    Thanks all for the thoughts and suggestions. Tom, the silkspan article is a great resource, thanks, but my understanding is Sig discontinued the product? Rob, looks promising. Do you think it would work with pull-one-dyed-threat method of simulating stitching? I guess on the whole I'm just surprised that while you can cover a model in PE detail and someone has even come out with a credible 3D 1:350 crew, that someone like ModelExo hasn't come forward with "the thinnest, finest woven fabric on earth" or something to cater to the sail ship hobby.

    I'm going to be playing my noob card for a couple months here, this being no exception so please forgive... Been reading up on this stuff and the whole "no way to make true-to-scale sails, especially stitches" thing. And it got me pondering: has no one come forward with some super modern woven from nano fiber cloth, or space age crazy-thin thread, or some such?

    Slightly OT but holy poop thats a nice hull! Even looking at the full resolution photo it almost appears as a single flowing piece of wood, not multiple planks. Very inspirational.

    Forgive me please for being new to all the terminology, but what is force bending (or, asked another way, what do we call the sort of bending shown in the video)?
  5. Sunsanvil
    When he says "no water", does he mean just for the one type of bend he demonstrates, or does he advocate no water period?

    So... at the onset he basically maps out on the frames/bulkheads where each and every plank is going to go and then shapes and bends each plank accordingly....and ends up perfect. Do I have that right?

    Wow...just spent the past hour clicking through this. "holy poop!" was uttered more than once. Difficult to imagine this is a first ship build. I've been lurking build threads for months and this could easily pass for master class. Did you have prior experience with scale modeling in other genres? Most inspirational.

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.
