    I'd be interested in this boat, it'll make a cracking little project. Very nice, precise work as usual, from Chuck.

    Gorgeous planking Frank, I'm now going to find a dark, quiet corner and cry😂😇 Very nicely done!
  4. Edwardkenway
    Just exquisite Frank!

    Very well done Andrew😉

    Had a bit of catching up to do and wow! Excellent finish, a very absorbing Dio.
  7. Edwardkenway
    It is good to see you back on this Dio OC! The teasers of what is to come promise a spectacular vision.

    Beautifully done Craig, 👏👏 and I'm watching avidly for Andrews rendition 😁

    Very well done, Rob. I'm totally gobsmacked at the level of detail

    Looks real nice Andy, but then I had no doubt it would😁😇

    It's turned to be a great model, all power to you!!

    Thanks to all for the encouraging comments. Over the last week or so, I've made eight hinges, only 12 more to go, but I've only got enough brass strip for 9. The search is on for some more strip. 4 gun port lids have had their hinges fitted I still need to make and fit the pivot for the hinges and remove the molding where the hinge will sit. An order of .8mm wire has arrived, so I will make the larger ring bolts. Thank you everyone who has commented, and for the likes, or for looking in. Cheers

    Must be the fertilizer used, or they're mutant alien veggies.... Welcome to the Twilight Zone😱

    Glenn, CMB usually have some 3mm wide by Occre https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=brass 1%2F16in strip&PN=Occre-Brass-Strip-OC17040.html#SID=3142, although it's showing unavailable at the moment.

    I have the same problem, I used a couple of spare from my AL whaleboat but need more. Im sure CMB used to have some, it was from Occre https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=brass 1%2F16in strip&PN=Occre-Brass-Strip-OC17040.html#SID=3142

    Certainly, if one has access to a large bench saw and thickness planer, timber can be found by contacting a tree surgeon in ones area, who more often than not, are more than willing to give you wood. Also local timber yards stock clearish constructional timber in various lengths, thicknesses and widths for a fraction of the price of PAR/PSE wood eg £3.50 for 6ft of 4x2 spruce. In my own case I have carpenter/ joiner acquaintances withe the right kit, if or when I need.

    Hearty congratulations!!!, nicely done against what appears to be stiff competition.
  20. Edwardkenway
    Can't wait not to see your logs you won't be doing😁

    B and Q do a clear pine board, 1.2m x 400mm x 18mm for around £30. 2.4m is £50 Is the tug wider than 400mm? Other than that most builders merchants have a timber section. Would not a good sheet of marine ply be suitable? A 2.4 x 1.2 x 9, 12 or 18 mm would be around £30-50 respectively. Just chiming in here😉

    Looks absolutely wonderful Fred, and yes between you and Glenn, I'm very sorely tempted to do a Cheerful. Maybe a year or two down the line it may come to fruition. Winnie is keeping my hands full at the moment. After seeing what great work you've done with Cheerful, I think you'd certainly make a Winnie to be proud of.

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.
