    Hi Gil, I found myself going back over your log for ideas and techniques regarding fitting out the yards. I've been distracted by building boats and making blocks for so long, I'd forgotten what I was doing! It was great to have your log as a handy reference. Thanks for the detailed explanations and photos - they have been a big help.

    Nicely done Sjors. About time for some yard work isn't it?

    Very sorry to hear that Andy. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

    Thanks Bill - guess I'd rather live in Wisconsin then

    Fabulous Daniel - can't think what else to say. Just fabulous!

    Yeah - wot he said!

    Great work Robbyn. You must be thrilled to have completed her (almost). Congratulations. I'll look forward to following your Syren build - I'm sure you will make a first class job of her too.

    More fabulous craftsmanship Toni.

    And your efforts have paid off in spades Robert - you can be very proud of the results you are achieving. Absolutely top notch.

    Hi Bill, I'm just curious about your location. My knowledge of American geography is appalling, so please indulge me. Is Madison where you are the same as Madison County, as in the book title "The Bridges of Madison County?" (Great book, by the way). Cheers, Grant

    Great start on the planking Augie. And what a bonus to have Chuck dropping by with such timely and sage advice. This is going to be a real beauty!

    I wish Mark!!! Although at times it does feel a little like "ground hog day"......

    Hi Bill, After reading your lovely wife's introduction yesterday, I just had to drop in and say hi to you both on your new build log. Looks like you've got the space sorted. Now all we need is the model kit! I'll look forward to following you on this build. I'll sit down front next to Sjors and make sure he behaves himself. Just make sure you post plenty of pictures to keep Sjors happy!

    That looks terrific Rusty. Can you explain a little more about how you achieved the depressions for the mortar bombs please? (You just mentioned that you sanded them in). Cheers,

    Pygothian, You can order timber (including Swiss Pear) from Hobbymill in the US (link on the MSW home page). Send an email to Jeff Hayes and he will sort you out - milled to your exact requirements. He provides quality timber, beautifully milled, and at a very reasonable cost. No connection, just one of many very satisfied customers. Now, about those power tools.......... Robert, Sorry to hijack your log. Your gun carriages look superb - well done!

    Hi Robbyn, I agree with Jay - give the 5min epoxy a try. I react to CA as well, but I'm okay with the epoxy.

    If making lots of blocks is progress, then I guess I've made some progress! I know it's getting repetitive, but you know who will be demanding pictures as usual, so here's today's efforts: 433 x 3mm single blocks and 112 x 3mm double blocks. There's a few you can spot in the photo that won't make the final QC cut, but the reject rate is actually pretty low. One of these days I'll get to start attaching these to the ship!

    Thanks Gil, it's great to see you back on the forum again. Looking forward to seeing more progress on your own log shortly.

    "Beautiful" just doesn't seem to be enough somehow.......

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.
