    Hey Kenny ..Following your and Chuck's 3 d discussion.. I am too old and ignorant to do that stuff, but the dream would be to scratch build some thing with Ancre ,Taubman or what ever plans, then get the 3d carvings in that scale stateside ..also figures for my (formerly yours!) Winnie and Confederacy in resin..

    I mill up a lot of wood strips ,lumber, etc during the summer in NY. that I think I will need ,then ship it to our place in south FL..one thing I had to deal with was mold here in FL, when stored in my shipshed..Now I store my wood loose in long ,clear totes with a bag or two of Damprid... Eliminated the mold problem , even after six months of humid Fl weather.

    If you do any scratchbuilding, IMHO, the thickness sander is essential.. I have the saw, but also use a small benchtop bandsaw with a fence and Saker thin strip cutting jig..saves on the Byrnes saw.. another alternative is an old Dunlap cast iron table saw..slightly larger than a Byrnes..cheap , but heavy to ship..works great

    I have some rock maple that I cut from old mitre boxes, milled it for the deck planking with the Byrnes saw and thickness sander..looks pretty good..did you use rock (hard) maple? I have too many options at this point, but narrowing it to maple or boxwood for Winchelsea decking.

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.
