    I’m just amazed by the quality Mark. I can’t believe you turned that brass for the cleats with no tail stock !

    Looking great 👍

    You need a punch and die set. MicroMark has them. Its a slow process.

    Excellent work. I am looking into building a Oneida. I cant seem to find much info on her at all. What plans are you working from ? Do you know where I can get scale plans and rigging plans ? Thanks

    Lee Valley has some great mini planes.

    Beautiful clean work. Very impressive.
  24. Tonphil1960
    Good progress. Move slowly and carefully and you'll be fine. Not as easy assembly.

    Yes understood. I can see doing it but I’d didn’t work out for me. Good luck

    I used the Hahn method for frames and have spend many hours on my LeRo and in the end I’m going to scrap the entire project. I made serious mistakes in haste because I didn’t want to cut each frame piece individually. The joints of the frames keel and keelson are very very critical. I succeeded with my Blandford section by doing the frames piece by piece and the correct way. I didn’t want to spend the time doing it on this model with bad results. By all means glue up the frames over the template leave them all larger all around and sand to shape. I’d hate to see you in the position I am in.

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.
