    Made the remaining bulkhead patterns today along with the sub deck patterns. Motivation is low due to work being wicked crazy....end of day I am wiped, plus it's been in the Flippin 90s here lately and my patio is a sauna after work so no joy there. I should be able to get a bunch done this weekend..... Pamela
  12. PamW
    I agree with Chuck..... fine grit wet or dry.
  13. PamW
    Got some bits cut out...... Also I believe I blew the belt on the Lil table saw.....I've been a Lil taxing on it.....ooops. the ebony is kinda hard.....will do nicely. Onward, Pamela
  14. PamW
    Ok....change up.....I think instead of black walnut stained to resemble the black paint...I'm going to aquire some Gabon Ebony. Local place has it.....1"x3"x24" is the 50.00....ouch Back to that goofy thing, Pamela
  15. PamW
    No one has any suggestions or opinions?
  16. PamW
    Ok....ideas here....I don't wish to paint anything here....if anything stains. So selecting woods that work together might be tough......the decking is teak.. That's set.....keel, stem, rudder...walnut.....now, my terminology is bad here so bare with me. Top rail, few planks below that and below the gun ports black walnut, gun port planking cherry or plain walnut.....and main hull planking cherry. Is this way off base....or might that work? Suggestions, critisms, tell me I'm goofy..... Pamela
  17. PamW
    Wow...accomplished way more than I thought I would this evening.......woo-hoo The first poplar plank is 48"x10"x3/8"......so this should give a good idea of actual size. Now to find a nice Lil band saw for at home. The last photo is the walnut. This wood I got from Ocooch hardwoods in Wisconsin seems to be very good stuff. Onward, Pamela
  18. PamW
    Ok....Lil farther.....traced out more patterns this morning and bought stuff to make the templates
  19. PamW
    Ooooh......yer my new best friend.....I would like to do one of these as well in 1/24 full framed and detailed to go along with the United states in an enormous diarama of the final minutes of the battle...complete with smashed masts and all battle damage. And yes I am certifiably nuts...that's been established... Wink, Pamela
  20. PamW
    Ok...wood and saw parts are on the truck for delivery....tracking is a wonderful thing. Came into work a bit early to start the pattern making process....yes I have been slacking, but I have been cleaning up the shipyard so building will be more efficient. Onward McDuff, Pamela
  21. PamW
    Wood will be here tuesday, saw parts from micro mark Wednesday Bleh, I'm so impatient waiting for stuff. Pamela
  22. PamW
    For doing fiberglass. ..look into stuff called peel ply......it is placed on top of wet glass and squeegeed. Let dry...then "peel" off......leaving a completely smooth surface where very little if any sanding and/or filling are required. Pamela
  23. PamW
    Ugh.....now I wait for my wood to arrive.....I'm thinking maybe I'll get large dimension wood and rip it all down myself. Once this one order arrives...... Sigh, Pamela

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.
