    Simple answer is Yes, but why would you want too. Ben

    Well Al, It looks like you have a build log now, please add plenty of pics of your build as you go, ask all the questions you like and I'm sure you will get lots of answers and help. ben

    Hi Al, Nice to see you have found your way to MSW. As Gunther says, and he's building AVS at the moment, please start a build log so we can all enjoy you progress. I look forward to seeing more. Ben MODS - this proberbly needs moving to the welcome section.

    Thanks all! Mark - the fridge is too heavy to move due to it being the beer storage unit!

    Got to agree, very nice tuck. Ben

    Very Very nice Rusty, looks like you will manage without drops or steelers, that's a feat in of itself! Ben

    Thanks for all the likes and generous comments. Slow going at my dockyard but another four frame pairs have been installed along with another gunport and then rough internal fairing, then the admiral decreed that the workshop needed cleaning. Ben

    Same As Druxey, but I use a Worksharp3000 sharpener rig and get great results on my chisels, the scary sharp type Ben

    Looks very nice. Ben

    Nice to see you back at it Alan, don't worry about having to remake a frame or two, that's par for the course. Ben

    Greg - everybody on MSW knows it's there! Lol. Beautiful Remco. Ben

    No 20 coats on the cannons Augie!! I pickled them in vinegar! If you use CA for the trunnions DO NOT pickle in Acetone, it is a CA debonder, as I found out. As for paint, I used tamyia primer in the spray can which gave a great even and light coat without hiding details, then as recommended by some scratch builders I tried the black automotive flat black from Testors and was very happy how they came out.

    Congrats on the new build Grant, some lovely looking wood there man. Ben

    Some great shots Gaetan, looks awesome. Ben

    You certainly sorted out the exposed frames, they look great now! Now a big warning!!! On that stern framing take it really slow, look at every build log you can find, and reread the instructions twenty times! I had MAJOR issues here! Angle of the stern for one that didn't show up until I tried to install the Quarter Galleries etc.... Honestly take your time here just like fairing the bulkheads for hull planking, if something is off in this framing then the stern won't come together just as it should. PM me, Augie, Chuck, Rusty or any other Confed builder for help and I'm sure we will all try and help you get this perfect. Ben

    You are still The master at painting Chuck!! Wish you would do a painting techniques at the next NRG conference, I'd travel just for that!! Ben
  21. Trussben
    Ha and damn it! I wish I had the chisel skills you do! Ben
  22. Trussben
    Very Impressive build, I look forward to seeing more. Ben
  23. Trussben
    Well there you go Toni, I opened my trap too quickly. As for the planking scheme, David stated in TFFM that the plan had been lost by NMM but it appears that they found it again as I ordered a copy and it arrived with no problem. Ben
  24. Trussben
    Now that just takes the cake, great stone work Gaetan. Ben
  25. Trussben
    She really is coming along Chuck! Your laser cutter looks like it had a work out with those bulkheads and fillers. Will continue to watch your development with interest. 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.
