    Hi Chris, what size of ships wheels did you buy from Cornwall models boats? They have 2 sizes available. And your right about expensive! Ben

    Nice to see those pics again Chris, that's the area I'm working on now and I just completed the stern decorations, not as good as yours though! Ben

    Hi Chris and nice to see your other model. I look forward to seeing more of her and I'm glad you are getting a little modeling time in between changing diapers. Ben

    Nice work Rusty, Funny how you remember things from the Confed build, I'm not installing my trim until much later on as I don't want to waste my boxwood. Ben

    Hi Sjors, don't worry as I don't know what I'm doing half the time! I look forward to seeing Anja's dark side career begin, believe me it is a steep learning curve but its extremely enjoyable, I'm sure you will get hooked while you watch her build Hannah, what wood did she decide to build it with? Ben

    Nice to see some build updates Andy, your log does seem to have the tendency of wandering off the beaten path, but it normally comes back. Enjoy the lake mate. Ben

    It was a bit strange to be looking at a swamp donkey again, I had enough of those meetings when I lived in northern maine. Keep going Augie. Ben

    Hi JP, The sheer of the wales is a little off but damn it looks good to me!! I think you may have a munity in your hands if you paint the hull, I really think you should wait to make that decision until you get the bulwark planking on, you may change your mind when you see it in its overall state, just a thought.

    First pic shows all frames made except 3rd. Second shows how I made the 3rd top timber which has the big cast. third shows frame treenailing completed. four and five show dead flat frames being raised. I will maybe get some more done this weekend but I want to switch back onto the Confederacy for a little while. ben

    All frames are completed and treenailed, I will post some pictures tomorrow after I get the dead flat frames raised. I am going to use boxwood scrap to use as spacers between the tops of the frames and I will also treenail the frame into the rising wood for more strength. Ben

    Nice contrast. Ben
  22. Trussben
    Yep, nice start to another beautiful Syren Thomas. Keep the updates coming. Ben
  23. Trussben
    He who has no name will be waiting I'm sure! Ben

    Ron, I actually like the look, but as you already said, as long as you learn something from every mistake you make in this hobby, then whatever happens its worth it. 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.
