    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.

    Well hi again, back from Vacation in England and now ready to get back to finishing the framing of the Echo, just the gun and sweep ports sills and lintels to be installed, fair everything and install keelson, week or two I'm guessing. I have also started my initial research on my next scratch build. Ben

    Sorry to hear about all the issues Bob, hope it gets resolved quickly. Ben

    I vote for the OSS with tilt as well, I would certainly buy one as soon as it came available. ben

    Thanks Mark. Nice to see some guidelines being put in place, but always remember buyer beware of ANYTHiNG on the Internet, use PayPal or some other type of protected purchase system. Just my 2 cents. Ben

    Not to forget fairing that big beastie! Ben

    Oh no mark! Augie has the joy of all the stern framing and gunport sills and lintels as well as sweep port backing, Ah I remember it so well! Ben

    Chuck ain't Admiral of the fleet for nothing!

    Doing that planking takes me back a bit, seems forever ago! Only a year though. Ben

    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

    Glad to hear your home and cutting wood, look forward to seeing more rigging. Ben

    Coming along nicely Bob. Ben

    Looks exactly how it should be at this point. Ben

    Augie - add as many coats of paint or not as you wish, it's your build and I'm certain it will look awesome. Ben

    Wow, really nice work Allan, I think I will hang around and watch more. ben
  18. Trussben
    Great that you are starting another project ED, I shall watch with great interest. ben

    Try and stay calm Andy, your turn will come! Ben

    Hi Augie and congrats on the 40th. It's good to see that you are going to keep the former clamped to make sure you don't get any warpage, it's such a long piece of ply that it has a tendency to do just that! I remember Chris had issues with that. I didn't take my Confed out of the clamp until all the gunport and sweep port framing was complete, pretty solid by then! Take your time getting all the bulkheads perfectly square and perpendicular, your gunport framing will be wrong if they are not perfect. Look forward to seeing that point. Ben

    Very nice start Albert, I will be watching with great interest in your build of Niaad. Ben
  23. Trussben
    I agree with the others Aldo, nice work on your hull planking. Ben
  24. Trussben
    Well done Bob on the completion of a very fine model, please post a pic when she is put in her final resting place. Ben

    Hey Bob, will be watching with great interest to your build of the "new" Essex kit and all your mods. 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.
