    What is the best way to prevent the paint from "bleeding" when painting the edges of the planking black? Eddie

    Another fantastic build for me to follow. Totally impressive detail and construction.

    Excellent build. Hope I can become half the ship model builder you are!

    Thank you for the replies and links! Adriekel Have searched for logs and pictures of a finished Elsie. Unfortunately, have been unable to find any logs and the photos are not detailed enough to see some of the things I want to see. JPett Thanks for the links. Will go over each one carefully when I have the time. Also will get a copy of the books you suggested. Need all the help I can get! Found myself laughing and shaking my head when I read the part about time and commitment. Built and scrapped enough brass attempting to make the gudeons and pintles to take a trip to the recycler! Cut and carved enough rudders to build a couple of rowboats! Finally decided to make the rudder and stern post out of two pieces rather than three pieces. Think I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel after my 15th one! Have been taking pics all along the process. Just need to make a bit more progress before I feel comfortable posting a log.

    Sure hope someone does post a log. Currently working on an Elsie myself, first build ever. Could use seeing how some of the building is done. Trail and error can be so frustrating!

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.
