    I have never used a cad program before for starts, however I have downloaded the free version of the software, I am trying to import plans. I have the same plans in jpeg, bmp, and tif files. I would like to learn how to use the software but can not find a basic tutorial to get started. I thought that if if loaded in some boat plans that I have that it would be a place to start. But when i try to load the plans into the app it appears that Delftship only recognize fbm or bak files. How can i proceed? Is there a basic tutorial online?

    I was referring to a post you made on 9/23 #26 that shows a photo of the gun deck hatches. I got the Proxxon mill you recommended and was starting to make hatches with it so I was looking at your early posts when you described the process.

    The grating at the bow in blue is proud of the frame, all the rest are flush with the frame? Is that intentional?

    These cutters that mtbediz is referring to can be found on Amazon, I have bought the .05-09 mm bits in a 10 pack and they were perfect

    i have a small 10x10 workshop in my back yard. I used to do a lot of wood carving and taught small classes in my shop. Now it is my boatyard.
  29. woodartist
    me too, I am about 4 weeks from finishing Winchelsia and looking for the next project

    The diagonal line in the photo just forward of the large opening that is in the Captain's quarters, I presume, shows an interruption in the planking pattern and I am wondering what the reason/purpose of that interruption.
  31. woodartist
    What is the historical purpose of the "slight off set/change in width" in planking on the stern? It appears that the planks are the same thickness.
  32. woodartist
    i am sure that it is somewhere in this blog but i have not found it, when do you anticipate the Surprise being ready for sale?
  33. woodartist
    thanks I will research further on the machines, software and 3D forum
  34. woodartist
    Is anyone using a lazer cutter to make parts? What equipment are you using? What software are you using? Any recommendations?
  35. woodartist
    can you elaborate as to what minor alignment errors you made, it may help some of us who want to build this avoid them in the future?

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.
