    Wow you aren't even kidding. I don't know how many pieces I've lost to Davy Jones carpet. Your ship is absolutely amazing. Very well done. I look forward to seeing more.

    I agree Popeye. Nothing like ending the day with a cold root beer, the smell of saw dust, and beautiful lines of a ship in progress.

    Pictures?! you mean there's a build going on in this build log? Looking good Sjors. Very clean work.

    I'm finding that's true. I find from time to time that for being a patience bottle builder I sure don't have enough patience. They have just about sent me over the brink. I got them all done yesterday and not a day to soon. I wouldn't say I'm beating my self up so much as i am tired of work and the drama lama's of work. Makes it worse when I get home get the kiddo's to bed and then am to tired to build. Things are looking up though. Another month and I'll have things where they want them and then I think I'll take a week off.

    Thought I'd pop in for a look and glad I did she's looking great. I really like the overall look of this ship. Sjors your really getting picked on lately. People may want to be careful. Between the secret stash and the ten Euros you may be able to afford some new cannonballs.

    Pictures! Pictures! Pictures! .....I mean take your time.....

    Incredible work! I look forward to seeing the rigging come together.

    Thank you John. I enjoy your comments. Augie a good influence? Well..... Thanks for the compliment. I will try to post more as I find time. You wouldn't have any to spare would you. Thanks Michael. Some times I think it's to much detail for this scale but on the other hand I like pushing my self to these limits. Thanks Texxn5. It's getting tedious at this point those darn cannons are a pain in behind. I'll keep it up though. Well it's been a while since I've posted or even been around. I blame work. I won't go into that heavily but long story short I have a ton of financials to do by yesterday and not much time for much else. Seems as though I've been too tired to reply to posts let alone build. I'm hoping to have work ship shape by the end of June though and then I can get back to the ship yard more often. I did make some progress today. Not much but some. I finished off the cannons on the port side and added the hatches. Still a lot more to go.

    I've always wondered this as well. I think PopJack has the answer though. It does look like the more perpendicular the yard is to mast and the bigger the sail the less a bad tack would matter. Which maybe why they didn't change it on the big ships.

    Great work Augie she's really coming together.
  11. DSiemens
    Very very well done!!! And perfection in every sense. She's incredible.

    <Gaaasp> Not really metal!?! Paper and insulation!?! ... Sounds like perfect miniature materials. I've been meaning to get my hands on some insulation to do some cannons actually. I just need to find small enough wire. Great work Mark.
  13. DSiemens
    Thought I'd throw in another good word. Well Done! Well that was two words. Still. Great work she's really looking fantastic. I agree with the launching party. We'll have to get that guy with the popcorn to bring cookies though.
  14. DSiemens
    I'm going to have to try that.
  15. DSiemens
    Looking Awesome Popeye. I love the details as well. That's an interesting flag as well I don't think I've seen it before.
  16. DSiemens
    What a scary deal Mark. I hope your feeling better soon.
  17. DSiemens
    I'll put this up for all the SIB builders out there. <iframe width="500" height="350" src="http://embed.snagfilms.com/embed/player?filmId=8f4e9290-a748-11e0-a92a-0026bb61d036&w=500" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> I was afraid that wouldn't work. Here's a link. http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/steady_as_she_goes#

    That is incredible work John the ship is very fitting of it's name.
  19. DSiemens
    This is really cool. I would love to 3D print cannons for my size models. The amount of detail available at almost any size is incredible. I am a bit of a traditionalist and will stick to my wood builds but for parts and pieces 3D would be great.
  20. DSiemens
    I thought it looked familiar. I'm glad it helped.
  21. DSiemens
    Good to see you back. I'm interested to see how the hand rails come out I've always wondered how it was done. As far as the port holes I would try a couple different ways. Having not done them I don't know if this will work but it's what I would do. First idea is cut out a sort of stencil and paint them on. Second idea is to create the port holes out of paper cut them out and glue them on. This would take some time but it would give them a little depth. Painting around them may just give them the white ring they have in the photo. It seemed to work on the windowsills of my Mercury it may work for this. That said your detail is amazing as always. She's going to be a really incredible.
  22. DSiemens
    I for one would love to see that. I say go for it.
  23. DSiemens
    That's the funniest thing I've heard all day. This forum can get pretty involved. It's too much fun.
  24. DSiemens
    She is an incredible ship Texxn. You really did an excellent job. Every thing looks so neat and clean. Great work.
  25. DSiemens
    Well done qwerty. Thats a beautiful cutter. It's an addicting hobby. I like how quick it goes. Can't wait to see what you come up with in the desert bottle.

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.
