    Tony; I built a boat similar to yours. The only similarity is that we both used wood. Your craftsmanship is absolutely superb and the boat a real beauty!! Which cad program do u use and what is the learning curve to become proficient?....Moab

    Javier; as usual your craftsmanship is outstanding!!! How the heck can you do all this so quickly? Have you ever tracked the time it takes to build these incredibly beautiful models?You inspired me to try making one of these (Alghero) and I'm working on my third hull trying to get it right. I don't claim to be a good model maker but perhaps I'll get an acceptable hull by Christmas. Thank you for posting these builds....Moab

    Y.T....I went on Lee Valley's website to spend some $$$ and the vice is out of stock. Incredibly it indicated it would be available December 4th....Moab

    Stwemac.com, a luthier supplier also makes a great router base which I've used for years. They also have a range of other tools that will help separate you from your money...Moab

    I agree... the web site is bad. At first I thought this "hand cranked" sander was not for me. But when I thought about the types of sanding I do I began to think I could use this product. My "shop" is 6' x 12' and doubles as our office. With my current electric sander dust collection is a problem. Also some of my sanding needs are minor angle changes or touch ups so a hand cranked sander would work well. I also like the way angles can be adjusted. One downside (I think) is the inability to make compound angle cuts because the table isn't adjustable. ( I need to recheck the web site to check out the deck.)...Moab

    Thanx for the feedback. I need to think about it for awhile...Moab

    I read the comments above about the Vanda-Lay Acra-Mill Plus which were very helpful. I have limited space and already have a MicroMark drill press which handles my drilling requirements. I scratch build smaller ships/boats (1:100 +-). My "workshop" space is very limited. Anyone have any additional comments about this mill?...Moab

    Javier: I "think" I see some of the balsa you mentioned in front of frame 1 at the stem.. ...Moab

    Thank you Javier. My first attempt wasn't too good but I'll try again. Again, thank you...Moab

    Javier; when you begin applying the strakes do you add a small piece of wood at the bow and stern so the strakes have a surface for which to be glued or...how do you do this?...Moab
  21. Moab
    Thank you for sharing this incredible build with us....Moab
  22. Moab
    Igor; I just started following your build. Absolutely incredible. Can you describe your process for making sails especially the material used, etc. Thank you for posting these beautiful photos...Moab
  23. Moab
    Javier; do you measure and shape strakes the same way it's done on larger models?.... Moab

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.
