    At least you can re-do-dely-dum-do-it. You know it is "getver, derrie" (yack, muck) I hope it will go smoothly from here on, Marcus. Not what we call a good beginning ...

    3 lines it is ... now you need some orders to get them started

    Nice work on those tree nailed decks Rexy.

    Happy New Year Sam. Hope you'll get a bit more time for modelling this year ...

    Thanks Jack. However, it doesn't make it any easier ... I still dunno what those bluenose ringlets look like in that size in comparison to the birch one's ... not much to compare ...

    I'm a metric person, 5/16 doesn't mean a thing to me, show me what you want and I will tell you my thoughts on the subject

    You'll get there, Jack. It'll cost you maybe a bit more time, but you'll do fine

    You are a real PE-master. I know the sizes and how fragile these Pontos parts are for the Yamato (got a box full of more or less the same) and it is stunning to see how you manage to put them into shape ... astonishing!!! Best wishes, and a steady modeling hand for 2017 Cheers

    Thank you for changing the video type Wefalck

    You're getting the hang of making those masts. Looking very good

    Wefalk, The only result I get from your videos are errors both on Quicktime and on VLC

    Black, very dark brown .. Oh, nearly forgot! A happy, healthy and prosperous new year to you an your family! Cheers I forgot another thingy ... You could erect a bit of a wall between frames at those sbdeck spots, and give that on the inside the same colour as the one you put on the frames ..
  14. cog
    You could paint the frames facing those "subdecks" dark. Most builders do as it looks more realistic if one looks down onto or at them ... just a thought
  15. cog
    Should have thought of that!!

    Seems they sold you short ... Right, thinking in solutions: The poop deck: Don't worry, when you lay your deck planking you'll fill it up, and you won't see it any more. The stern filler. That's a different story. You might try to get something from the manufacturer by way of the reseller, but that could take a long time. Alternatively, you could get yourself a block of balse and shape it to fit. Just my two pennies

    Yep, her hair is on fire

    Buying is not the problem, Greg. Choosing the one that will do the job for you ... compressor selected ...?

    Nice work on the caulking and tree nails, Rexy. A disadvantage of graphite is it gets smudges on your planks ... you could use a dark grey-ish fine tipped felt marker instead, I found that black was a bit to prominent Cheers
  20. cog
    First steps taken ... looking good John
  21. cog
    Very clear details. Lovely work on that mast and the housing
  22. cog
    You mean the keel ...
  23. cog
    Rexy, Starts to take the form of a ship. Concerning the deck planks: Depending on how true to scale you want to be you might find out the distance between deck beams on the Endeavour. That will define the length of your planks. You could use 10cm though To get rid of the deformation in the false keel, you could glue blocks of wood in between frames. What you did now will work as the hull will keep it into form Cheers

    Quite a brass band gathered on your decks! Looks very impressive Nils

    Congratioulations on your aniversary, Elijah. Just a wee bit to go

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.
