    Outstanding Sir! One photo there, I had to double take a look cause it looked like a photo of a real ship and the sea. I know it’s supposed to. 😄

    Hey Cisco, I love your description of not making progress. 😆 Your work is outstanding, looking good! 👍

    I never did chime in on the outstanding build. I hope mine comes close. For #2… excellent build Sir! 👍😀

    Gunners mate… I think we’ll take these ten 6 pound cannons for our new ship Rattlesnake! Back to the ship. 😄

    Why do we subject ourselves to this? Two hours of listening to some righteous 70’s rock and getting red ocre all over my fingertips. 😆

    Hi All, Thanks Andrew. I’m actually pretty busy being retired. Volunteer facilities worker at my church, in the worship band, president of my home owners association with a wife and house to take care of… and I’m a chess fanatic. However, I am involved with the build on a slower scale. I found a chamfer scraper on Amazon for $12. Also building the cannons. Built a jig for the rigging when the time comes.

    One of these days I really will get back to building the hull. 😆

    OUTSTANDING Tom! Really nice work! 😀

    Quite the discussion, thank you all. Food for thought! The soldering is out of my wheelhouse but I so admire the fellas that can do that! Trying to solder a gap on a ring that might only be 2 mm in diameter has never crossed my mind. Having good cuts of the ring can make the joint as invisible as a solder joint in my mind. I’m also using darkened annealed wire of various thicknesses. Lots of good ideas here to ponder and try. 👍😀

    If got the thickness of the wire down and the ID down, but it’s the cutting that I’m having issues with. Getting a nice flush cut is imperative and then cutting so you end up with a nice circle. 😳

    Outstanding Mike! Nice work! 👍😀

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.
