    Does this offer (ebook + physical copy) apply for Vol 3 and 4 as well?

    Hi. What is the latest news on these books? It is starting to drag out. I have downloaded the ebooks, but I am missing a physical copy.

    I am a bit uncertain on how the final shape of the mast should be. @tlevine Should the mast be perfectly round from below the mast head and all the way down to the deck, or should some parts be left octagonal?

    I bought this kit to help with my rigging skills. Even though I haven’t started neither masting nor rigging yet, I am really enjoying the build so far. Since the model is small you can also splurge on the choice of woods.

    Fantastic. Can we still hope to find it under the Christmas tree this year?

    Hello @BenD I am testing my new rope walk with different Gutermann E-series ropes. If I want to make .45mm rope I can either use 3 strands with 3 threads each if I use E121, or I can use 3 strands with a single thread if I use the thicker E382. Do you have any preference on the quality between the different methods? I am sure you must have tested a lot of different combinations 😃. More thinner threads or few thicker threads.?

    I paid you 40USD to ship Sherbourne across the north sea and I paid Pavel 60USD for shipping the Viking Ship from a warzone… pretty fair if you ask me.

    It is a machine block, often called a 1-2-3 block after its dimensions in inches. It is heavy and has square edges. Very handy in many occasions. I have a 25-50-75 block since I use metric.

    Being a Norwegian I maybe shouldn’t say this, but I am skipping the Norwegian Pram for now. The plan is to finish the Lobster Smack and the Sherbourne. Then I think I will go to the two NRG kits I have here at my desk. Both the rigging and the planking should be useful. After that I think the Philadelphia Gunboat. so many choice and so little time

    I clearly enjoy building models more than I enjoy writing about building models... Long time since I have updated anything here. I just created two more logs for the Dory and the Lobster Smack. I have been shuffling back and forth between these three models and I hope to have all of them done this month.

    Another build where I have enjoyed the building more than the logging.

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.
