    Thanks- but it's not my idea. I think this one's been around for a while. Steve

    Hi Nils- They're just micro binder clips. You have to disassemble them and use pliers to create these. Steve

    To create the templates for the seat back, support strip, and seats, I traced the laser cut parts. I used the plans to help create the front platform template. The platform and seats will remain unpainted, which is why I cut them from maple. All parts are dry fit and unglued at this point. Next, I will create the paneled support for the seats using the tabs that were removed from the frames earlier in the project. Steve

    Looks good to me! Once you get more onto the deck, you won't notice whatever is bothering you. Steve

    Erik, Looking forward to the continuation of your Cheerful. Hope all is well. Steve

    Looking forward to this. I bet you finish before my pinnace is complete. Steve

    Wow! Congrats. Steve

    Really fantastic work. What color rope is that from Chuck? Light brown? Steve

    Wow- anyone saying to themselves, "now I'm going to have to make these for this model!" ? This model gets better and better at each turn. Steve

    Thanks guys! I have Tamiya flat red from my Longboat project. I was considering changing the colors to orange and green to match this example I showed, but I also want to compliment my Longboat. I plan to modify the red color scheme to show more of the wood. I have some ideas. Stay tuned... Steve

    Very well done! I enjoyed your technical analysis on these projects and it added to the result. You finished them up quick. They look great together. Steve

    Shaping and installing the risers was a tricky task. I matched the curve of the third strake down from the shear fairly close. More time was spent creating a symmetrical pair. Now I can add some paint and begin some small structural modifications. I'm inspired by the below example provided by Chuck to our fellow member in his build. Shown below. Steve

    I do very little at a time. I think sometimes it helps the quality. This plank bending takes time and is frustrating on these small boats. If you do Chuck's Pinnace kit, you get to do inboard planking too. Steve

    Sounds about right! You are doing really well. Steve
  18. Tigersteve
    Really nice finish. Steve
  19. Tigersteve
    Nicely done! Steve

    Nice technical analysis. She's looking sharp! Steve
  21. Tigersteve
    Congrats! Nicely done. Steve

    I agree with Per. Seems awfully expensive for the case. Regarding the photos- try placing it near a window with daylight. No flash. Don't shoot the photo towards the daylight though. Steve
  23. Tigersteve
    Looks good. Don't forget to line the first couple frames and the last couple. Steve

    Great work, Peter. Steve

    Excellent Steve

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.
