    I will do a build log. If you see me getting off track, keep me from jumping off a cliff, 😁

    I have been working on the boat a lot, but have not posted for awhile, I rarely take my phone with me when I got to the shipyard, I do not want to be interrupted. I will post soon when the boat is finished. Doing last final details now.

    I agree, I enjoyed seeing what you were able to do with a milling machine, so i took your advice and got a Proxxon mill and orderd a new Byrnes table saw and planer. I also wanted to try and do a scratch build. So I found a partial plan that I liked for a steam tug that was used for moving log barges for the local saw mills in our community. A MSW member who is a skilled CAD user is helping me by providing the drawings for the keel and bulkheads. I am anxious to start on the new model, but have about three weeks work left to finish Winchelsia.

    looks like a great place to get a lot of work done

    I would like to build a POB tug from scratch. I have photos, plans, but they do not include bulkheads or keel drawings. I have no CAD experience and I am unable to create scale drawings for the bulkheads and keel. Is anyone interested in creating them for a fee?
  24. woodartist
    i agree
  25. woodartist
    I am a newbie too, I have only been doing this for four years. I try and find a new boat that will force me to learn some new skills and reinforce the skills already learned.
  26. woodartist
    Be careful with the solution, keep each of the brass parts separate from each other.If they are in the solution too long and touching they tend to "glue" together and when you separate them you have uneven surfaces and gaps.

    Thanks for your comments. That is actually a Greater Yellow legs. If you look closely the sand dollar and the sea shells were also carved from wood. I also carved a couple of Sanderlings, a close cousin of the sand piper

    I started doing model ships 4 years ago when the arthritis started. Before that for 30 years my hobby was woodcarving. I carved everything but enjoyed doing birds most of all. I lost use of my right arm in 2010 so relearned to carve with just my left hand, not as fast as before. Working with wood soothes the soul like nothing else.

    The acoustic guitar was perfect, well done, I can feel how much you enjoyed the project, i enjoyed it as well.

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.
