    Interesting story. I myself keep a note book not unlike that one for rigging. Early U S Navy ships. I'm basically old time pre computer guy. A different Hal.

    50 years ago, the old wood boats I ran still had copper bottoms. I agree with Druxey's comments completely. The copper on them never turned green when in use and in the water, except maybe above the water line. The salt water cleans the copper fairly bright on an active boat. The bottoms didn't turn green until they were on land. They were 50-60 ft. Oyster Boats and Patrol Boats. I know some do not believe me, but this is how I remember it. - Hal

    Marcus K, If you can get it ?, The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts had a book "William Rush, American Sculptor". It is excellent source of Rush's work. - Hal

    I agree with Beef Wellington and Wefalck. Easiest fix would be to add small piece of wood to the quion to level the barrel. Personally I would replace the carriages and barrels with some better ones. -Hal

    I seize my served shroud on a shaped piece of wood slightly larger then the mast head. I find working the lines off the mast and the model easier-Hal

    If I remember correctly ( dangerous ) the U.S. Navy stopped using them sometime before the War of 1812. -Hal

    Your carvings are excellent, a wonder to behold. I work in 1/96 scale. I wish I had your skill in carving. - Hal

    On the copper plates, You can leave them bright. On the boats I ran the copper didn't turn brown/green until it was out of the water in the yard. Salty water is like sanding the copper on an active boat. Sitting at dock the above waterline copper will turn, but once moving through the water it turns bright as a new penny. That's how I remember it to be.-Hal

    I laminate thin wood ( like "plywood" ) to make my collars and hearts, then cut to shape. - Hal

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.
