    I have done this in the past and then used a batten to get visual of the line. The bulkheads are usually close enough to get a good result. David B

    Job well Ed. But I echo the rest that it would have been safer using a saw with a jig. Open blades like that scare the day lights out of me. David B

    Congratulation Brian. Your AVS really deserved it. I have been lucky to attend some IPMS shows in Chicago and the level of quality can be pretty high. I saw a model of the IJN Fuso done in card and was blown away. I met the builder and shamelessly tried to get him to come to a club meeting. Needless to say your AVS out shined the rest of the pack. Pat yourself on the back. Your model is beautiful and deserved it. To bad you do not live close so I can see it shine at the show in Manitowoc WI David B wi

    You are coming along fine Tony. Using Maple for your frames was a smart move. A bit of advice for your next model. When gluing futocks together they were connected with a shaped piece called a chock. This adds more strength to the joint. You are doing a great job. David B

    Alexander Kent is good. I have read almost all of his books. A great way to learn how the British navy operated in the past. David B

    Every time I look in I learn something new. Making those badges was really thing outside the box. David B

    Having enough tools is great but the main problem is do you have room for everything. David B
  23. dgbot
    I echo the above sentiments Ken. You have done a wonderful job. Your model of the Niagara is first rate. You have done her justice. 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.
