    Hi Patrick, Sorry to hear about the bad plans, but now you know the problem I have full confidence you will quickly be over the issue. It's become one of my Mantras " check the bloody plans " but " don't assume the plans are accurate ". Ben

    Hey Augie, don't forget to add the scupper ports to that outer hull. Enjoy the nicer weather. Ben

    Rusty, it looks great and ready for some skin on those bones. Ben
  4. Trussben
    Yep, gotta agree you've done a masterful job there. Ben

    Ah, the smell of sawdust in your shop must of been intoxicating! Ben
  6. Trussben
    That's a lot of nice progress ED, I'll be interested to see what that finish looks like after. Ben

    Hey Rusty, not sure about a great touch, I do have an great Mentor though just like you do! Your Winnie is coming along beautifully. Thanks Patrick for always stopping by and your positive comments. Thanks to everybody else for the likes. No more picture updates until the first seven aft cant frames are completed, I have them all cut out and assembling this week. Ben

    Thanks Grant, Yeh, it seems every frame I add I see a little more of her emerge, and your right that this little sloop sure does have nice lines, can't wait to get all the aft cants in place and fair them up. Ben
  9. Trussben
    She really does look great Grant, and I guess the bittersweet feeling of completion is not far away. Any ideas on your next project? Inquiring minds and all that! Ben

    Thanks Andy, yeh this is the fun part tangeling with pesky cant frames that don't want to line up, had to remove one side of frame 3 as it decided to move position while the glue dried!! Here is aft cant pair #4 installed, just need to install the temp spacers. Ben
  11. Trussben
    Wow Alex, Those bulkhead panels and doors are exquisite, I love seeing your updates. Ben
  12. Trussben
    Hi Bob, Your doing a great job over there, I really like your QD framing, looks very clean and equal spacing. Ben
  13. Trussben
    Very very nicely done Remco, it does look like a tricky area to get right first time out. Ben
  14. Trussben
    Aft Cant frames 2 & 3 installed using some scrap basswood sized and shaped to fit as temporary spacers at the frame tops. Ben
  15. Trussben
    Wow Danny, that really is beautiful work on the cap rail and the contrast in woods is awesome. I'll remember this in a few years I hope. Ben
  16. Trussben
    Sweeeeet Rusty! Coming along fast. ben
  17. Trussben
    Damn Mobbsie, did you buy the entire catalog? Congrats on the new tools! I'm sure you will put them to good use. Just wanted to say that the snaking is awesome as well. Ben

    You Lucky Devil Mark, I felt the same when my Swiss Pear turned up from Jeff, happy wood dance and had to keep going downstairs to the workshop to look at it, I hope he outlives me as I have many more purchases to make from him! Lol. So where is the sawdust we are all waiting for?? Ben
  19. Trussben
    She looks beautiful Albert, really well done and congrats on reaching that milestone. I hope my Pegasus looks that good when I get there. Ben

    Glad to see you back Paul. Ben
  21. Trussben
    And one side of the second aft cant frame being adjusted for fit. Ben
  22. Trussben
    Well here is the first aft cant frame installed. Ben
  23. Trussben
    Hey Keith, The Byrnes tools are engineered to last, no doubt about that. I think I use the disc sander the most of all my power tools, maybe even more than my scroll saw. Ben
  24. Trussben
    Thanks Rusty, Mark, Grant and everybody for the likes. Mark - I know the picture looks silly, sometimes I feel like destroying my phone but I wouldn't want to damage my precious Byrnes Sander. Anyway - the stern transoms have all been fitted and pinned in place successfully! I had left the ends of the transoms slightly overlength so I could fair them back to suit the aft cant frame which is what I'm doing now and I have started cutting aft cants 1 thru 7 out of 9" stock. Ben

    Hey Rusty, Will you be going to the NRG conference in Oct? I plan on going for the first time as it's reasonably near to me in St Louis. 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.
