    I hear you Matti about being a hermit! My workshop is downstairs and if I go down there I feel the same way. My model isn't at the point that I can have it around my daughter. To much dust and sharp instruments are needed. If I work on it after she goes to bed then I get tired to quick. Anyways, still loving all your posts!

    Outstanding Matti! I see a few people carving now and it makes me want to carve. They would look terrible, but I want to carve!

    Thanks Matti, I know it will wait patiently. Life has a habit of mysteriously removing several months from you when you blink. Signing on to this forum and seeing everyone's awesome builds has been giving me the itch to get back at it. Problem is time though. I need to find where it all goes during the day! Haha, oh well I can't stay busy forever can I?

    Hey Wayne great job on the fix! I'm very excited about this build and how you progress with it. Hope you don't mind if I pull up a chair for this one.

    Hey John, I have been on hiatus for some time. Got to check in on your progress and I am loving it! How was you vacation? I am waiting for some warm weather to come around so I can take the family back to Mystic Seaport.

    Hey Remco I just finished reading this build from page one and I am truly blown away. The detail and mastery that you possess is just amazing! I hope you don't mind if I hang around to see this build thru.
  25. bigpav
    Hello Joe! Your build looks great!
  26. bigpav
    Hey Matti I haven't been on in a few months but when I finally got back on...WOW! The detail is mind blowing! So glad I got back to see this.
  27. bigpav
    Sorry, but I haven't made any process yet. This is actually the first time that I have signed on in months! Things at home and work have been very crazy so, unfortunately, modeling took a back seat. Hoping to get back at it soon though.

    Hey Brian, I found that planking could possibly be easier this way. The biggest problem however was putting the two halves together. Didn't realize it until it was to late but I should have made clamping cauls that matched the contour of the hull. It would have made the clamping so much easier.

    Thanks Wayne! I have made a few mistakes, but only ones that require wood filler. Like they say, "you learn by doing", and that I have!

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.
