    I have always been a miniature enthusiast. I am happiest when I am creating something I’ve never made before, especially something scratch-built. I’ve worked with many different materials but wood is my go-to.

    It's absolutely no problem 😊 Thank you so much for the info! Next time I'll do more research before I post a question. It's so obvious now haha.

    I've made a plank bending jig from pegboard. I glued 3 layers together and added wooden dowel pins. Now that my walnut planks have arrived I can focus my attention back on planking the hull. I find this step to be incredibly intimidating 😳 Wish me luck!

    Hi Phil, I refer to your build log frequently as I build my own Albatros. You do such lovely work 😊 My kit has a bell that appears to be mounted on a sort of boxy shelter with a glass front. I didn't see a bell on your deck and so was wondering if the glass was an accurate historical detail. I've seen photos of the bell in all sorts of hanging contraptions but not on an enclosed box. What is the purpose of the glass front? Do you have any suggestions for me before I put this together? Thank you in advance😄

    I like that you've kept the natural wood. 👌Beautifully detailed work!
  21. Rach10199
    Beautiful!

    Hi Nazir, Just wondering if you ever got that pdf file on the rigging for the Albatros? If so, I would love to see it!

    This is beautiful! 😄👍

    This is insanely tiny! 😊👍

    It's been a few days and I'm patiently waiting for my walnut planking strips to arrive 🙄. In the meantime, the keel clamp I ordered did arrive so I made a base for it as it came w/o one. I also put together the little life boat that came with my kit. I glued all of the layers together and applied a sealer to the whole thing after sanding the hull. I then applied a coat of white acrylic, sanded, more acrylic, sanded a tiny bit more but not much then more acrylic. After it dried I applied a coat of polyurethane semi-gloss. Honestly this little boat was the best part of the kit so far! I think it turned out pretty well, though I could've paid more attention to the rudder. I'll probably take a blade to it to make some defining lines.

    I've removed the flimsy balsa planks and MUCH attention was repaid to fairing the hull more on the advice of @GuntherMT (thank you!) It's almost where I want it to be so the sanding continues..

    Hello andrew2! I, too, am a newcomer here. You will come to discover, as I have, the people here are insanely knowledgeable in this area of modeling and are super helpful. I have had such a great experience thus far! Have fun above all else 😄

    I use these sticks frequently for use in my other miniature projects. What a great idea as planking!
  30. Rach10199
    This is, well, outstanding👍 That adjective seems too weak for an achievement of this magnitude. Gorgeous details down to the last "bootstrap". 🤩
  31. Rach10199
    Excellent! Thank you 😄

    Yes!!

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.
