    Hey Ron, Thats the view from the top of Mt Evans, CO. Elevation 14’130ft and the highest place in NA that you can drive to, Breathtaking - Litterally.

    Great Vacation, any guesses where?

    Hey Jeff, you got a build at the moment? Or is Naiad in the distance?

    It’s called a frame reveal, used to simulate what the real ships framing would look like when building a POB model.

    Another belt of planking has been completed but Ive yet to even rough sand it so pardon the messy look, 2 more to go but vacation week comes first.

    Nice progress.

    Hey Ron, I just spotted your new build log, very nice subject you chose. I was thinking about building her after Pegasus but I changed my mind and decided on something french for a change. I will watch this log with interest and your doing great so far.

    Hey Jeff, Great to see you still around, Holly is great that I got off you, wish I could get some more of that really pink Swiss pear though, last piece of pear I bought is very nice with straight grain, but it’s not pink at all.

    Nice Grant.

    Hi and Thanks everyone, JJ - Lower hull planking is in Holly.
  11. Trussben
    Seems like forever since I had any modelling time available for the Winnie or Pegasus due to work and another more pressing project, but I pushed myself to start the lower planking up again, even if I can install a strake on each side a week it is at least some progress. Here is the first belt on both sides completed now and you can begin to see the frame window taking shape. Hopefully it wont be another 10 months before the next update.

    Beautiful Stove Chuck.

    Hey Chuck, Yeh, I plan to start modelling again this fall, Ive been so busy with work and other projects ( TR6 restoration ) that both Pegasus and Winnie have been covered up for a long time. Maybe I will find some time during the summer to get the Winnie hull planking completed.
  14. Trussben
    Wow Chuck, you are making great progress on this beautiful model.

    Look at the frames from the side, OUTSIDE of the building jig through the windows, the tapering will then make sense. The tapering of those pieces makes it flow correctly with the run of the planks. Contemporary POF models when faired do look like this from the ones I’ve seen, I assume it didn’t matter on real ships as who would care. Maybe one of the gurus will shed some light.

    Beautiful

    Hey Greg, Very generous of you two, hopefully it will get more people to build a fully framed Swan, but good for people to know that the plans were based by David on Atalanta.
  23. Trussben
    Beautiful Work.
  24. Trussben
    Thanks J - it’s a BobsCNC EVO4 and yes you have to assemble it which takes a few days to do it right.

    I’m still working on the upper deck framing but I need to start thinking about the forecastle and Quarter deck beams and hooks, so using a new tool in the workshop that I have been learning, I cut all the beams out of some pear stock.

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.
