    Going way off base here but.....back in post 32 ( your horsrs ). I grew up round Quarterhorses but age has done a number on the old memory. What do you call the color on the red/brown one ? Now for serious business...your little boat is spectatular. First time John and my pocketbook agree I'm buying it. I hope to build it with masts and rigging. Have you considered that ? Dwight

    Does anyone have an idea where I can get a copy of Taubman's plans for the USS Confederancy. I planing to buy the kit from MS and want to complete the masts and rigging

    Looks like you got a new camera too !
  17. Dwight
    I thought they were closed ??
  18. Dwight
    But has anyone actually used one ? You can say it belongs to your rich cousin to avoid redicule.

    Has anyone had any experience with the Woodcutter S . I first saw it on facebook , then saw it in the Micro_Mark catalog. If what I've read this tool could make a hugh difference for modelers of all types. It's expensive so I don't want to buy one blind. Stay healthy , Dwight

    So you tried to grab the mouse by the nose instead of the tail. Looks good after you flipped him over. Remember always grab the mouse by the tail. That was just plain silly.
  24. Dwight
    Wonder why the beak pieces wern't laser cut , especially with Chuck doing the planning.
  25. Dwight
    What is WzM book
  26. Dwight
    Wow ! I've been thinking of doing the Confederancy but don't like the unfinished look without masts and rigging. I found a place thet sells plans for Confederancy with all the rigging. They are 1/98 th but that shouldn't be to big a problem. I'll look them up for you if you're interested.

    Looks great. The Lauck Street Shipyard "book" was a waste of money , Almost as confusing as the instructions that came with the model

    Thanks Pete , I figured it out myself. Sorry to interrupt. I used the jaws of my caliper as the two straightedges and a pr of needle nose to twist them. BTW , your Fair America looks great !!
  30. Dwight
    Pete , Please forgive me but I'd like you to expand on post #16 where you " adjusted " the windows to fit the curve of the planking. I'm assuming you simply twisted the frames using the straight edges to hold them in place then pushed on one corner with something to get them to deforme. Is this the idea or am I way out in left field ?

    Thanks guys !!

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.
