    Welcome aboard! This might be of interest:

    I complete understand the siren song that calls out...
  3. EricWilliamMarshall
    I also did a bit of rigging.
  4. EricWilliamMarshall
    I dyed the remaining string from the kit, to be used for the running lines.
  5. EricWilliamMarshall
    Small world - I work for Rutgers! Glad to hear everyone is doing well! Bob, the sails look great!
  6. EricWilliamMarshall
    A bit of needle work.
  7. EricWilliamMarshall
    Ha ha, I’m still thinking about a work cradle! But your query has prompted me to think... hmm... I’ll share if something clever strikes me.
  8. EricWilliamMarshall
    I love the use of paper towel cardboard for clamping!
  9. EricWilliamMarshall
    Tell me about!
  10. EricWilliamMarshall
    Wow! You have come a long way from the the Opium Schooner! Very impressive!! (Thanks again for sharing the photos, I just referred to them to figure out how one of the stays is placed.)
  11. EricWilliamMarshall
    Thanks for the kind words! Little by little!!
  12. EricWilliamMarshall
    The next step
  13. EricWilliamMarshall
    So I finished Step 15.
  14. EricWilliamMarshall
    A wee bit more work on the rigging.
  15. EricWilliamMarshall
    Rkwz, are you happy with the stand you are using? Looks great!
  16. EricWilliamMarshall
    I find for myself this is the case. I’m not usually burdened with the ‘prefect being the enemy of good’ problem though. It looks good in the photos. If it continues to bother you, then think though replacement or augmentation, but my hunch is, the deck is just fine and given deck furniture, masts, rigging, etc. you will be quick happy with it. Let us know.
  17. EricWilliamMarshall
    I have to ask, what’s next?
  18. EricWilliamMarshall
    I love the old bingo numbers idea!! In any case (pun intended), she looks great!
  19. EricWilliamMarshall
    A little bit of progress on the rigging- I’m getting a little bit faster but it is slower than I would like.
  20. EricWilliamMarshall
    More block work. I used 28 gauge copper wire (blackened chemically - but it wears away easily) on the blocks. My tools are a regular pair of snips, xacto blade and a regular pin (head snipped off and mounted in a pin vise). The pin is the correct diameter loop making as it fits the dyed string I'm using for the standing rigging.
  21. EricWilliamMarshall
    Nicely done!!
  22. EricWilliamMarshall
    I hear that! I just tell myself: my early work (I.e. what I’m doing now), will help show how much I have improved later!
  23. EricWilliamMarshall
    I agree!! They are like ship modeling school!
  24. EricWilliamMarshall
    To my everlasting relief...
  25. EricWilliamMarshall
    Wefalck, is there one or two you would recommend (in English, if possible)?

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.
