    I’m in. 👍

    This is so fun! 😁

    Welcome aboard Fox. Feel free to look at my Lady Nelson build and ask all the questions you want. I did, that’s how you learn and grow in the hobby. 👍😀

    Congratulations Sir! Outstanding! Now… what’s next? 😁

    I usually say something like OUTSTANDING, but this gets an additional unreal, unbelievable, stupendous or something like that. Really nice Chris! 👍😀

    Hi Jason, welcome to the forum. 👍😀

    Thanks John, Just my .02, but I thought the same of my planking on the Lady Nelson and afterwords thought “show me a perfectly planked ship (in real life) and I’ll show you a museum piece”. After all the wooden recreational and fishing boats I’ve seen (even the Lady Washington), planking imperfection seems to be part of the game, especially over time. Your bulwarks look fine! 👍😀

    You definitely have the “uniformity” thing down. 😀 What’s your secret?
  9. Dave_E
    Second that! 👍

    Looking good John! How long is each plank? What are you following for the planking?
  11. Dave_E
    I’m afaraid to ask how you built that motor and how long it took. 🫣

    Hi John, welcome to the forum! 👍😀
  13. Dave_E
    That base really finishes off the build! Very nice indeed. 👍😀

    I concur with Glenn. NRG notified me via email. Can’t do better than that. 👍
  15. Dave_E
    OUTSTANDING! Nothing else to say. 👍😀

    Did you say that out loud in your Darth Vader voice? 😆 Sorry, couldn’t resist.

    Hi Kale, welcome! 😀
  18. Dave_E
    Sorry I’m late.

    Hey Bill, why did you leave all your eyelets bare metal? I joined the build late, sorry if you answered this before.

    Hi Glenn, I’m surprised on this build to see how much building there is to do before actual planking begins. I’m fortunate to have 3 members building the same ship, and all are relatively close in their building stages, sort of like the MSW group builds. 👍😀

    Hi Nearshore, That’s the way it works here. Most of what you see me do, I learned from someone here on the MSW forum (my cradle is an example). 😀 Ask questions! Glad to have you aboard. What’s your name?
  22. Dave_E
    Hi All, Moving along nicely. I had 2 bulkheads glued on when I noticed I did not have the rabbet cut, so I experienced my first lesson on releasing wood glue. Took them off, cut the rabbets and then got the bulkheads on. 😑
  23. Dave_E
    Good on you Brother. Look upwards to heaven and smile, letting God know he runs things! 🙏👍😀

    Hi Mike, welcome to the forum! What ships have you built? What are you thinking about building next?
  25. Dave_E
    What scale are you building when you do this real marlin spike?

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.
