    Very nice Grant, as you said - take your time glueing the frames and triple check positions and your gunport heights as you go. Look forward to seeing more Ben

    Hey Al, glad you managed to figure out how to upload photos, just email me again if you run into further issues. Looks like your planking is well underway, congrats. Ben

    Ha, nice to see you deviate from the norm and start using that lathe, to great effect I may add, those gauges look great. Ben

    Excellent Augie, Will you be installing Carlings and Ledges as well? Ben

    Hey Druxey, At the moment I am just laying in store and I havent totally decided yet, as you know I have been working in CAD on my own plans of Indefatigable but they are still a long way from completion, Maybe a different Frigate before tackling the Indy. Sorry Remco ben

    Now here is some awesome boxwood for my next build!

    Thanks everyone and the likes. The 7 frames to go are only the square frames remaining, there is still a lot of work around the stern framing to be done and then all of the fairing and clean up work before the milestone is passed. Greg - I still don't have a finalized idea of how much planking will be done on exterior, I can say for certain that I won't be covering up much of the framing that I have worked so long to make, but still undecided. Ben

    So some more framing has been installed, 7 frames left. Ben

    Hey Aldo, Nice to see you back again and thanks for looking in at Pegasus. Ben
  17. Trussben
    Great to hear that you are back Aldo! Keep your chin up and carry on the excellent work on Triton. Ben

    Looks like you have found a method for Chock making and fitting that works well for you. It took me a couple of different ways before I found one that I was comfortable with and gave good results. Looking really good Grant. Ben

    Excellent work Pat. Ben

    Great work Augie. Ben

    Received a copy of this beautiful book as a Christmas present from the Admiral, spent a few days reading and my compliments to David for yet another fine read. As said before it doesn't reitterate TFFM but it does build on and give more info and insights on building RN ships of that era, especially interesting is a breakdown of building quarter galleries which is an art of itself. I have placed on the bookshelf right next to my copies of TFFM. Wish mine was signed by the author as well. Ben

    Merry Christmas to all MSW. Ben

    I love my Dewalt 788, very low vibration, large 20" table and I use Flying Dutchman Ultra reverse blades. Ben

    Hey AP, I don't have a copy of SR, but I can recommend Allan Yeslinskys book available from Seawatch that has both Steel and SR comparison data. In some places you will find data missing in either or even both, and many times there are differences but it is still the best reference work that I have that includes both sets of data. Ben
  25. Trussben
    Really nice Augie, like her teeth! Ben

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.
