    Lawrence, Thanks for those photos. I'm going to glue as much wood on the long boat as I can. I've already made the floor grate.

    Thanks Augie & Karl

    Constructo is interesting. Most everything they provide is with poor instructions and has to be scratch built. Except the small boat. It's a very un-imaginative hunk of aluminum casting and no instructions as to how to make it authentic. I'll do some research and create my own version. I see in most of your build logs you've scratch built the small boats, plank on bulkhead style

    Beautiful ship!

    Looking good!

    She looks nice and straight. Until she's planked, keep checking for straightness.

    Beautiful workmanship.

    I was trying to bend Sapele, a dark hard wood. The bender only helped a little. I got plenty of spilts.

    Here's my first attempt at a drilling jig. I'm using the reversed sticky tape to hold the wood and the straight edge ruler. The ruler is aligned down the center of the wood and I space the holes with markings on the ruler. So far, it looks good. I'll let you know if it works for 134 holes.

    Beautiful work!

    One of the finest Victory's I've ever seen!

    Great detail work!

    I can only dream of doing carpentry work like yours. Beautiful work!

    If you look closely at the port side gunwale, you'll see some of the "frost" I missed from my spray adventure.

    Finally I pinned and glued the fife rails.

    Nice carpentry!
  18. HIPEXEC
    Good luck with your build. Post plenty of pictures.
  19. HIPEXEC
    A lot of your pictures are not there. I'd love to see your build progress.

    Magnificent carpentry!
  21. HIPEXEC
    Your carpentry is a joy to look at!

    Captain Bligh will be very comfortable in your beautiful launch.

    I don't remember if I told you, but I copied your head construction since Constructo doesn't even show any heads. Can't sail the seven seas with heads.
  24. HIPEXEC
    Nice workmanship!

    Thanks for the detailed tutorial.

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.
