    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.

    I have circled the two planks I was referencing. I  was just wondering if there was another way to maintain that height without having to have the to plankIMG_9930.thumb.jpeg.a0a43b9d281bac63aacc36861986cad2.jpeg.a6a28d1ea41548c9cac9f0bd91fc765d.jpeg get so narrow.

    In picture #301, I was looking at the top plank at the transom, and it has an end that tapers to"0". Is there a way to make this to avoid such a fragile end and still retain the height you need? Just a thought, not suggesting I know of a better way.

    Been working hard the last few months, I have completed 90% of Chapter 11, need to order swivel guns when Chuck gets back from vacation.
  27. woodartist
    that is a lot of sanding, what did you use to get it so even?
  28. woodartist
    it was an awesome day for the Mariners!! My boatyard time has been disrupted too. I took three days off to go watch them play.
  29. woodartist
    Really clean build!
  30. woodartist
    For those who have built your kits, and considering the time, effort, and expense of building a quality ship, they will not be seduced into buying an inferior kit. Those that do so will notice what could have been and that is a horrible realization. Been there done that, will not repeat the mistake!!
  31. woodartist
    Chuck you have always been there for all of us and we need for you to take care of yourself first. Rest, recover, relax!!
  32. woodartist
    I whole agree. I bought 2 pairs and with the second pair I filed the v a little deeper to accept larger pins.
  33. woodartist
    the pdf files really help.Thanks so much, I will figure this out somehow.
  34. woodartist
    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?
  35. woodartist
    Thanks, I am sure you are correct

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.
