    Mobbsie, I would say no. 3 port from this side on the lower row of gun ports is somewhat high (is that the same as your no 6?) Congrats on your establishment. What's the average age of a midshipmen during the nineteen hundreds ... Don't expect you'll be finished planking for to long ... It's doubled planked ...? You're a lucky bloke.

    High explosives ... hmmm, that's a blast for a change! As is with all animals ... you can't give enough, as far as treats and 'jummy' things, they'll eat until they puke, and after that continue, you never know when you get to eat again

    Sam, Maybe some Muy Tai will help. Probably not ... But you know: Work arounds have been invented just for these precious moments. I know, I've had a few myself ... Some soothing food might help your feline fury against sudden urges ...?

    Well done Sjors, very nice your gratings. Do you have something on the side with it ... ?

    I'm a complete CAD nerd. That is to say, I know my way around software - I should as a programmer (it seems) - but CAD is new to me. I've been looking for programs - preferably free, yes I'm Dutch - which could be used by a layman. So far I've tried DELFTship, and autoCAD. DELFTship is cumbersome, and unfortunately autoCAD is rather expensive for what it will be used. Today I found another program: Draftsight. It's free, 2D and 3D, uses DXF files, runs on Windows/Linux/MAC. So I'll try this one, and have a look at the - hopefully not to complicated - engine under the hood.

    Michael, I see you are still making nice progress. Deck is looking superb. You do know bending over like that is very bad for your back, even for a mini you!!!

    Sarah, I've been silently following your build, as I will continue to do, keep it up. You are making good progress.

    Michael, Saw your thread and started reading it. You can convert a jpg/jpeg to a dxf file with WinTopo. They have a free and a Pro version. I presume the free will do for what we do with it.

    That's some lovely rigging you've done. With these pictures it looks much, much better. The pictures from you mobile gave a good impression though

    Another good tool Garward. You work(ed) for a tool company??? You've got jigs, bits, and tools for everything, and if you don't have them, you just make them!!!

    Sarah, He'll be making old fashioned coke bottles with his window maker, bear and spinach tins from brass tubes, and rubber bands from strips o' paper. He'll probably has it all worked out already!

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.
