    That’s indeed a fine looking build, well done!
  22. Montaigne
    Love this build. Such a beautiful and somewhat unique looking fishing vessel, and a very fine built model.
  23. Montaigne
    Looking very fine indeed!

    I just discovered and read through this entire build, and never before have I used the wow-emoji as many times and been so impressed with a build. Wow. Just wow all over. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Simply amazing and very inspiring. Thanks for sharing it all, Matiz, there’s so much for me to study and learn just by looking at the pictures in this build.
  25. Montaigne started following ENDURANCE by Jorez de Saint Nazaire - FINISHED - OcCre - 1/70 , HMS EURYALUS by Matiz - FINISHED - scale 1:56 , USS Perry by Jeff Preisler - FINISHED - BlueJacket Shipcrafters - Scale 1/8" = 1' and 7 others

    Looking very nice indeed, well done. Beautiful lines also on that ship.
  27. Montaigne
    Excellent build and very impressive details. Hats off!
  28. Montaigne
    I hadn’t realized how tiny this build actually is, only yesterday reading about the Mini Mamoli series for the first time. Very impressive work indeed, hats off!
  29. Montaigne
    It looks to me like it should go up a notch, aligned with the the lower edge of the top plank. Now it’s aligned with the lower edges of the second pair of planks.

    No one will ever know but you. And of course MSW’s 43,000 members, but they are all sworn to secrecy punishable by up to five rounds of keelhauling, so no worries.

    It’s indeed delicious. I didn’t know it was torched. Learn something new every day.
  32. Montaigne
    I’d challenge anyone to say that ten times in a row without slipping lol Progress looking good!

    I second video tutorials. While it doesn’t have to be one or the other; both books and videos can be used and complement each other, there is in this case a significant advantage to watching something being done while it’s explained, compared to having it described and explained in text. 3D software techniques quickly becomes convoluted and many methods may seem arbitrary, making understanding by reading a bit more challenging than understanding by watching. The complex logic of 3D software methods often end up as later aha-moments, making it benefit from approaches such as: “just do it, you will understand why later”. With video tutorials, preferably covering tutorial projects, you can watch them without practicing the methods described, then as a second step watch them again while using the software, applying the methods. This is a pedagogical and relaxed way of learning. You will partially remember what you learned from the first watch and have an easier time applying it. The main downside with video tutorials is that they’re harder to search through for certain bits of information, compared to books. Then there are big differences in tutorial quality, especially when browsing for them on Youtube. I don’t have any recommendations for Fusion 360 as it’s not one of the 3D softwares that I’ve used, but the recommendations above sounds like good suggestions.

    Excellent tutorials, a very commendable effort. I have a background in CNC milling, back when these technologies were nowhere near affordable for home use. The advances in later years with 3D printing are quite fascinating.

    Sorry to hear you've been through rough times, Tim. Hope you'll be able to find some comfort in new build projects. I agree with your thoughts about attention to historical accuracy; I got a bit discouraged myself planning my upcoming build of the Bounty launch, as there are so many details about it that can be questioned and endlessly researched. But I don't work as a model builder at a maritime museum, I just want to build well made boats and ships that somewhat resemble their historical counterparts.
  36. Montaigne
    A second one going already! Wishing you fair seas on the Norwegian one, all the way from Scandinavia. Previous build logs are indeed a goldmine; I have spent countless hours studying logs.

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.
