    Nice start Doug. Hopefully we'll learn as much from you as you do from everyone else!

    This the start of my Medway Longboat 1742 - 1/2" scale build log. I'm ready to go once the Medway Longboat is released and I manage to purchase one. This group build will be a lot of fun!

    Well done Mike! I really like the look.

    Excellent workmanship Ben! She is a real beauty!

    Hi Ben, Been real busy the last couple of months and haven't spent much time (almost none) in the work shop. I'm thinking a of an acrylic box like this with a wooden base. Oars on their stand in front and then on a shelf in my shop. Probably won't get to that for another month or so. Building a game room in the other half of the basement next to my shop. At least I'm getting to build something! Thanks for stopping by!

    Beautiful workmanship Chuck. Anxiously awaiting the group build!

    Hi Chuck, Great work while I've been away. I love the workmanship and the size comparison was real nice to see. The price point is very reasonable too. At that you better make a whole lot of kits!

    Hi B.E. I've been away and it was a pleasure catching up on your work. Well done!

    Ok I've redone the "3 mile island" dolphins and they are looking much better.

    That is some beautiful planking Chuck. She is going to be a really fun build!

    Ok I went back, stripped off the old decorations and followed Chucks suggestion. I don't know why I didn't catch that when doing it the first time. One down Four to go! Thanks Chuck

    Ok Chuck that's a head slapping moment for me. Think I just may have to strip those off and redo them. Thanks all for the kind words and likes.

    Hi all, I've been working in bits and pieces as I can find the time to get into the shop. I've made the tiller and added the rudder. I then assembled the sweeps, sanded them to shape, painted them and added the printed dolphin as well as the simulated leather band on the tip. Here are the flags and flag staffs assembled and painted. And here they are on the barge. The shaping isn't as good as Chucks (no surprise there) and I'll continue to tweek them. Basically I've completed her. Just some touching up here and there, figure out a display case and assemble the stands and take some finished pictures. Chuck has again made an outstanding model that is fun to do, teaches you new things and of great quality.

    Very nicely done B.E.

    Very nice work Mike. Yes that bend is tricky to visualize at first but it sure looks like you nailed it!

    Great discription and photographs. Much better than using proportional dividers.

    Hi Jean-Paul That's exactly what I did to get the frames sanded correctly. Well done!

    Hi Remco. Great to hear from you again! Glad to hear the move is over and you are settling in. Always look forward to hearing from you!
  19. Rustyj
    Thanks Tim.

    Thanks Dirk and John. Also thanks for all the likes.
  21. Rustyj
    Thanks Christian. I look forward to your building this too! Next was to make the 20 thole pins or oar locks. These are tiny laser cut pieces and thankfully Chuck supplies extra. A couple disappeared into the black hole of the shop floor. As you can see they are small. They were glued in place per the plans and then painted. Next up is the rudder.
  22. Rustyj
    Hi Chuck. Very nice start! The additions of the bracing blocks is a really great idea. Anything to help with the alignment and stabilizing the assembly during fairing is a plus. This is going to be a fun group build and I'm looking forward to it!
  23. Rustyj
    Thanks Mark. All goes to a great designed kit and instructions!
  24. Rustyj
    Thank Grant and Kurt. Thanks for all the likes too! I'm really liking the weathering powders. Adds a whole new look.
  25. Rustyj
    Getting there but still a lot more to enjoy!

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.
