    It's actually not that hard to do. All I did on mine was trace the outline of the quarter badges onto some basswood of an appropriate thickness of basswood and with careful cutting and filing, and sanding, it took me about an hour to make each one. Andy

    I'm with Chris on this one...make yourself a new one from scratch... at least... that's what I would do. You may have to make a few attempts at it, but when you finally got it right, you'd be much happier. Andy

    I guess that goes to show you that snacks are ok... as long as it's popcorn. Everything else carries too great a risk. Andy

    Incredibly painstaking work, very nicely done

    I'm talking about different men in white coats..... The ones that take you away to a nice padded room......
  6. realworkingsailor
    You just keep saying that to yourself....... I'll send for the nice men in the white coats to come and get you

    Ahem....I have no reason to call Anja names... Sjors is delusional....

    Hey Sjors: :P :P :P

    In Newfoundland you just have to wait five minutes

    But there is at least one big nut.. A nice paint job, like everyone says, I do like the paler yellow, separates them from the English a bit more... Andy

    Incredibly well done! I don't disagree with your decision to paint her, for the reasons you gave. In the name of consistency, she should be painted. Or... you could chalk this up as a separate model and finish it up un-painted and display it on it's own.... (just sayin', is all ) Andy

    Hey Sjors... grab a broom, you're needed in the lounge.... someone's spilling peanuts all over the place... and you've been volun-told to clean up duties..

    Very nice planking. Andy
  14. realworkingsailor
    Just trying to keep you focused, is all

    It didn't take you too long to get back on the go after your mishap. Looks good, hopefully nothing more will go amiss. Andy

    I think I pretty much intend on following Chuck's instructions to the letter (as best I can). As for a building board, I plan on tacking down a couple pieces of quarter round moulding to a good plank. Andy

    I'll put the men in the white coats on standby.... Not to drag him off to some padded room or something... Just have them ready to puff him with a bag of sawdust every now and again...
  18. realworkingsailor
    I can understand.... a rare sunny day for you..(Nice deck BTW) Andy
  19. realworkingsailor
    Many people have done just that. It can look really good when well executed. Andy

    May the tear out be theraputic and satisfying!
  21. realworkingsailor
    Looks like you're off to a good start. I'm holding off on mine until I get my Pegasus finished (I'm guessing another year or so for that), so I can concentrate exclusively on the Confed. It has all the hallmarks of a masterfully executed kit. Did you get the canon and figurehead replacements from Chuck? Andy
  22. realworkingsailor
    See Sjors! I told you he was up to something! Still don't know exactly what..... That Popeye can be real cagey when he want's to be.. Andy

    I dunno Sjors..... he's up to something....
  25. realworkingsailor
    Great start, and good choice for your firts build. I'm sure you'll enjoy building her. Another resource for tools that is local to both you and I, is George's Trains in Markham. Clamps, pin vices, files, paint, whatever Andy

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.
