    Well after good 10 years I am cutting some wood again, and this time not for house building purposes. Whan I moved in here around 5 years ago, there we had an old pear tree in the middle of tge garden, and it had to go .... except that I kept it for muy future retirement ship modelling purposes. I am not retired yet, but fingers are itching... I thought of HMS Triton already back then when I was with contact with Chuck and Russ and others, and plans have been waiting. Let's see what happens now. 1st test frame I cut out of pine scrap wood just for testing purposes. Immediately said, this wood will not be nice. too soft and too grainy. So time to prepare my patiently waiting pear tree. I cut into 7 mm planks and then with thicknesser went down to 5mm... Sorry I am metric oriented. Aseembled 2 frames and started to think.... about leaving one side open with visible frames as I saw by few other threads. I am not subject matter expert but I was wonderring about futtocks assembly. Many placed treenails ond sides of frames. But what about chock piesces? Then treenails actually would be placed from inside of the frame. Cheers Jerzy

    WOW, thanks James. As I wrote in the email I had reason to stop for a while. Messing around with HMS Triton project which I loved 10 years ago but never realized it. Might open new topic. For the time being I am reading your great forum threads and last night I cut out one frame. I need to get better wood though. I just used scrap wood I had.

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.
