    Bruce check Wargaming Figure sites. They have different scales available. I found my Bowspirit for my Rattlesnake build there by getting a French and Indian war Warrior set.

    Renamed mine the Boston in honor of my lovely spouse. I was going to do a Diorama with it but chickened out.

    What a beautiful stern. I see what you are talking about BUT look how far the channel would have to protrude in order to clear the rail.

    There are numerous products available and I have no clue what is readily accessible Down Under. Do a search for Metal Blackening Solution and dozens will show up. I looked for Brass Antiquing capabilities.

    You can buy blackening solution. You place the brass part in for a minute or so and it is chemically blackened. I bought mine at a Stained Glass shop. You can also get it online.

    When my hobby area was in the wood shop I would just pin them all to the wall. It was nice to have all of them out to reference. When I moved upstairs when the Goat Locker was completed I have dry wall and my walls are all taken up by my plaques so no room to pin. I have read a couple of ideas I am going to implement. (1) I like the idea of copying and putting in a folder. (2) I like the idea of a adjustable drafting board. Thank you all for the suggestions.

    Awesome. The first photo looks like it was taken right on the street.

    I am looking for either a Drafting Table or an easel to mount my plans. I want something large enough but also portable or even able to be broken down and stored. Any suggestions.

    Welcome Alain. I have learned so much from this site and I love that it is made up from people all over the world AND we all get along. Maybe if the entire world got into modeling it would be a more peaceful place. Beautiful town you live in and great photos.

    I use Ebony wood stain and it is beautiful. Stays under steam where I have had paint removed when steaming.

    Mike that is one fine looking result. I learn something every time I build and I have learned so much in the few months I have been on this site. I constantly had issues bending wood for planking. I dry bent, soaked in water, soaked in ammonia (NEVER AGAIN) and was getting pretty frustrated. Then I read this log that mentioned steam. So I went on Amazon, bought a steam cleaner with a nozzle attachment and it makes things so much easier. You can bend and twist with ease. If you build the Mayflower it has a blunt bow and I wish I would have known about steam at the time. That boat must have been a rough ride plowing into the seas.

    I guess I am a blessed man as I have an entire building 50x 30 two story Garage Mahal. Downstairs is my woodworking shop. Scroll Saw, Chop saw, Oscillating sander, Shopsmith with Band Saw and Jointer plus a ton of sanders and other hand tools outside covered wood storage. Upstairs is the Goatlocker Vintage Audiophile room and boatyard. Love it! Stereo crankin' and I'm a plankin'

    I have glued actual wood strips to plastic ship decks and they looked great, also covers up that unsightly seam.

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.
