    Cool! I'll climb aboard. Todd

    Your work is simply outstanding. Your attention to details is admirable. I'm really enjoying seeing her come together. Todd

    I believe it's called a "skirt". I use this method. just 2 passes about 4mm away to make sure the nozzle is good and primed. Todd

    Nice work on adding depth to the flat printed details. That's a great addition to the model. Todd

    Thanks for the extra info on the machine. Much Appreciated. Todd

    Nice. I've read good things about the Photon X. I have an FDM printer, but I'm very interested in getting a resin printer due to there ability to produce much finer details on small parts.

    Dang! That's outstanding! Todd

    Well done, Sir! I love the 3d prints. And, your painting and shading of them is wonderful. Which printer are you using? Todd

    Your work continues to amaze! Adding the crew in such interesting poses will certainly bring the model to life. So much more than just a ship. Todd

    Cool! I have this kit waiting in the wings as well. Spent four weeks aboard her on my 3rd Class Midshipman cruise in the summer 1985. What an amazing piece of machinery. An engineering marvel from stem to stern. I look forward to following along. Todd

    Congrats! She looks fabulous! Todd

    Looking great! I've been searching for good photos and details of USN versions. But, I've not found much so far. Best I've found is some pictures and a 3d model of USS Saucy. But, I'm not sure how accurate that is. Todd

    Great job! This is one that has always been on my list. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Todd
  14. Prowler901
    Outstanding work! They are both lovely models. Looking forward to following the RC set up. Todd

    Lovely job! Todd

    Wow! I love the bar! Foot rest bar, tap handles... Amazing! Lighting looks great too.

    Nice work. Keep charging! Todd

    Thanks HOF. Much appreciated. My mother actually sewed the sails for me. I sewed the bolt ropes along the edges. Will post more progress soon. Todd

    This shall be my late entry of a build log for my AL Bluenose 2. I bought this kit back in August of 1993 and began assembly of the hull. I was in the Navy at the time and serving on submarines. Our operation tempo was pretty high and I wasn't home much. But, I did manage to get the first planking completed and half of the second planking. Then, as it often does, life threw some curves and priorities changed, blah, blah, blah.... In any event the hull traveled everywhere I moved to. It stayed on the same build board that I started it on. Most impressively it traveled well and there was only one small crack in a bulwark that was easily fixed. So, work finally began again in earnest in early 2019. At which time I finished the second planking, deck furniture, masts and standing rigging. Now I'm currently working on the sails and running rigging. God willing and the creek don't rise, I'll have her finished before her 30th birthday. Todd

    Nice work! When I print mine up, I'll be attempting to model the USS Saucy (PG-65). So, thanks for sharing your experiences with the kit. Todd
  22. Prowler901
    Really nice work on the interior details. I have the AL King of the Mississippi that I hope to add interior and lights on. So, it is nice to see how you are doing your interiors. Todd
  23. Prowler901
    Nice work, Dave! She's really coming together well. Todd
  24. Prowler901
    Thanks for the link to the rope walk. The boats look really good. At this point I can't imagine planking something that small. Great advice on keeping the parts separated. Todd

    Place the non-PE planes in the hangar deck. Nice work so far!

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.
