    Hi All, As I follow many of the outstanding examples of nautical history here on MSW, I am continually amazed at the artistry and intricacy that went into the building of a wooden ship that went out to sea and got blasted to splinters. All the carvings, fancy railing, all the way down to the furniture I imagine. I thought about this while watching tall ship movies as the ships got cannon ball-itis, but seeing the examples of ships with their artistry and color that are made here on MSW just makes my head spin. 😀 Its a pleasure to constantly watch and view such wonderful works that keep nautical history alive.

    I’m pulling up a chair. I find myself more and more intrigued by this thing you call “card”. 🙂

    Watching your progress is making me consider doing my Half Hull before I start the Rattlesnake. 🙂

    Hi There, Go to the new members thread and introduce yourself. That’s where you will meet the crew, make friends and go from there. 👍😀

    Hi Hammer, WELCOME to the forum! 👍😀

    Hi Hammer, There are a few things that you will find among ship builders. If you ask an equal number of builders about whether they want sails furled, under sail, or no sails, you will an unlimited number of opinions. This also applies to using ca glue, and using nails for planking. Dig in with your research, study many build logs and then decide what you want to try and go for it. If you build one ship and you don’t like what happened, do it differently on your next. Welcome aboard! 👍😀

    Sweet Bill! Thank you for sharing Brother! 👍😎

    See what happens Bill, you put your feet in the picture and your ship building thread got highjacked with vacation and retirement talk. 😂

    I’d be fibbing if I said I wouldn’t want to be in your (flip flops) about now. 😎

    Hi Dave, WOW! Simply outstanding! What have you done with all the ships you’ve built? Going to start the Agamemnon?
  16. Dave_E
    NICE! 👍😀
  17. Dave_E
    NICE! I think Ive seen every plane on that deck in action except one. 😀

    Hi Doug, Welcome to the forum! 👍😀

    Your choice of CA is not a bad one. Step back 3’ and if you cannot easily detect the issue at hand (and you have the eye for it)… standardize from this moment forward if you wish. My .02 for what it’s worth. The ship is beautiful at this point! 👍😀
  21. Dave_E
    I’d be interested in your process.

    Outstanding Dan! Excellent work and detail. When you start the half hull… do a build log? 👍😀
  23. Dave_E
    Looks really good.👍😀

    Decided to hang the starboard anchor... no real reason why. I've seen others do this and decided it fits. Now on to the rope coils. After I took the previous pics, I noticed the lines were not taught on the block and tackle for the anchor, so I tried some shellac magic. It worked. 😁 l

    Sounds like words of wisdom to me. 👍😀

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.
