    They are as blind as a bat. Your model deserves a gold Chuck, bring it to Manitowoc next year if you can make the trip.

    I go by memory. From strips and sheets that were never used to l stuff that needs milled down. I also have odd shaped boxes for small stuff. You never know when that 3X2X1/8 piece of wood will come in handy. David B

    Not bad but if you take of a few of the lower planks on start taping near the bow your runs will be better and more accurate. There a several books on planking. I found a good one by Donald Dressel titled Planking Techniques for Model Ship Builders. David B

    Nice waterline. What kind of paint did you use. David B

    Nothing wrong in stepping out to look at flowers or butterflys. Nice pics. Your model is looking good. Have you experimented with Minwax Driftwood? It has a kind of bleached or washed out look. And congrats on your surprise. You will be very happy with it. 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.
