    Thanks, This has been a very rewarding journey. There are some really awesome examples and it is hard not to compare ones work to those, nonethe less completing each task and chapter is so exhilarating that it motivates you to face the next challenge with a smile. Your guidance and others makes it all possible.

    It has been 6 months since I last posted but I have been diligently working. However, Chapter three took me a very long time. It is very detailed work and trying to do it with just one hand created a lot of challenges and i ad repeated do overs in the process. The final product is not without flaws but it the best I could muster. I simply do not have the capability to be as precise as the masters that exist on this site. Nonetheless, I really enjoy the challenge.

    I absolutely love the precision of all that you do
  10. woodartist
    this is absolutely beautiful.

    My congratulations too each of you.

    It looks like you have really put the milling machine to good use. It would be a nice item to have. Probably more useful than a Byrnes table saw, since there are sources for finished wood planks and sheets.

    OMG if I was 10 years younger, I may have been interested 😊 , however it is a huge commitment, you better be in love with it!!

    What is best to use on the aluminum sanding discs to remove the sanding sheet and glue on disc?

    I really enjoyed looking thru his build log, he was creative and it looks like he never completed the rigging but the ship is really well done.
  18. woodartist
    awesome.
  19. woodartist
    I totally agree!! Your sharing of your progress and process is invaluable to those of us just learning how to do these models with integrity. Thanks
  20. woodartist
    i concur!!
  21. woodartist
    Glen, It is awesome!! I have just started the journey, 6 months of work and I am only 1/2 way thru Chapter 2. I have been using your build log as one of my references since I started and it has been immensely helpful.
  22. woodartist
    did you stain your Cherry wood or just apply WOP?
  23. woodartist
    Having a milling machine is a great asset. How long does it take to be efficient with a milling machine. Does it require a lot of additional attachments?

    i have been working on planking the wales and above the wales for a month and needed a break, so I printed off a color copy of the friezes for the stern. Looking at them I thought I would try and apply some iridescent gold paint to see if I could enhance them. I painted the left side and not the right so you could compare the before and after. This was just an experiment, I have not decided if I will actually do it. I have painted birds that I have carved for years and I am accustomed to painting very fine feather details, but do not know if it would be appropriate on a boat. Looking at the other friezes that go by the gun ports there are some details that I could enhance with painting but maybe I should leave well enough alone. Thoughts?

    really lovely work, nice to see, hope mine ends up half as nice

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.
