    Oh, so that's what they all mean when they say "I keep a tight ship". I always wondered about that

    This is why I enjoy the discussions and interactions of this forum so very much, the friendly exchange of valuable pieces of information like this.

    A job well done I must say. It looks fantastic, truly.
  12. SaltyScot
    Thank you for that, and thank you for dropping by, it is much appreciated.

    I work with black walnut A LOT, it is a beautiful wood and also smells fantastic when you sand or cut it. It never fails to amaze me how the grain pops once you put any kind of finish on it. The live edge piece you have there is beautiful and, as you so rightly said, perfectly compliments the wood tones of that spectacular model you are building. I will follow along as a (beginner) model ship builder but also as a very interested long time woodworker.

    Man that made me laugh!! You are really quite eloquent, sir.

    John, I didn't want anything that drew attention from the model and was aiming for functional but simplistic. Thanks for picking up on that sir.

    Vossie, After sharing my thoughts with the CEO it was suggested that I centralize the base under the boat. I will not be making it any longer, just moving the holes to, as you so rightly said, balance it out a little better.

    Afternoon all, House renovations have kept me (us) busy over the last few days so minimal time in the shipyard. I have a question for those who follow this blog. I have put together a display stand for the Endeavour: I have brass/copper covers for the pins and a nice nameplate that will be mounted to a block once the base has had its edges rounded: My question to you good folks is, should the stand be as long as the model or does it look OK as it is? Any feedback would be very much appreciated.
  21. SaltyScot
    Very meticulous, Glenn and the results speak for themselves sir.
  22. SaltyScot
    This really is coming along well. Let's hope we see another update soon. Because I have recently acquired this same kit, I will hop on board and follow along. One thing that does concern me is the holes for your masts, Gaffrig. As far as I know, they have a 15 degree lean stern wards. It will be interesting to see how you get that lean now that the decks are complete sir.
  23. SaltyScot
    I am with you on that one! Awesome work!

    That is some meticulous work there, very well done. I think I might just pull up a barrel and follow along here

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.
