    The Unicorn makes into a real beauty. How I missed this log this long is sad. You are doing a great job. If you want there a couple of books that should interest you and give you some insight on your build. They are The First Frigate by Robert Gardener & The Heavy Frigate by Robert Gardener. David B

    How much did they set you back? David B

    Grant, I have seen this beauty at several runs and at Manitowoc several times. It makes up into a very nice and classy beauty. The hard part I was told was doing the R.C. hardware and fitting properly. I think a will join the chair setters in the audience. Remember have fun. David B

    That is like I feel when I get out of bed every day.

    Okay Danny where do you keep the trained spiders who are doing that rigging. I would have gone bonkers by now. Great job. David B

    A real nice set up Toni. AS For the paste I have always had trouble with it eating the brass when I take a torch to it. David B

    Nice job on your hoops. They look great. David B

    They have upgraded their software considerably. I am able to scan them in with my phone. The reason for using both phone and laptop is that there are a couple of used book stores that I used to frequent and I would drop by and take a look at what they had. This way no fuss. At 150 books my library is getting extensive and expensive. David B

    We had a modeler in our club who built a model and put it in a case in his living room. The only way it wil ever get out is by either widening the door or taking out his window. David B

    The reason I put it on my phone is that way I do not have to type out a list and waste paper and ink those cartridges are pricey. I just pull out my phone and take a look. David B

    Sorry for the typos I was using a tablet at the time and using my big fingers is not easy. Should be flemish and grapnel. David B

    I prefer Tolkein over cleaning any day. David B

    Captain Steve, you are coming along nicely, the trick you used for your Fleishman coil was pretty good. The workmanship for your grape was outstanding. How were you able to see what you were doing without getting a headache? David B

    Glue

    dgbot replied to galo's topic in Card and Paper Models

    Ordinary PVA is what I use most of the time. Just remember it has moisture and might wrinkle the paper. David B

    I have gone through your log. This is a different framing system that I have ever seen. If you do not mind I will be in the audience with a pair of binoculars. David B

    Piet, now all you have to do is set some traps and bring in some very tasty morsels. That is one nice lobster smack. David B

    Kurt, I was at those meetings when you showed those cannons. I thought they were blackened not painted. Badger is good stuff, David B

    This sounds like an interesting build. Keep notes and then submit a paper to the NRG for their Journal. I am going to pull up a chair. Doing background research has always intrigued me. David B

    Another poor soul being seduced to S.I,B. Have a couple of swigs first to empty the bottle. David B

    Nicely done. I have learned much from your log. It will be a must see for anyone building the Vic. I am glad you had fun and enjoyment building it. David B
  22. dgbot
    Patrick I am in awe at the level of detail that you are able to achieve at this scale. David B

    One row of ratings one bottle of beer. Nice way to do the job. David B

    Marvelous tutorial Daniel. I have seen sails done up before but I am now seeing how it is done so it looks proper. My attempts over the years were never that good. Your entire log is a keeper A permanent learner. David B

    Gaetan, what kind of wood did you use for your carvings? 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.
