    Chuck, if you offer the kit in 1/32 (3/8'') I'll take this, if not I will take the model in 1/24 (1/2''). I love the design. I hope that you will offer the kit in pear (which is more common in Europe) or box.
  2. AnobiumPunctatum
    Chuck, looks like a really nice side project. I am looking forward and hope that you offer the model also in different part kits as you do for the Cheerful.

    Dan, as I've expected another wonderful masterpiece. I like your x-section very much and think it will be a nice add on for my own project. Thanks for sharing

    Welcome on board of the Triton shipyards. It's nice to see another section, that will be build.

    I cross my fingers and wish you a lot of success for the repair.

    I use normally veneer for treenails, if I need a diameter smaller 0.7mm. For pear I uss pear treenails. I cut small square strips. Then I draw them 3-4 times through the draw plate. They are not perfectly round, but I can hammering them in the whole. After this the are round.

    Why do you apologize? The styrene kits are some times better than wooden kits. It's not the material, it#s the model builder who makes the model. I'll follow your log with great interest

    I love your build, Albert, Really excellent work

    The type of ship doesn't really matter. I prefer ships between 1750 and 1785. A ketch rigged sloop in a larger scale (1/48; 1/32), perhaps a bomb vessel, but historically accurate. There are more than enough fantasy and bad designed kits in the market What I think is really necessary: a new or very old way of commercialisation of kits. I think it is a good idea to offer a kit in different parts. Most of us like good quality wood (box, pear, ...) but this is very expensive and in my opinion not a good option for a kit as it will offered today. The kit will become expensive and less costumer will buy it. So my idea is to offer the kit in three, perhaps five parts -Part 1: bulkheads and drawings -Part 2: wood for building the hull (perhaps in two different qualities: lower quality basswood; higher quality: pear) -Part 3: fittings (Chucks way with laercut parts is a really good way) -Part 4: Mast and spars (perhaps also i two qualities); blocks and so on -Part 5: Rigging Material The modeller can choose the qualities and don't need to buy every part in one time. The problem is, that the company needs a bigger store.

    Really wonderful, Dan.
  11. AnobiumPunctatum
    But I hope you only use it, for separating parts
  12. AnobiumPunctatum
    Absolust brilliant model building. This is one of the models, where I think, model building is art. The model can serve as master for all of us.

    Beautyful framing job. What's about planking the hull over the waterline? I am abit curious that you oiled the complete hull. I've made the experience, that wood glue don't work on oiled timber.

    Fantastic progress, Dan
  15. AnobiumPunctatum
    Nice to see another update from your build.
  16. AnobiumPunctatum
    Great progress, Erik
  17. AnobiumPunctatum
    As allway, very impressive work, Paul
  18. AnobiumPunctatum
    Really clever little jig. Thanks for sharing
  19. AnobiumPunctatum
    Hi Niklas, Very clean work. I take a seat and a glas of wine for me please.
  20. AnobiumPunctatum
    Congrats for this beautyful model and thanks for your build log. It was a great pleasure for me to follow your progress.
  21. AnobiumPunctatum
    Really wonderful work, Toni
  22. AnobiumPunctatum
    Wonderful, Mike. How do you want to cut the rabbet on the keel?
  23. AnobiumPunctatum
    Really interesting solutions. That's a very consequent way, to build your model. Well done.
  24. AnobiumPunctatum
    Does exist a description how do you paint the baseboard? Or can you make a small how to? I like it very much.
  25. AnobiumPunctatum
    Really nice progress, Toni

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.
