    Your stairs came out great Rich to bad there isn't a video showing how you made them I would make a fortune selling popcorn to everyone who watched. Nicely done. David B

    Shaz the easiest way to do a waterline is to make a fixture that will hold a pencil or marker at a specific height. I made one a couple of years go and found it useful for waterlines. Once the height is set you level the hull and move it around the fixture. This is the easiest way I know on how to get straight waterline. David B

    Looking good Toni, question I have never worked with Mica but knew where to get and was wondering how it is shaped and glued. At Manitowoc I have seen it used many times. David B

    Jazzchip, John is correct just post what you are doing and ask for help and advice. We are like a community of ship modelers in different materials and at different skill levels and we always like to share that knowledge with others. David B

    You are probably right Charlie the problem is finding the plans and photos if they exist. Those dreadnoughts did have a weird look. David B

    How did you keep such a straight and even line? David B

    Years ago at one of the clubs we had a member bring an Endeavour and asked the same question. We told him that it was what he thought would look better. He did a wonderful job of planking and when he was done with the finish the planking was fantastic and beautiful. David B

    Nice and neat fine joinery. David B

    Michael has a good idea. I have seen the Endeavour with a glass smooth hull sitting alongside the Shamrock V and the difference was striking and a lot of discussion about racing yachts and their construction. I wish I had a photo to show but my batteries died on me. David B

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.
