    Great work JJ!

    Thanks Glenn. I'm taking a lot of inspiration from you! Also thanks for all the likes.

    As usual that's some very nice work B.E.

    Is there any other way? That's good to know Chris. I got them back in place and it was good practice fixing one of what will be several heavy handed oops. Well I'll be right in line next to you! I've faired the hull and the MDF sanded well but caution should be used as it is easy to remove too much if you're not careful. Also the stem has been added in anticipation of placing the bulwark patterns.

    Hi All, Like Bob (Rafine) I'm in between chapters with the Winnie and the Duchess of Kingston caught my eye. I thought it would be a great change of pace and Chris's Vanguards models have looked so good I had to give it a try. I started a little while ago and have been meaning to post my progress but everything I'm in the shop I get distracted and start working on the DOK. The hull pieces all went together very smoothly. I didn't have to adjust any and all slots were a nice firm fit. I too dry assembled it and then used a brush to apply the wood glue. After assembling the hull I added the fore and aft sub decks and the cross braces. Be careful adding the sub deck. The two up right circled below are fragile and can be easily damaged like I did. Luckily I could move them back in place and glue them and all is well.

    Moving along very nicely Glenn!

    I hope you are right and get well soon. My best to you.

    Well done Grant. Keep the paint handy if you're anything like me with the scuffing.

    She's coming along nicely.

    Very nicely done Sjors. It's a fine addition!

    Great work Glenn. I've got the same pile on my bench!

    Hi Chuck. Glad to see you back at it. I hope you're doing well. Rudder looks great by the way.

    Looks good Bob. This is only the second time I've used a one piece bulwark and I agree they went on nicely.
  15. Rustyj
    I printed them on plain white printer paper. Photo paper would be too thick.

    She's looking really nice Sjors!

    Very nice work B.E.

    Very nice Ben. Now you just need to add a laser cutter to your arsenal.

    Great workmanship JJ.
  20. Rustyj
    First off very nice work! I think your final two choices look very good and if Naphthol Red is easier to use then go for it.
  21. Rustyj
    Yes we all have had that moment. I used a hair dryer to accelerate the drying time to just an hour with no ill effects.
  22. Rustyj
    Very nice Bob. I agree that it all fits together quite nicely and the brushed on glue method really works well.
  23. Rustyj
    Very nice JJ. Great tip on the molding. I'll try to remember it next time around!
  24. Rustyj
    Great work Ben. I love it!

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.
