    Hi Bob! I just completed a workshop with David Anscherl and Greg Herbert on headworks. I have a new appreciation for how complicated the work in that area is. Once again, well done!

    Beautiful job on the head works, Bob.

    Great job on the rigging so far,David. First rate!

    The Fair American (MS) is 1:48 scale; the Rattlesnake (MS) is 1:64 scale. If the Rattler were in 1:48 scale, it would be 1/3 again as long as it is in 1:64 - clearly the larger vessel. The problem is that the Fair American is a model of a model...original plans for the vessel don't exist, so some speculation may have been involved.

    Here's the current status of this build. All the deck furniture has been glued in place except the tiller, which hasn't got any poly yet either. I just completed the railings, and I still have to build the cannon carriages, swivel guns and swivel gun supports before I start rigging. The masts and sprit are just sitting in place.

    Amazing work. Are the spacers permanent or temporary? How did you fasten them in place?
  22. DocBlake
    Beautiful job! I especially like the binnacle/companionway!
  23. DocBlake
    Very nicely done, Michael. I like the new stand.

    Glad you weathered the storm, Bob.

    Nice laser work. Those parts should really enhance the model. Keep up the good work!

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.
