    Thanks all, Mark, may take a little longer than a few days on the workshop

    Nice to see your planking well under way Mark, I can't wait to get in the workshop, but I have to build one first, damn. Ben

    Both Pegasus and Confederacy arrived at the new home without damage, Phew! Movers did a great job of the packing. Now to start building a new workshop. Ben

    Hope to see and meet lots of people at next months NRG conference in Mystic CT. Ben

    Well all modeling is on a total hold while we move house, both Pegasus and Confederacy are boxed up and I hope they survive the move. Then of course a new workshop needs to be made so I doubt any progress on anything until the end of the year. I will be back Ben

    Nice to see you around again Chris, I feel your pain, we are moving house at the moment, both Pegasus and my Confed are boxed up, hope they survive the trip and time in storage while we get into our new house. Your Confed is still a beauty! Ben

    That certainly is an exquisite carving. Ben

    So managed to get a couple of hours in the workshop on the holiday weekend, working on the framing at the stern, I have tried to keep the sizing and spacing of the timbers as close to the layout shown on the Cygnet DOF plan but with the positioning of the port from the Pegasus plan. ben

    Hey Greg - I'm not so sure about that, my mother always said watch out for the quiet ones! Chris - thanks, maybe I'll try carving on the next model but when you can get somebody of David's talent to make what you see here, well what do I say. Martin - see comment to Greg above. Ben

    So very busy life has me out of the workshop at the moment, but I did receive the figurehead carving I commisioned from David Antscherl yesterday - As with any of his work it is simply outstanding to say the least. Thank you David for accepting the commision. ben

    Just catching up on your Confed Vic, I'm still around but working on a full scratch built POF at the moment so my Confed is on the blocks for a while. Ben

    Always good to have a plan before you start throwing wood at her and hoping for the best, I have learned this Very much on my own Pegasus build. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your progress. Ben

    Superb. Ben

    Gaetan So you had issues with the dye bleeding into other areas, I was thinking of using fiebigs dye when the time comes, but you have made me think now. Ben
  19. Trussben
    Sweet Chris, post some more pics when you get that workshop setup. Ben
  20. Trussben
    Thanks Rusty, Mark and Grant for looking in. Ben

    Here is a shot from above for Druxey showing better the run of the floor fillers. Ben
  22. Trussben
    Here are all 5 pieces of the keelson scarphed together and installed. They were also bolted down through every floor timber with 1 1/4" "bamboo" bolts. Now the Stemson needs to be made. Ben
  23. Trussben
    Thanks Druxey, I have also started making up the keelson parts, lots of scarph joints! Ben
  24. Trussben
    Could you elaborate a little please Druxey. Ben
  25. Trussben
    Thanks for all the likes. Patterns for the remaining framing have been made to help with this area, they had to be juxtaposed in ACAD as the DOF plan is from Cygnet and doesn't exactly match the Pegasus plan or the TFFM Mylar.

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.
