    Hi. I found this while looking into designs and methods of thickness sanding. http://www.micromark.com/microlux-drum-thickness-sander,8599.html I know it's not up to Jim's standards but... Has anyone used one ? The design look's good. Bolted down to a bench for sure. Any comments... Regards Antony.

    Hello Christian. Not are you very skilled with wood But you are also skilled with CAD drawing. This is turning out to be a very interesting project. The resurch takes a long time and then putting that into CAD then constructing the model. WOW Been following this from the start and it gets more and more interesting the further you progress. Regards Antony.

    Hi. Welcome to MSW. Nice to have you aboard. The alert is quite a nice ship to model. Not a lot on the alert on the forum at the moment. But I'me sure you have already looked. More information on your build please. I.E. timbers you are planning to use. Fulley framed. Planking Curvel or Clinker. Looking forward to your build. Regards Antony.

    Hi I think I have got this right.. 4 is the thickness of your rudder. 15 is the length over all .pivot to end of strap 2.5 is the height of the brass. I.E. This is made from a strip of brass 2.5 mm Please correct me if I am wrong. Regards Antony.

    Hi. This is why I like this forum soooo much. Little details get questioned and then debated with outcomes that even the designer would be proud of It just goes to show the extent of knowledge that modellers have. Regards Antony.

    Hi. Having read through this topic.. 3D printing in my humble opinion will not replace wooden modeling. There is nothing able to duplicate timber/wood. The smell,the dust, the feel and the cleaning up. On the same subject.. Haw many model ship builders are willing to spend the many many hours studying a CAD program and then producing the image to use in the 3D printer. I had a go with Solidworks. To deep for me at my age. A service that could have cannon's and various fitting that can be scaled to a custamer size would be very helpfull. Or files that could be used to produce fittings. That's enough of my ranting.. For today. Regards Antony.

    Hi Christian. There is nothing wrong in going slow. Wait till you my age.. You have no choice I have done some drawings of the Alert using the anatomy in Illustrater format that can be exported to PDF .. Did you want me to post them here. Might be of some use to you. Have done the Deck, side view and a few small details. Regards Antony.

    Hi Chuck. Making very good progress and the stern looks spot on. I have a few issues with the stern on my cutter. I vote for natural. Never liked paint on my models. Regards Antony.

    Hi Mark. It will be nice to have a Druid cross section on the forum. Will follow this with interest. So much detail can be added to a cross section that is not visible with full length builds. Regards Antony.

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.
