    Hey folks - does anyone have a good graphic of the transom scroll work? I'm looking for something flat that I can use for a pattern for engraving. The larger (and more accurately detailed) the better. I've got tons of pictures but translating this to a flat surface would be kind of a mystery to me, with the compound curved surface. Thanks in advance, - Tim

    Hello everyone - It's been WAY too long since I've dropped in. It's very good to see a lot of the same folks and builds progressing, and in some cases completing their projects. I was able to retire (finally) about a year ago, and with some big items off the honey-do lists, I'm finding myself with a little time. Looking at some interesting metalworking and engraving websites is rekindling my nautical interests, so I'm going to re-open the shipyard. The CS was placed in mothballs several years ago so finding just where I left off is taking some time. Also trying to find the treasure trove of photographs I'd collected from the incredibly helpful folks here proving difficult. It's been one or two computers ago and backing up was not one of my strong points. Fortunately Nenad's links still work so that's a great start. Anyway, please bear with me as I ask many questions all over again, and try to dive back into this build. Best regards, - Tim

    Hello Ted - It's Tim in New Mexico (Schooner Yacht America). It's been a long time since I've been to the forum but it's great to see the progress you've made on Bluenose! Top notch work! Also great to see all the experts still building and contributing. After about 2 1/2 years hiatus I've been thinking about opening up the shipyard once again. Cutty Sark has been in mothballs all this time and I'm digging around to try and remember where I was, and the sequences I had figured out to proceed. One immediate task is to find all the reference pictures I had stashed here and there - hundreds of pictures (from the actual CS) from a number of forum folks. Unfortunately that was two computers ago, and I've lost those links. I'm sure I can reconstruct but that'll take a while. I remember now that this kit is so bashed that the kit plans are useless. I was following Longridge with lots of help by Lou and Hof and Nenad and Keelhauled, and a bunch of others here. I'm sure It will all come rushing back as soon as I pick up the Xacto knife again. Anyway, thought I'd say Hi and that I'll be lurking about. Looking forward to seeing the progress on Bluenose - and hopefully Syren at some point. Best, - Tim

    You have an excellent eye for composition Nenad! Really really nice photographs! - Tim

    Looks fantastic Lou! I've forgotten, do you plan to set sails? Looks like you're getting pretty close to running rigging. Keep up the great work. - Tim

    Marc - That is a beautiful job!! So when I send you the quantity for my brass belay pins, do you need an Autocad file or just a dimensioned drawing? 😉 - Tim
  17. mojofilter
    Ed - Truly a treasure trove of information, technique, and craftsmanship! A masterpiece! Thank you for this! - Tim

    Nicely done Nenad!

    Thank you Marc - The Campbell I bought from the Cutty Sark's gift shop (online) was very rough. Not useless but as you say, copy of a copy (of a copy). This was a number of years before 2017 but after 2003. I will order another set. Thanks for mentioning the improved prints. - Tim PS feel free to make another set of your drawings and mail them to me 😉

    Gary, Very nice! I personally like the 'staining' of the wood around the hinges. Also think the knob looks fine the way it is. She is really coming together nicely. -Tim

    Stubborn? Yes!! But perhaps a better term: Perseverance! I looked it up in my dictionary and here is what I found:

    Very nice planking Nenad - while I am no where near working on my boats, this is the technique I will use. Please keep it going. We want to see more of your imagination at work. - Tim

    Hi TUEL - I recommend you follow Hamilton's log on truing and fairing the bulkheads. He was much more conscientious than I (my first build) and I'm sure it led to a much easier hull planking. The plans are crap! The pot metal parts are crap! The blocks are really crap! The supplied rope was crap. Syrian ship model company (syrenshipmodelcompany.com) has really good rope, blocks, and deadeyes. And with the extra materials you procured you should feel free to bash. You may want to look at the books I reference in my build - lots of drawings, paintings, and even some actual photographs. I can already tell by your observations that you will do a great job on this build. It is possible with this kit as a starting point. Hamilton's came out great, and he did sails (too scary for me). Good luck, I'll be looking in if that's OK. - Tim

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.
