    I had forgotten Dad made the gun barrels. I remember the fold-up picnic table in Dad's workshop[ with the keel laid out.

    Managed to do a bit of the mahogany layer on bottom over the summer going about it in a strange way likely but I find the flat bottom quite different to the usual ship hull 9I also had an idea to add the engine and have the compartment open spent time looking at Chris Craft engines from the late 1930’s seems to be inline 6 usually I searched for 3D inline 6 engines and found a few sinam printing sample parts to see if they will work gone back to my Morgan for a change of pace for now

    Beautifully done Glen on my brother Ian’s ‘twigged’ it apparently is an informal British word meaning ‘to realize ‘ I did not realize it was not a common term either….. 🤔

    I finished the balsa layer of planking. still some shaping to do then I move on to mahogany layer. i also put together the seats. I have been thinking of ordering faux leather or real thin leather for the seat cushions to make it look more interesting.

    Looking great! have fun at the cottage

    Well, after many attempts at 3D print I managed to make progress on the windlass and the foremast mast band i realized during this how far out if scale the belaying pins are on my model These would be baseball bats if not belaying ropes on my Morgan i may sand them smaller but then the pin rails would have giant holes ah well…
  22. rookie
    Update to my Tinkering with Tinkercad and 3D printing here’s a photo showing many trial prints and wood pieces along with the ‘skewer’ that has the current 3D parts i believe I still have some changes as I expected these parts to be a bit wide : suspect I messed up measurements somewhere I include photo from CWM herself
  23. rookie
    I completed the ‘floor’ planks the inner side planks have a difficult twist struggling a bit with those at the moment
  24. rookie
    I am working on balsa layer of planking i saw a picture of actual boat that shows the planking has a bit of an upward sweep at the shear as well as quite a weird shape at the bow , that deep cut or twist below the chines seen here not obvious in the instructiions

    While I mull over what to do about 3D print of boats, I decided to stop stalling and get the windlass done. the parts in AL kit for this are real bad. I attach a photo i am modifying some of those parts and building it based on actual photos and my best guess Her3 is photo of some of the parts I completed so far. The drum at each end I whittled down from kit and shaped based on real ship. i also used my 3D printer for the ratchet gear in the centre of the windlass I am considering doing the main parts of the body with the metal pieces it wind the chain, still learning how to draw with Tinkercad et al so will see how it goes

    Your galley is the coolest boat you have built, I have to say.

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.
