    More work on the aft decorations.

    I’m certainly interested if you go ahead with this project in POF @ 1:48, with a full rig.
  3. Trussben
    I Like the sound of a “Passaro” designed full POF kit, that really would be awesome!

    Nice progress, I found that when I lined off my hull planking that I needed to do more fairing in certain areas, that’s the big “tell” of if it’s faired correctly. Ben

    I am currently selling a set of Boxwood CNC carvings from Jack if anybody is interested.
  7. Trussben
    Send me a PM if interested.

    Hi I have a brand new in original packaging set of Boxwood CNC carvings as seen here for sale, I had totally forgotten that I had purchased them from Jack and found them in a drawer while searching for something else, and have already used the resin parts instead, So I offer them up for sale for the original price of $320 with free shipping inside of the USA. If worldwide shipping is needed myself and the purchaser can come to an agreement on what service and cost there would be for that.

    So working on the Transom details now, it was painted cerulean blue, the ports red and the timber heads flat black. The laser etched transom moldings were cleaned of char and installed and then I installed the Counter moldings and the Frieze between them and started getting the lower counter ready for its frieze.

    Looking great Chuck.

    Thanks Grant.

    Both QGs were completed and the hull moldings and friezes were installed and now it’s time to pay attention to the stern details.
  13. Trussben
    Damn that looks fine Chuck.
  14. Trussben
    I would definatly put the Main wales in place first as this sets up where Everything else goes.

    Welcome Melissa, There are a few of us model builders in the capital region, enjoy your new hobby. Ben

    I look forward to watching your progress on the Echo, I started my dark side career out on exactly the same subject and it stood me in great stead. Ben
  17. Trussben
    That’s a very nice way to do the rails.

    Starboard QG all but completed, need to decide if I want the top of the roof color to match the frieze or the tiles. I decided to rip off the first set of upper moldings and make a slightly wider one with a different profile, it matches better than my first attempt I think. You may notice that my tiles slightly overhang that molding, not strictly like the contemporary model but I like how it looks. The drop was installed and fitted really well with only a little finessing. Now to finish up the Port side and then move onto installing the rest of the friezes and moldings. Ben

    I agree, PLEASE do not simplify this - it just takes a bit more care than a lot of people are used to taking - but that doesn't mean that a lot of us will not take that time to do it justice. Just for example - I spent a couple of months LEARNING how to properly line off my hull planking and I'm VERY happy that I did so as I know the result was better and I learned how to do something with more skill. Keep up the great work and keep the challenges coming! Ben
  20. Trussben
    Work ongoing on the QG’s when time permits.
  21. Trussben
    Wow - what a monster!
  22. Trussben
    Are you taking the pictures with an IPhone and posting them directly to the site? If so I had same issue - depends which way you hold phone to take picture, i had to edit the picture on my phone and flip it around and then save it again - it would then upload to MSW the way it was supposed to.
  23. Trussben
    Sorry Chuck, I'm back on the road working for a few week's now so very little progress will be happening.
  24. Trussben
    Planked the sub decks, I had thought about making the false main deck beams from my own Swiss pear to match the other structural parts, but when I saw how beautifully that Chucks laser cut parts fitted I decided to use them and stain to match the boxwood seeing as how those beams will almost be invisible.

    Thanks Dave, I decided to start the mockup of the QG window spacers and everything is looking pretty good so far.

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.
