    Haha - yeah, ain't that the truth! First, thank you for the kind words... this project is about 14 months in the making and has been every bit as tedious as it appears. Second, Blender is arguably the best software I have ever downloaded - yet the learning curve is such that so many folks I know end up walking away. The skillsets do indeed take a while to develop, once they do, they're yours. For me it was like learning a foreign language. A grind at first, but then something just 'clicked'. So keep at it, and if there's any particular Blender tips or tricks of the nautical variety you want an opinion on, I'd be honored to help where I can. Happy Modelling!

    Stripping her down a bit, we can get a better look at the underlying structures. Note that: 1. A few objects seem to be 'floating' in these images, because in reality, they are affixed to either the internal or external planking (Not shown). 2. The gunports appear to be partially sealed off. This plane is textured as a mesh netting that wraps around the end of the carronades 3. Handles not yet modeled on the pumps I'll do a comprehensive breakdown by layer in a bit. Comments/suggestions welcome. Thx!

    3D Brig sloop of the late 18th or early 19th century, modeled 100% based upon real-world plans, from a number of different ships. Topic opener, more to follow shortly.

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.
