Well this is a happy day! I was just informed by my boss that we will be receiving a bonus cheque this year!! :-)) I asked the admiral of the house and she said I can spend it how I wish!! I told her that Byrnes model machines was gonna take the lot to upgrade my workshop with some fine tools to help start my darkside career, she smiled sideways and said " whatever you need ". Ahhh! Love works in soooo many ways! Ben

Augie, I feel that we deserve some sort of update to keep us away from these diversions that plague your build log! I don't care what it is, even a pic of you snow shoveling will do :-) Ben

Now Now Rusty, Dont set him off!! Remember Im doing 3 builds the same as you! Sjors - I think Rusty would have more experience than I on tying ratlines anyway - send the Mirage to him for a few weeks, he can try 4 builds at once. ben

Beautiful Rusty - your work in the rigging must be giving Augie something to aspire to. ben -
Well I just picked up a nice piece of model grade ply - 12 x 12 x 1/2" for my building board, now I need to make the square for raising the frames and get the keel drilled, tapped and mounted to the board - maybe in a few weeks I will be able to show some progress. ben

Trussben replied to Maury S's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Got to agree with the others Maury, treenails look great the way you have done them. What would you say the difference is in the matt finish you used and the Minwax satin WOP? I use the Minwax on my Confed and I think its a nice finish - not shiny etc.... ben- 324 replies

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.
