That will make a big contrast if you leave the basswood planking natural, I like it! Ben

Augie, I agree with Chuck about the support timbers, leave em on as long as possible, as another use for them is when you glue down the false decks in 4 pieces its very difficult to clamp the middle down, using scrap pieces and the safety timbers gives you another place to clamp from, thats what I did and it worked great. ben

HMS Naiad 1797 by albert - FINISHED - 1/48

Sweet progress Albert. Ben -
Hi Chris, nice work on the headrails, I'm glad your getting time to build again, I just got back from European vaca and will be starting up again this week, seems forever since I touched anything! So you are taking a big leap right into the deep end with those 2 future projects but I'm sure you will do great, I just worry about the worlds supply of Swiss pear when you start that monster 1st rate :-) I too have started researching a future full 1:48 POF but I won't be starting that until all my other builds are finished, at least a year, but it will proberbly take twice that to do all the research.

HMS Euryalus by egen -

That jig for the JimSaw looks great, I wonder why Jim never thought of it, seems an easy adaptation of a zero clearance plate. Thanks for showing it Egan. Ben -
Now that was great to see how you made the chimney, thanks Danny, it was the old lightbulb going off in my head moment. 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.
