    Tony, I've enjoyed your Sherbourne build, and I'm sure I shall enjoy the present build as much, if not more ... Each build we start, and (hopefully) finish, prepares us to improve, for the next build, or another future build. I like Remco's signature, which states to treat each part as a model on itself. I think it makes you get the best out of you for each part. It's a good way to go heads on with the tasks at hand. So I'll be sitting back, relax, and enjoy the view you'll be painting with parts Cheers

    We should ask Patrick, he come up with the idea
  3. cog
    Ah well, yet another whome takes the path less travelled by ... and that has made all the difference

    Going fast again. Question: Why don't you use styrene for the decks ?

    A mid seventeen century barge, with steam propulsion ... now that's a challenge I would like to see Bob. And of course the carvings, and banners It would blow the minds of the barge's contemporaries ...
  6. cog
    But, Bob, what have you done now the ship's midgets can escape from the lower hull deck :D Yes it did look (a bit) silly, i.e. the block underneath the ladder

    If you get me a ticket ... I don't think it matters, those last planks will be half size once they hit the bottom of the keel. Actually, it looks better than having a (half) stealer and drop plank to correct the angle, and thus the width at the bottom of the keel. Which brings me to the next question (no not about the cabin) Should you have started planking from the back of the keel, or would the angle be wrong to the (minds-) eye ...

    John, I thought it was a mouth full of horse manure ...

    You are selling yourself short. At least a D, sooner a C, Jack
  10. cog
    Yeah, right, as if I should believe that ... you just chickend out ... or "I thought the easiest way to do something was to get someone else to do it." and you didn't find the right person yet I like the diagonal planking you're doing, it gives the hull a whole knew dimension. Cheers

    Sometimes those small updates seems miles ... nice work Jack
  12. cog
    I would like to see the inside before I made such a statement ...

  14. cog

  15. cog
    Right, Mike, hold you to it. I can look at the keelson!!! P.s. My Swedish is bad if not existing!

    Greg, You are going to build both the old and the new tool ... A tad to fast for me. My pontos set from Australia hasn't arrived yet, so I'll be copying your work later Pitty you are doing the new tool kit. I'll be referencing as much as possible for Musashi, but it seems I will need to get some Yamato info as well. Cheers

    Good reason to go North. Always wanted to see Scandinavia, although Stockholm isn't very rural I presume ...

    So now you can get to the lower deck with your whip, without having to touch the rowers She does start to look like a bireme. Love the way the bow turned out
  19. cog
    Where will you display your craft's result ... You should give people a chance to see it
  20. cog
    Looking good OC. Hope to do as well as you when I work on my battleship
  21. cog
    Mike, Lovely work on the keelson. You can get a hollow plane for those curves, or a spherical ... There is no next time for the keelson ... just a next build
  22. cog
    If this how you start, we are in for some more eye candy. Looking good Kees!!
  23. cog
    Good to see you got a chance to pick up some of the tools of the trade! Looking forward to see more progress ... Cheers
  24. cog
    Should we call you "mother" .... ???????? Planning a build on the side ... Cheers
  25. cog
    Julie, You do not need me to build that cabin That's an ingenious solution. Love your build, teaches me quite a few things! Cheers

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.
