Permission to come aboard . . . . again
Duanelaker replied to Peanut6's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome back! I consider myself a newer member compared to a lot of the members here, but I wouldn’t try and align to any way of logs and just do your own thing. By the sounds of it the way your backgrounds affect how you would do your log seem the best way of doing things. I’ll be interested in seeing your log as that was my first wood model I built. -
Welcome to the site! I personally would start smaller unless you have some experience. I’ve built a few smaller models in the last few years and that one looks like it’s tough! Best of luck on whatever you decide, but my advice is start small, invest less, and enjoy!

Welcome, you have much talent!

1972 Chevelle Malibu, I’ve had it for 20 years now and have restored it as a novice. 10 footer for sure, but I did put a 5-speed in it

Yes, i had a hole in my eardrum so the surgery was not too terrible, i was actually surprised how it really did effect me for the last few weeks! Thank you for the compliments, currently i have ordered more basswood so i can attempt my cap rail...i think i've tried 3 times already and not been pleased. I've also drilled for my main masts and my angle is close, but the dowels are super warped! Not sure how to fix that so i ordered a few new ones.

Duanelaker replied to JonSnow's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome! Model expo has some nice beginner models and a great selection overall...best of luck! -
Welcome to the site! I’m in no way an expert or even a novice, but I have had best luck plank bending with the solder iron type plank bending (after soaking in water), as well as the travel iron. I used the crimping style once and never tried again. Best of luck! I have the same kit in my stash as it is a nice little ship!

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.
