    How do you like the Ultimation sander?
  2. Mike Collier
    Could you use a divider with a pencil on the wood and pointer on model to trace the curve of the bow to the wood, then cutout and see how close you come to fitting.

    You said your wife won the kit at a model boat show. Was that in Oxford Md?

    Looks great! You did a nice job! I just ordered this kit and looking forward to building it.

    Great job! I’ve done one of their kits and it’s a little weird wiring the planks together but it works! Like to do this kit myself.

    Got the deck supports in today and installed the floor supports in. Won’t be able to work on the boat tomorrow I’ll be at the Oxford Md. model boat show until 4pm. If in the area stop by and say hi.

    Jay, how do you like Wye River models skipjack? I’ve built a few of their models and like them.
  20. Mike Collier
    I got some more work done on my round stern. I installed the keel, I plank the round stern and started to plank the bottom.
  21. Mike Collier
    Got some more work done on my canoe. I think it’s coming along nicely but not my best work.
  22. Mike Collier
    Looking good!
  23. Mike Collier
    WOW! You’re doing very precise work! It’s amazing!
  24. Mike Collier
    I always learn from each of my builds, I learned from this never to use ammonia again! Jacques how did you use the spacer block?
  25. Mike Collier
    You did a really great job on the rigging! I wish I can do a job like that some day!

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.
