    Well done now comes the fun part. Moving your model without breaking all that work. I forgot how many bowsprits I have had to replace over the years. Did you dip the chains or airbrushed them? David B

    You have done a tremendous job. Your model does the Endeavor justice as a great racer as well as a fine yacht. David B

    Well done Jesse. I have always wanted to try an SIB but have never got the courage to try it. At Manitowoc John Fox III gave a seminar on making them and he made it look easy. David B

    I made the moldings for my Latham using a single edge razor and shaping the contour with a cutoff wheel. I used Apple for the molding. David B

    We used Tolulene at work for cleaning and preparing material for glue up. We used it near the docks for ventilation the fumes are dangerous and the stuff can be lethal if not wearing safety goggles and gloves. I lost a pair of glasses when a drop splattered on me. Remember safety first. We stopped using the stuff do to the problems using it safely. 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.
