    Deck looks good Chris. I also do not know how correct this is, but, looks the goods. Just don't muck up the simple sanding job! I have also sworn off 0.5mm planking or using anything under 1mm. For something different, I scraped my last 0.5mm deck with a 1" wide wood chisel. No going back, a much better result. Cheers, Martin

    Hi Bill, Why not go for one of the earlier vessels that had an initial impact on the US revenue service. Absolutely choose one that has plans or some such available. You obviously know how to model. Choose well and start the build. I'll pull up the chair. All the best Martin

    We have also not heard from Eddie (Eddie mate with the nodding parrot) from Melbourne. All three were very active members. One notices when they are not posting.

    Congratulations Bob, she really looks the business. All the best. Martin.

    Hi Bob, Glad you found that reference helpful. Ah, flags. I generally leave them off because I cannot get them to look realistic. The wave you achieved looks good though. Cheers, Martin

    Hi Bob, You could check Alexey Baranov's website and see how he attached the anchors on his HMS Cumberland. http://shipmodels.com.ua/eng/models/elite/cumberland/index.htm Cumberland and Vanguard are both 74 guns. Regards Martin

    Those stuns'l booms will get you every time. Cheers Martin

    Hi Bob, I for one am happy that you went overboard with the photo's. I confess that I too have been referring to your log on a regular basis. I am building the HMS Elephant option of this kit. (Rigging and masts not yet started) You, Glenn, Fake John Bull, and Arthur, have been invaluable. Thanks! One day I hope to post something that you all can use. Regards, Martin

    Hi Bob, Have you hoisted the Ensign? Is it nearly finished? Looks good. Regards, Martin

    You are correct, Steven. The dromon is elegant. Your excitement and pride justifiably shine through your commentary. Congratulations on reaching this milestone. Regards, Martin

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model shipcraft.

The Nautical Research Guild puts on ship modeling seminars, yearly conferences, and juried competitions. We publish books on ship modeling techniques as well as our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, whose pages are full of articles by master ship modelers who show you how they build those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you what details to build.
