    Here are the starboard side hawse timbers finally completed, they are V3.0, versions 1 and 2 didn't make the mark but were good for practice, I finally found a way that gives decent results so the port side shouldn't take too long, they are only partially faired inside and out and left a little oversized as a precaution. Working away all week so maybe get it done next weekend. Ben

    Hey Rusty, looks great but did you mistakenly use a strip of pear on the second strake of the wales? Looks a lot darker? Ben

    I also notice that the pics seem to show 4 runs of planking landing on the same bulkhead?? Ben

    Looks good from here Rusty! Is it an issue with the planking or the framing?? If your not happy you can always tear all the planking off and start again! Lol! Really is there that much difference between them?? Ben

    Looking REALLY good Mark, glad your having fun!! I'm not sure after learning to frame the right way up I could do it upside down! More power to ya! Ben

    Much thanks Mark for the illustrations! Ben

    Hi Alan, I feel your pain, I think I have redone parts of my Indy plans at least 3 times up to now, but it does make me much faster the second/third time around and I understand a lot more each time through. Steep learning curve with this stuff. Ben

    Some nice detective work there Joss, I wish I could find more paintings of the Indy to help with my research. Ben

    That's really nice work on the stern framing, as Greg says they have really good symmetry. Ben

    Nice to see your start of the Pegasus. Ben

    Hi Mike, I shall also follow along with your build. Ben

    Well Augie, you DID it and it came out great - well done mate! It's a fun little project on its own isn't it?? Now just get that deck planking down and you will of passed my Confed and then I can look to you and your log for advice when I finally get back to mine! ( just having too much fun with framing on Pegasus for that to happen any time soon but you never know, your work may spur me into action!) Ben

    Have a great bday mark. Ben

    Glad to hear your back around Patrick. Take it easy! Ben

    Nice to see you back Andy, and nice to see her in primer. ( tamiya primer is what I used to prime the metal parts on my Confed, gives a nice thin basecoat ) Ben

    Hey Rusty, I'm struggling here even if it doesn't look like it! Greg - good idea on testing out the hawse holes as well. Ben

    Another sweet looking boat Grant. Ben
  23. Trussben
    Damn fine looking guns there! Ben

    I continue to work on the Hawse timbers, but the pieces you see will end up in the scrap bin and be redone, I decided to just keep practicing with them so when I do make the real ones they should be much better. Hope to get it completed by next weekend. Ben

    Some great work Bob, you really have made a beautiful model but can I ask if you are going to rig her or stump masts?? 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.
