    Hi, have anyone tried 3d printed pulleys before? I have just testprinted few of main design. I am very happy with results and planning tu use them. I have tried also other things and have ideas on more

    Hi next step finished, secund planking is ready. big mistake, i used ca glue sometimes in points just not to hold plank till pva sets an i have some marks :(, I thought it will disappear when varnish will be applied but it's still visible. I don't worry to much, bottom will be painted, upper part partially too, then some addins will cover come of remaining i didn't have enough of pear wood so bottom is striped it will be painted, no worry BONUS: I have test printed canon for Endeavour Best regards Maciek

    Hi works slowly progressing. First planking is completed but in this episod i want to show You deck and the way i choose to make tree nails effect. first, photos of final effect to achieve this I choose very simple method that could be describe in 3 steps 1. make a hole 2. take a wax for wood repairing 3. scrape excess wax, it comes off very easily before and after I covered the deck with clear varnish I know, tree nails should be in wood color but for artistic reasons I chose darker for contrast. thats all for today, till the next time

    Hello time to start build log of the HMB Endeavour by Caldercraft. I am planning to make her as detailed as I can, using all source of information i can find. For now I have only Anatomy of the Ship that should be good start. Quality of parts is very good, but blocks i will change for aftermarket one fit is tight but everything fit perfectly now time to start planking Best, Maciek

    Thank You Allan, I think You right When modeling the emblem I took picture from book 'anatomy of the ship - alert' because it was more precise for me to model on it than the one for endavours book. I didn't realise that the small ornament on the left was in fact a number 2. I compared it with drwaings for endavour and this ornament looks like like 3 there. If I decide to print it some changes will be made ;). Thanks!

    I am talking about forestays. As You can see on the picture above, forestay blocks rotation angle of the yard. I think i shoulden't deform forestays by increasind tention on yard. Mayby i need to move yard foreward away from the mast?

    Dear All, I need some advice. I'm at the stage of mounting the yard and sails. I would like to mount squer sails as if they were catching side wind. something like that but, when i try to position the lowest yard it colides with shrouds. I couldent find any good picture how it works in real. Any ideas?

    Hi taking a little break from Lady Nelson, I'm learning 3D design. For my next project, HMB Endavour, I have created model of it's cannon and hope to print it Model is based on blueprints from anatomy of the ship. Photo of orginal cannon for comparison.

    Amati didn't provide any gun tackle plans, so I took them form 'Anatomy of the Ship - The Naval Cutter Alert 1777' due to both ship are the same class and period. Maybe it's not clearly visible in previous photos but blocks configuration is single and double. Thank you! I will remember this for future projects

    Hello, it's time to make some sails! Unfortunately I don't have access to sewing machine so my sails are glued. To imitate seam on sail I followed Olha Batchvarov built relation ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj8D0VNMRAE&t=958s ) that is, pulling the colored thread out of the fabric to achieve result like this finished sail has doubel seam and glued on reinforcements on ends two sails installed, and template for third is fitted. A lot of loose line everywhere at this point Cheers Maciek

    Quick time jump and another update some deck furniture added (dry fitted at the moment) I decided to replace kit cannons with aftermarket, that are much larger (L:25mm) and more in to scale.

    Welcome to my first building log! Over a year ago i started building Lady Nelson from Amati. It is my second attempt to build wooden ship. Bit late but anyway I decided to share building progress with You. Unfortunately I haven't documented early stages of construction. First photos I made below. The hull is ready and painted. I like detail so first of them that I have made to this stage: rudder Maciek

    Cześć! Greetings from my shipyard in Warsaw suburbs. I don't have long history with ship modeling, just one finished during lockdown (Amati Albion), bat with models in general almost all my life (36). So many hours spent on this formu looking for information to make my next built as good and detailed as I am able to. And soon i hope to share results of my work. For now some pictures of my first ship from her better days (before hit by books )

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.
