    Moro. Nice to see you back Pasi, I've enjoyed your build so far so it's great to see the log continuing. Ben

    Hi JP, It looks very good, maybe your Garboards come a little too far forward but if you have measured everything and you are happy with how the stem planks will taper then carry on at full speed. ben

    Simply Beautiful Rusty, I love how your Swiss Pear and Boxwwod go together, and the accuracy of your port lids is better than mine! ben

    Update time: Made the iron work for the mast and bowsprit, this is delicate and very small work. ben

    Hi Larry and thanks for the comments. I reprinted the Friezes on standard weight copier paper and then added a fixative ( Wife's hairspray laquer ) to try and prevent it from aging to badly, mine came out nicely I think, just remember you may have to resize them to fit your hull better ( 88% for me ). ben

    I knew it, you and Jeff must be best friends! I just wish he would sell to modelers in Ohio like me! Very nice work on that mortise mate! Ben

    Hey Greg, I know that David was your Mentor, would you like an apprentice?? I would take the position with no pay tomorrow. Lol. Ben

    That looks awfully like a dewalt dw788 scroll saw?

    Very nice boxwood, I'm sure it's hobbymill so I won't even ask! So you are putting the notches in the beams, excellent, can I see some closeups of them please, pretty please? Ben

    The Monster build is back, I love what you did with the dentists chair but i dont see that picture where it looks like youre going to launch the ship into space. ben
  13. Trussben
    Yehh Gary and the Alfred are back! So Glad you decided to repost your most excellent work, I will look forward to reading it all again. ben

    Wow Greg, Even more pics than the last time, very impressive work, I wish I could afford all those lovely tools you have but over time you never know. I am setting this log to e-mail me whenever its updated because I dont want to miss anything ben

    Got to agree, very nice work, keeping the shrouds distances even can be a pain, now I want to see some ratlines. ben
  17. Trussben
    SWEET Augie, That rigging looks awesome, glad you having fun with it. For some strange reason the rigging is one of my favorites parts of a build, not including ratlines of course ben

    Hi remcoe, Great to see it back on the site, I laughed again when I saw the miniature basket weaving and the old rat. You are a simply amazing model builder. Ben

    Yet another Passaro masterpiece, thanks for posting her again Chuck, wonderful to see. Ben
  20. Trussben
    Yea Rusty. Thanks so much for rebuilding your Confed log, it's such a great help for me to see your work, just hope Chuck and Chris repost theirs as well. 1 question on the stern framing, I see when you had the template on there for marking the sill positions you lined up the dotted line at the bottom of the template with the top of the upper counter, did this line up correctly with everything else afterwards? I think mine maybe slightly too high and I will have to re do them. Ben

    JP, Have to agree with the others, the run of the planking looks very good, after you add the garboard go back and do another load of measurements and adjust your battern to suit, I think your doing great. Ben
  22. Trussben
    Hi Paul, As the others have said, It will be a real treat to watch from the beginning as such, Those original photos are great! ben
  23. Trussben
    OH ComeOn Man. what's the new something else??? Don't torture me!! :-) Ben
  24. Trussben
    Great to see your ECHO is back Rusty, I shall be watching intently as always to your builds. Ben
  25. Trussben
    Very nice work there Jim, I also have the ECHO to build but must finish at least one of my builds before the Admiral will allow me to start another, in the meantime I am getting the nesscary tools to be able to do it justice. I will follow you log with great interest. 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.
