  3. TOM G
    WOW ! were talking about a scratch build............. Great workmanship Gary.👍

    What ever you are going to build, start with knowledge of hull planking. Read the pdf simple hull planking for beginers. http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-framing-and-planking-articles.php

    This ship has a grand history. Sad that it is rusting away...... should have been restored. Nice to see that you are building the model.
  6. TOM G
    That's some incredible work that you did on makeing the block's........... they look real.
  7. TOM G
    She is building it by herself.

    Glad to see you back, I really marvel at your work....... it's beautiful. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

    AMEN.🙂

    In practicing, you make mistakes........ make mistakes on a full size vessel and you will sink.
  11. TOM G
    To do what you want to do, you have to be a shipwright. A model is one thing, a full size vessel is another.

    Is it a scale planking kit or a beginers planking kit ?
  13. TOM G
    Looking at the pic's Jo......... their is a big distance between bulkheads at midship........ if the distance from bulkhead to bulkhead is 2" or more....... your planks will dimple and rise in those area's....... as you can see on the hull of my 1st build. you could make 2 bulkheads out of 1/8" balsa wood and that would give you the backing you need.

    I think she will return, and post photo's of the completed vessel, to close out her log.
  15. TOM G
    THAT'S a great idea popeye........... i'm going to do the same.

    With all this activity going on, if she did'nt turn off her e-mail's from this site, we just might here from her.

    Glad you posted this Dave......... i was begining to think that some misfortune had come to her........ niece to see she's still moving right along🙂

    YES get it hot and instantly put it in the refrigerator freezer leave it in there for 30 min the quick cooling retains the memory of it.
  19. TOM G
    Pertty soon you will be into the rigging. somebody on this site posted this link........ it's nice....... you can freeze each frame to see exactly how to go over & under with your line, to make the knot.😉 https://www.animatedknots.com/complete-knot-list

    Yeah, i remember building some motorcycles, it was like working on a fish out of the water......... at least for me it was.😄 i used testors metalizer on an F-102 a couple years ago........ and the stuff makes plastic look like real metal . don't know if you are aware of it, you want to go with the bottel'd buffing. you can see more about it on youtube. you can't use metalizer over enamel paint. metalizer is lacquer, it will react like paint stripper on the enamel.
  21. TOM G
    Great job on weathering the banding......... look's like real metal.👍
  22. TOM G
    I think that model would have look'd better, if he had the flag on it......... after all he has crew members deck side....... of course the way it is say's it's in combat mode. but having the flag makes the statement to anybody. that this is a wwII german u boat.

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.
