    You must have trained some carpenter ants to o that work. My fingers would be to big to pull it off. David B

    The combo color difference between the hull and the cockpit leaves a distinct impression of style. Doing that kind of prework on the mast is time consuming but best done early. From the beginning you have shown that you have thought this build though did you make an instruction book on building it? David B

    An accident happened at our plant in Des Moines. A worker lost his fingers while using there tablesaw. The guy in hand cut and I are both wondering how this happened. As a result our saws are locked up and handcut ids the only one allowed to use it. Since that is no longer my position I will have to do my milling elsewhere or get someone to do it for me. David B

    Mobbsie I am coming in late and am sorry I did not catch this log earlier. Your framing is great especially the way you did it. That is why I do solid hulls. To me it will always be an arcane art form to get right. The deck beams and the rest of your work is outstanding you are really kicking ***. Keep it up and I will pull up a chair in the back if that is okay with you. David B

    I call that respect for the danger and power they have and the damage they can do if you are not paying attention. David B

    Ingenious way ti do the job. You are correct that in soldering the heat is important. I have a 40W weller and it dos not alway get the heat I need but I am to clumsy to use a gun. David B

    Job well done and the case goes well. The model. David B

    Nils that one stringer at the stern looks a little out of place Like it warped or curved in the wrong direction. Is that the way it is supposed to be and am I blowing smoke. But considering your skill I probably I am wrong. David B

    The amount of detail in such a small model is outstanding. 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.
