    Hi jason and very well done up to now, your motoring right along. I do have a question on what you are using for paint? the ME paint that was optional? looks like it was going on a bit thick, maybe try thinning it down but adding more coats, may give better results. ben

    I will wait for updates man.

    These things are bound to happen when you have a lot of rigging to do, love the fix! I think I have made more mistakes on the Confeds stern than you have made on your entire rigging :-) Ben

    Magnificant work Paul, I too remember the radar stations and how much detail you managed to get into them, The rangefinder pics were great as well - you are a talented machinest. Keep it coming. ben

    Sorry rusty for posting stuff on your log. Yves - Chuck is an extremely busy guy, he runs and looks after this site god bless him, he always goes out of his way to help anyone, we can ask and expect NO more from him!!! If HE chooses to do above and beyond, which he usually does, then great. But he is not a manufacturer! He maybe covers his costs but I doubt that as well. Please respect the work that he does designing the best kits on the market IMHO. Chuck - thank you, your a steely eyed missile man. Ben

    Hi, I will take some pics of the other castings and post them, If I remember right they were not as bad as the figurehead ( absolute crap ), but nowhere near as nice as the resin ones that Chuck did - wish he would make some more ( pretty please ) . ben

    Hi Floyd, Let me see this weekend if I can find the old external HDD that has all the photos of my previous builds, If I can find it I will post some pics on the forum, maybe in the gallery of them all. AL Swift, AL Scottish Maid, AL Harvey, AL San Juan Nempo. I do remember that I stayed pretty much with the plans though and hardly did any bashing to Harvey. ben

    I'm not kidding either!! Lol. :-)) Ben

    Nicely done Augie ( edward tweezerhands. ROFLMAO! ). Must be a real satisfiying feeling finishing the ratlines. So what are your plans for the next build? Any Ideas?? Confederacy maybe?? ben

    Nice work JP, glad to see that you are giving spiling a go! Is the problem plank trying to lift off on one edge? if so thats the common issue with edge bending that spiling will correct. look forward to more. ben

    Hi, I will also follow your longboat build, I stop and start on mine every now and then when I get time, I have just stepped the mast and bowsprit, rigging next :-). You can find my log as well as a couple if others on the site. Make sure to look at Chucks. Ben

    Hey Rusty, I seem to remember from 1.0 that you did your internal planking before adding the stern pieces, did you have a reason for doing it this way?? I'm at that point right now so I would like to know. Ben
  15. Trussben
    Very interesting Floyd, I built the Harvey several years ago and gave it to a friend, unfortunately he had a house fire and everything was lost. Your bash list seems quite comprehensive and I look forward to following your build. Ben

    Damn Remco, how the hell do you make such beautiful blocks, it's insane what you are capable of. One day in the far future I would love to be able to even scratch the surface of what you achieve every day. Ben
  17. Trussben
    Ahhhh Rusty, the Chris craft is back as well, thanks for showing this beautiful build again. Ben
  18. Trussben
    Nice model you have there downeaster, where in maine are you located? I used to live in millinocket until 2010! Ben
  19. Trussben
    C'mon sjors and give us some updates. Ben
  20. Trussben
    Glad you looked at it again JP, I think by adjusting that garboard you will get a better run at the stem. Ben
  21. Trussben
    Jim, your a lucky man being able to attend the workshop, it's high on my bucket list but just can't get away from work at the moment. Enjoy it, take lots of pics and give us unlucky ones a treat by telling us all about it on your log. Ben
  22. Trussben
    Hey Chuck, Glad to see you are back and going to rebuild your log. My longboat is not here but in the normal kit build logs if you want to see another one. I will follow along on yours and Toni's. Ben EDIT 3-11-2013, Just found my log has been moved to this area now!
  23. Trussben
    Hey Chuck, Don't forget from MSW1.0 that I was among the first to express interest in building the Winnie along with Rusty, but I'd really like an autographed copy. Ben
  24. Trussben
    Hey Toni, I just wanted to add a big thanks for you rebuilding your log in such a detailed and complete way, it's a joy to read it all again. Ben
  25. Trussben
    All I can say Ed is that your build is one of the most unbelievable works of art that I have ever seen, I shall order vol2 of the book as soon as I can. 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.
