    I have seen oars in a rainbow of colors. Solid Black, all Natural, different blade colors, different handle colors, just the blade tip. I believe it is your call and whatever you choose will be just fine.

    Great looking transom Bob. I would gladly take your skills any day.

    I have made pens from Madrone and the real ships were made of oak. It is just something different and I know it will look great. I have a lot of Maple somI may use that for decking and the Oak for planking above the Wale.

    I have access to one of the finest exotic wood stores in the country. Edensaw.

    I'll be watching this build. One of the great things about this site is no bullies. Happy Modeling.

    Gonna steal that cathead technique. Brilliant. Where did you get the disks?
  10. Jim Rogers
    Bob in a word Awesome. Beautiful work. Might have to get this one also.

    There are things you can do with a scroll saw you can't do with a band saw when working on thinner model sized stock. The only thing I can think of that a scroll saw can't do that a band saw can do is resawing thick slabs.

    Good thinkin' Rich.

    Jaager you have answered my question, the Byrnes it is.
  14. Jim Rogers
    Any pros and cons between the Byrnes Thickness Sander and the MicroMark? I am going to get one or the other. The difference I see is the MicroMark does a 5 inch wide board and has 120, 240 and 320 grit sanding sleeves.

    Brilliant Build Michel!

    Nice work Gary. This is on my list after I finish my Syren.

    The heck with that. I remember when I was stationed on the USS Piedmont AD-17 and I was conducting a PMS spot check. I reached in the box and pulled out Blinking Light Maintenance. The guy laughs and hands me a safety harness and says let's go. That's when I found out this blinking light was at the end of the yardarm. I got up there wrapped that safety harness line around until it was tight and watched the maintenance. Took about an hour for them to get me down as I have this great fear of heights. You wouldn't believe how much that yard moves.

    Just in time for Christmas. I heard the Admiral was getting me one......she just doesn't know it yet

    Chuck has corronades but they are in 1/4 scale. Look in the Cheerful section.

    The hull looks fantastic Mike. Love the ebony. How has it been to work with?

    Welcome Richard. This is a great place to learn. I have been building ships for twenty years and my skills have done nothing but multiply from the skills demonstrated on this site. You will get fabulous advice from some of the best in the world and not a prima donna in the group.

    A good omen for this build is the lack of the infamous pink plywood. Have fun!
  23. Jim Rogers
    Looks better and better every update. Great work Hennie.
  24. Jim Rogers
    Like the planking board!

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.
