    Rest in Peace Bob.
  2. Trussben
    The colors will get muted with time Rusty as you know, she looks great.
  3. Trussben
    Bit more tweaking done to stern layout.
  4. Trussben
    Looks great Chuck, makes sense to only use an as such simple scarph joint instead of full chocks for a much easier frame construction, will make the angled cant frames much easier as you won’t need angled chocks either.
  5. Trussben
    Thanks Everybody for the comments and likes. I will give that a go and see what it lt looks like David.
  6. Trussben
    I finished blending in the Rudderhead framing to the stern and then started mocking up the upper counter and stern light layout - still needs tweaking.
  7. Trussben
    Framing around the rudderhead underway, you can see the 3 pieces roughly shaped and trial fitted here, the hole for the rudders shape will be finished after they are installed. Druxey - no CNC parts to be found here! All hand made.
  8. Trussben
    My other thought would be to laminate two or three thinner pieces and make a form to bend them around, at least that's what I will try if using these proves too fragile.
  9. Trussben
    Looking good Chuck!
  10. Trussben
    It’s just another Tool David! Here is the very difficult to make by hand Taffrail capping piece, 1.5” thick by 8” deep, very very delicate pieces!
  11. Trussben
    Started design work on the Taffrail, playing around with the CNC to see what details I can easily incorporate, here you can see two prototypes using the TFFM dimensions for thickness”s and the shape from my Pegasus draft.
  12. Trussben
    Waterways installed.
  13. Trussben
    Try some fine black thread and a dab of white glue, that’s what I mostly used.
  14. Trussben
    Great to see you start the new model Chuck, I’m sure it will be a fantastic project and I look forward to building another of your designs.
  15. Trussben
    Superb details - now you go back to planking for a while.
  16. Trussben
    Nice to see you progress Chris.
  17. Trussben
    Thanks Chuck.
  18. Trussben
    I started to get all the beams cleaned up and sized for each position.
  19. Trussben
    Yep - nice to see somebody else lining off.
  20. Trussben
    Good luck Bob.
  21. Trussben
    Thanks Rusty!! I’m a long way behind you other guys but I usually get a little more modeling time during the winter.
  22. Trussben
    Headworks on both side now completed, just need to make the gunport lids to finish Chapter5.
  23. Trussben
    Nice progress Chris!
  24. Trussben
    Congratulation Chuck, as others have said - she’s a masterpiece!
  25. Trussben
    Really Nice.

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.
