    Hope this one hasn't been used before

    Nice save on the deadeye John. Lovely job on the shrouds too.

    Michael, I had something along the same line: Copy/mark the pattern of the portholes on paper. Use that as a template to mark them on the hull with a needle or awl. You could then make a 'dent' in the hull with a drill bit (if that small is available) or increase the size using an awl with a short wide point. Finally fill the holes with a dark stain/paint ...

    Auch!!! Mark, Sorry to hear about your accident. One question, as this or something like this happend to me (although, without so much damage), did you feed the wood faster that last run? I noticed that if the bit makes high revolutions and you feed very slow, it will work, but the other way around ... it will certainly not. Furthermore, a cross table would be a nice investment for these parts ... However, I do prefer Russ' way.

    Sam, Catheads look real good, not to say marvelous. You shouldn't be working on the front and the back end at the same time! Just pulling your leg. What happened? I see it's wrong, but you measure everything tripple, so I can't understand it ...

    What's in a name ... it's abird too

    So I should wait on the outcome of your wild guess?

    Can't you cut a new one from stock ... it may seem a fuss, but you are building a plank on frame hull ...

    Wild guess ... MV Sygna

    Robert, Everybody who does not speaks another language then English, will have problems. We all try our best and everybody on the forum will keep that in mind. If you need help tpo translate you can try google translate or go to vertalen.nu if you want to translate a word. The more posts you make, the easier it gets

    Even for a try out they look stunning, i.e. the hand railing. I was thinking about cutting slivers of a brass tubing or tranches from a dowel for the portholes ... On the Sea Witch I'm building I used walnut which I cut at 2mm to handle and sanded it back to 0.5mm so I still have a 'hight' difference.

    He, he, thought you only showed someone else's pictures, just to make us drool I know Harriet needed attention :D I'm glad you're taking time for Emma C. and get those dockyard workers in line

    Jason, You could photoetch the letters yourself. On the other hand, I like the look of it the way you have done it now.

    Looking very sharp indeed! Top job on mounting the frames.

    So far you've been sudoku-ing along quite nicely when I look at your King, John!

    I don't know how I missed this build of the Emma C., and a very instructive log to! She looks very prommissing Time passes quickly, it's a pitty model boat building can't get in the way of life sometimes! On the other hand, it keeps it special ...

    It looks like they took every inch of canvas and hung it out to dry

    Garward, I can't find those blocks on the floor anywhere ...

    John, She doesn't feel like a real King, she is a real King (maybe more a Queen). Those stacks sure make a difference

    Robbyn, I'll copy your jig. Be sitting right beside Sam, following your hesitant advances in the big unknown world of rigging - maybe distract the teacher a bit now and again Have a great time, see you when you are back again
  22. cog
    Russ, I remember this one. I enloyed the log tremendously. Looking forward to the 'development'. It's good to see her back coming a live.
  23. cog
    That's a very intreguing build you set out on. Very clean workmanship on the keel and the frames!

    Sorry to hear that Keith. Often irreplaceable moments are lost when you loose an item such as a camera.

    Adrieke, How did your next effort installing the railing turn out?

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.
