    Welcome to MSW, Steve. That copper plating looks good. As others have noted, you are off to a good start.
  7. SaltyScot
    Very nice work, Phil. What do you seal them with? I like your very technical stands there, they must have taken a while to assemble 😉

    And the shipyard is open for business again, kitted out with the "scrap wood built organizer" This is my HAPPY PLACE!

    The new tool has pride of place in the shipyard. I built the table from some old shelves that we pulled out of the mother-in-law's house when she moved. The CEO's father was a navy man and these shelves have US Navy stamped on them. Fitting that they should end up in a shipyard ⛴️

    She is my greatest treasure, Steve. Can't imagine life without her Absolutely true, Keith. As they say, happy wife..... etc. Yep, just as big a surprise as well, Glen!

    Because I am sitting here enjoying my breakfast right now, that sounds quite inviting! I do agree, those wee boats look fantastic and completing a task on a mini project like that is certainly rewarding. Their detail will add to the beauty of an already superb build.
  26. SaltyScot
    That depth perception issue has got to be more than frustrating, Tom. Let's hope your eye doc can get that figured out! Those lines look very neat and I agree with the ratline procedure, a few at a time would be the way to go. Nice job.
  27. SaltyScot
    I had a very nice surprise yesterday. I didn't realize that the CEO had been paying close attention to my goings on regarding new tools and what was necessary for the shipyard. I had told her in passing that I didn't really need anything because I had a functioning wood shop already. Well, she completely blindsided me and had these delivered: It confused me at first because I know I didn't order them. She let me open the packages and then told me how she had picked up on the fact that I may have needed a drill that was a little more accurate than the Dremel tool I am currently using. She did good! I will finish the cleanup in the shipyard today and get these two situated.
  28. SaltyScot
    I agree, that does look good, Kevin. It was fortunate that you were able to unhinge the rudder so that you could reach around the keel stem with that tape. Nice save.
  29. SaltyScot
    I ran some old fence slats through the thickness planer, Steve, then cleaned up the edges on the table saw. I was actually surprised how clean they came out for being rough cut wood. I am still considering painting the whole thing white, we will see.
  30. SaltyScot
    Well, we can't have that, can we. Here is an image from Amazon of an organizer that I liked but, they wanted $36 for it! 🤨 So, I collected up some scraps, literally, and threw this together. It still needs some compartments on the bottom and something to slot tools into at the front but it will do nicely I believe:
  31. SaltyScot
    The shipyard is getting an overhaul today. I went ahead and ordered some much needed accessories for the yard, just things like a laser level, a decent contour gauge; stuff like that. Because I was looking where I could keep these items so that they were handy, I decided to clear my table off completely and (finally) get things organized. "Craft room organizers" were ridiculously expensive so I decided to build my own from sone scrap wood I had laying around. Images to follow.
  32. SaltyScot
    OK, I'm hooked. You have another follower,Peter. You have done a fine job on her. I will enjoy this, even if I am very late to the party

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.
