    Great choice in both hardware and software. I'm sure you will be happy with it.

    Quote...."It's just a pity about those wood grains that are too obvious" As a fairly new member that has not submitted my build log, I did not realize that we should be hiding wood grains. Since I like wood, I am certainly not planning to hide it. We are in fact building wood models of wooden ships. I certainly will reconsider posting my building log of Ancre 1/48 scale wooden model of "L'Egyptienne" Greg

    Hi Gene, welcome to MSW. I am also thinking of Winchelsea but my plan is to use a CNC mill and 3D Printing. Perhaps we should share ideas.

    Hello

    JGR replied to JGR's topic in New member Introductions

    Thanks all for the warm welcome. I have decided on the model HMS Badger for my build. Hi Ryland, I am looking forward to trying out some of my ideas on the FDM printer but the Resin printer will give a better finish and more detail in small items. I do most of my design work in Fusion 360 so the output STL file will work in both just need a different slicer program. I am going to change the nozzle size and adjust other parameters to see what result I get. Hi Allan. I am in Spring Hill about 30 miles north of Tampa

    Hello, my name is Greg. I have not built a model in over 50 years and at that time it was mainly plastic. I am an hobby cabinet maker, hobby machinist (both manual and CNC machining), and lately beginning to use a 3D printer. Now that I am retired I am looking forward to building Wooden Ship Models from 1700 to 1900, particularly the Nelson era ships. I would like to integrate my machining and 3D printing with wooden model ship building and can see interesting opportunities. At present I have a FDM printer and plan to move into 3D Resin Printer. I look forward to sharing thoughts and ideas with other members. My home is in Ontario Canada but I spend my winters in Florida.

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.
