    Hi Vic. Your doing a fantastic job on your Confederacy. As they say you've gotta keep the admiral (boss) happy. Ben is busy in the scratch build section doing a pof Pegasus.

    Hi Augie, Really nice workmanship. I agree the water ways and margin plank on both sides looks good. Copies of the plans are a must for aligning the lower stanchions. Great job!

    Great job on the rigging Bob. As Augie said its pure gold.
  4. Rustyj
    Well done Grant. You did a great job on it!

    Hi Bob. You're masts and rigging are outstanding. So crisp and clean. I'm really enjoying following along.
  6. Rustyj
    Looking really nice Augie.

    Hi Grant. Best of luck to you on your surgery. That shell room was one testy little jig saw puzzle. Hopefully you've got it licked now. Again my best to you for a speedy recovery!

    Hi Ben. There sure is a lot of sanding on a big frame like that. I too sanded to 150 grit on the areas to be planked and then progressively down to 400. Very seldom did I go any finer than that. Keep up the great work.

    Great work Mobbsie. I danced to that tune whilst building that too. You got a good ear for the music

    Very nice Maury. Reading this really makes me want to dive in and join you! I'll just have to settle for watching your fine workmanship.
  11. Rustyj
    That's some fine work there Bob. Always a pleasure to check in on you.

    Hi Mobbsie, Everything is looking really good. I sure am enjoying watching all these builds.
  13. Rustyj
    I LIKE IT! Well done Grant and I agree. Do the bolts.

    Hi Grant. I'd really like to see them sanded and the poly finish applied first. I found out the hard way that the poly can really change the look.

    Hi Maury, As you said getting the shape right is very important and the sanding will take a bit as that plywood is strong stuff. She's looking really really good.
  16. Rustyj
    I'd say that you are doing a good job on a very taxing portion of the build. Keep it up.

    Hi Keith. As Mark said height and speed are important. I've also noticed that the number of teeth per inch can have something to do with it too. You may need to use a higher TPI blade.

    Hi Ben, I've just caught up with what you've been up to. Well done and congratulations on getting that last frame in. Following Remco's advise/motto is never a bad thing either!
  19. Rustyj
    Very well done! It's great that you are getting together and working through the build. I'm sure it's both helpful and fun.
  20. Rustyj
    Hi Grant. Looking really nice! I would not sand any finer inboard for now. I had to do a little more sanding later when it came time to place the deck clamps and shot locker. Once you know those will fit sand to the finish that makes you happy.

    Very nice Chris. I always enjoy seeing your designs! Thanks for sharing

    Hi Grant, You are off to a great start and it is all coming alone very nicely. This is a very differant type of hull framing and planking but it's a lot of fun huh?
  23. Rustyj
    Hi Grant, I hope you are doing well now. I also had to make some minor adjustments to the sills. I agree that it is most likely our causing a creep than an error in the plans. I’ve also been a fan of alternating between builds. It really helps me keep “fresh” during a build.

    Hi Dave, Thanks! Yes they are both beauties and the Winnie would be worth the wait.
  25. Rustyj
    Hi Grant, It looks like all the cut outs for the ports and sweeps line up really good. I’d say it’s time to glue her up!

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.
