    From what you have stared I think you are set. Leave the Gorilla Glue in the drawer and stick with white or wood glue depending on the application. My adevice on tools is get it what you need it. David B

    There is an old saying. "There are many ways to skin a cat. I have tried several methods but found this one the easiest in the long run. It also depends on the shape of the hull and the wood you are using. David B

    Hamilton look at Crown Lumber. The can mill what you need and they are spot on. The last time went to a NRG conference I won a grab bag of his wood. When I got back home I measured it and the dimensions were spot on. He does great work. http://www.crowntimberyard.com/ David B

    I am a user of acrylics for the same reason but the sources for decent paint are hard to get. Poly S was good before they were bought out and I like Modelflex by Badger but they have to be shipped. The Hobby Lobby in Waterloo has Vallejo and I think I will go that route once I get to painting again easier clean up no bad smells. Thanks for the info. David B

    I take the strip and mark out the shape and then use sandpaper and files to get the final shape. To me that is the easiest way to do the job. A knife comes in if the amount is a lot. David B

    Hamilton, I just came on to your log. Brings back memories of my America. You are doing a swell job on a bearcat kit. Laser cutting just does not work if the program or operator is not paying attention. I like the way you are double checking your work with the plans. Using basswood or limewood for the underplanking is a smart move. One of the things you can do is divide up the hull with battens. And one these are installed you can get a better look at the run of planking. Donald Dressel has an excellent book on planking that will spell it out better than I. Keep up the good work. David B

    No wonder you went through so many globes. You need the touch of a surgeon to keep from breaking them. I am partial to the Rouse Simmons. Nice miniature by the way. i will be sitting in and watching the show. And thanks Popeye for the video. David B

    What is the scale you are working in that is a small vessel. You are doing a fantastic job working on her. 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.
