    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

    I completed the ‘floor’ planks the inner side planks have a difficult twist struggling a bit with those at the moment

    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.

    I would have no clue about knurlinf these days looks like the handle on this one is not brazed, just passed through head and hammered down Fun times
  18. rookie
    You mean this grade 9 hammer?
  19. rookie
    what is a 'tailstock offset' ?
  20. rookie
    Wow! I had no idea you had a wood lathe i have been toying with getting a mini one but have nowhere to put it. it would be handy , also a mini tilt table saw but also lack of space the mast looks great
  21. rookie
    I think the layers also make it difficult to shape the sheer line swoop for lack of a better word from the side the hull drops down amidships
  22. rookie
    I have been experimenting with 3D printer for the boats I found a Beetle Whaleboat file on a 3D site and have printed a few at this scale the detail is rough though that may indicate my ‘rookie’ level ability with 3D printing My brother said to get resin printer which looks like good advice at the moment heres a couple samples from todays printing effort one with empty hull and one with seats etc also one showing scale beside Morgan i may print slightly larger, the empty shell could be the upside down spare or I may print all empties and fill in details with wood
  23. rookie
    Interesting that kit uses layers for the boats i have spent a lot of time looking at how to build boats the AL kit provided frames way too big and chunky and only a couple anyway i found a 3D file of Beetle whaleboat online but having difficulty experimenting with printing it at this scale i suspect the filament printer is not good at small detail and also I have only printed a few things for my son and his Milwaukee Packout tool system I will post the 3D soon on my CWM build if I get anything useful
  24. rookie
    I decided to begin yet another of the models on my shelf. it is a whaleboat of European origin, I assume i can work on this while glue dries on other models I am building 😬 here are some shots of building the frames
  25. rookie
    Wow! I had the same thing with a sink drain the trap is all glued so I bought the threaded parts to replace it have not gotten around to the replacement part yet ….
  26. rookie
    Colours look great! you may have to store it in the garage or start doing push-ups

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.
