    Lovely craftsmanship Karl. David B

    A lot of patience and a steady hand went into those joints. I wish my hands were that steady. David B

    Happy Birthday Matey, David B

    Just be sure you have deep pockets. But it would be great to sail her on Lake Michigan in the summer and catching the breeze. David B

    Your stove is a stand alone model in itself. Are you going to blacken it like cast iron or leave it the color it is? David B

    Nice paint job. If it is a bit glossy leave it alone. Since you are going the yacht route that is the way it should look. Beautiful work. David B

    Your oars came out great. David B

    That is the scale I have worked in for years Bob. Saves space so you can get the model in the car. David B

    Someone needs serious therapy David B

    Looking good Charlie David B

    I have seen a few models of those done and have found them attractive with fine lines. Where did you get the plans? David B

    Fantastic workmanship Ed. What brand of paint are you using? David B

    Brian I echo all the above. I just cannot believe that the bowsprit is so long on this vessel. The strain on the masts and stays must have been incredible. David B

    Down boy Down you must have some self control. David B

    Nice work around "cheat" I will have to remember that trick. David B

    I hate to say this Siggi but I might be calling the guys with the white coats. You are doing a fabulous job. David B

    Nicely done Matt. Your rigging came out great. David B
  18. dgbot
    Fantastic! You have done the R.C. justice. Your carving was superb along with the rest of the model. David B

    Coming along nicely Mark. I can sympathize about rigging. To many lines and blocks and where they go is a brain buster. David B

    The Royal Caroline makes into a pretty model. I think you will have fun with the carving. I think I have a photo of her somewhere and will post it if I can find it. David B

    Gorilla Glue foams up and expands to much. It is messy to work with on the parts we are gluing up. Titebond and Elmers are better suited as they are easy to clean and I think a better joint. David B

    I have learned quite a bit about working with card stock, thank you for posting your progress Clare. I have been looking at Shipyard and their kits as well as HMV. I have been having fun with my Maine. You have really made my day. David B

    A very tempting deal. I am a sucker for a good book. But I am not able to build it in the place I am in. Besides I have enough on my plate already. How about a review of them when you get them. And I think you will make a fantastic model of her. David B
  24. dgbot
    I would advise you not to use Gorilla Glue and go with a PVA glue. Titebond or Elmers. The stuff may be useful for furniture but not for models. David B

    Glad to see your posts again and enjoy looking at your work again. 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.
