

    Just found this thread and am now following along. You're making good progress Wayne. I like what you're doing. Which MCM steam plant are you using? I looked on their website and they have a plethora of them. I've always been intrigued by steam and this looks like it could be a way to get into it. I'm assuming you're going to be able to control the steam plant by remote control. Looks like a fun build and will be fun to operate when it's done. Does anyone make 1/12 scale figures of Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn? That would be the crowning touch. Looking forward to following your progress. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Todd

    I use an Apple MacBook Pro, 2019 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel i7, 16 GB of ram, 1TB SSD. I run Adobe Photoshop 2024 and Illustrator 2024, SketchUp Pro, Fusion 360, Shapr3D, Onshape, TinkerCad, and PrusaSlicer. Backup the SSD regularly using Time Machine to an external SSD. Never had any problems. Regularly exchange documents with PCs. Don't fear Macs, they are great machines. I've been using them since 1984 and have managed networks with over a hundred Macs and have experienced very little in the way of problems. I would replace it with another MacBook Pro in a heartbeat. The best advice though, is to get the kind of computer that whomever is going to be giving you a hand has. If they know Windows, get a Windows computer. If they know Mac, get a Mac. Cheers, Todd

    Beauty! Thank you sir!

    Ross, what blades do Ultimation recommend?
  6. Tossedman
    Pretty sure that the blades are for carpet cutters. They only have a bevel on one side.

    Looks fantastic! Would a bit of teak stain and a few coats of glossy, polished varnish be appropriate? Cheers, Todd
  8. Tossedman
    So good! Are you laser engraving the details on the pillars? Cheers, Todd

    I've pulled up a chair and I am enjoying watching your build. Carry on with the good work sir!
  10. Tossedman
    Really good for never having done it before. Looks quite realistic. Now that you have brickwork figured out, you can get a start on a scale Double Rope House as you build a scale shipyard to go with your model. It's only 1135 feet long. 😉

    Looks great1 Keep tinkering, you'll get it scienced out soon enough. Does it have a built in method of clamping it to the bench? Might be something to add to your design. Shouldn't be too hard to add. Looking forward to how this turns out.
  12. Tossedman
    As do I. Great tools.
  13. Tossedman
    Nicely done! Good to see that I'm not the only one to park a project for a bit. You're ahead of me though, mine's still in the box.
  14. Tossedman
    That's cool! We'll have to look out for that movie when it comes out. Have fun with it. Cheers, Todd
  15. Tossedman
    So good! I'm in awe of the craftsmanship on this site.
  16. Tossedman
    Very clear instructions! Thank you sir!

    It's fascinating to watch the evolution of this ship model. Looking forward to seeing what's next.
  18. Tossedman
    It's lovely to see this ship take shape and learn a bit about the thought that goes into the design. Great work Chuck. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Todd

    Looks great Rick! Looks like your next project is under way as well. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Todd

    I stumbled across this video on YouTube this evening. Quite interesting.
  21. Tossedman
    Great work Rick! I'm enjoying following along.
  22. Tossedman
    Good thinking! This is really coming along. Well done sir.
  23. Tossedman
    Well done sir! I've enjoyed following along.
  24. Tossedman
    Cool! I love how modern technology seamlessly compliments such an old way of building things. Looks great. Looking forward to seeing the resin cast. Is the reason for the resin cast to use a different colour resin? Is the quality any different from the 3D resin print? Cheers, Todd

    Brilliant!

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.
