    Thank you, so much. It was driving me crazy
  2. petehay started following Moving posts , 18th Century Longboat by FarmerJon - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:48 Scale - first build and Captian Eddy by petehay

    I just picked up the Model Shipways Longboat kit from a yard sale. Kit was opened and laser cut pieces were cut from the sheets. After doing some research, everything does seem to be there. Now my question for anyone who is familiar with this kit. There are 2 pieces for the keel and 2 pieces for the stem and rudder. Do these pieces get sandwiched/glued together? I see no mention of this in the instructions. Pete

    My attempt at a ship's wheel for the flying bridge. Made with an O-ring, some straight pins and some beads for the handles. It's 3' in diameter from tip of handle to tip of opposite handle at 1:48th scale. My old hands don't have the dexterity to go much smaller.

    Got it. Thanks

    Alan, It looks like issue 16 is not available to non-members yet. I will keep an eye out. Thanks Pete
  17. petehay
    My next step will be figuring out how to create the ship wheels from scratch at 1/48th scale. Any suggestions?
  18. petehay
    Thanks for the clarification.

    @FlyingFish…and there would also be a wheel in the “wheelhouse”? BTW - the detail on the Orca is absolutely amazing.
  20. petehay
    My next question regards the structure(?) on the wheelhouse roof.as shown below: These plans are based upon a fictional lobster boat from the comic strip "Non Sequitur" by Wiley Miller. In the images below there is a shop's wheel up there. Is this correct or is it artistic license? (I hope I'm not breaking any copyright rules here)
  21. petehay
    Thanks for looking. I will have some questions regarding how to proceed in my next post. Pete

    First I want to thank Chris Coyle for his help in moving my previous posts in the "Ship Plans & Project Discussions" forum to this build log. Below are the photos of my progress thus far.
  23. petehay
    Thank you so much. Saved me a lot of work. Pete
  24. petehay
    ...and I would like to rename the post
  25. petehay
    I want to convert my post "Fishing Boat kit from German company" to a build log under scratch-built
  26. petehay
    Can I move or copy a thread (that I started) from one forum to another?

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.
