    Tiller time. I wanted to make the tiller out of walnut. I had a piece of black walnut bowl stock I had turned down in the workshop that was no longer needed so I cut a piece off: The piece was cut down to size and shaped using the kit supplied plywood piece as a template: I then took it to my drill and drilled out the slanted hole for the rudder head: The remaining wood was removed with the Exacto knife and the tiller shaped to fit:

    I haven't looked in in a while, Phil but WOW is she looking good. Very nice job there, sir.

    Your attention to detail is mind blowing, Phil. Even though this isn't the type of model I would build particularly (because I have ZERO knowledge of them), I am interested in how you tackle certain aspects of the build. It's fun to follow along for sure.
  16. SaltyScot
    As am I

    Nice and precise, Steve. I like the work on those footropes, the knots are all well tied and neatly spaced. She is coming along very nicely!

    You should be proud of this, Gary. She is a fine looking vessel!
  23. SaltyScot
    I agree, those CAD drawings are very good, Phil. In case I missed it, are these models going to be 3D or resin printed?
  24. SaltyScot
    Fingers crossed that this is nothing serious, John. Enjoy your break, you have certainly deserved it!
  25. SaltyScot
    And you did a fine job of it sir... like you have been doing it all yer life matey 🤣🤣

    A small update. Because I have been hopping in and out of the shipyard in between my other activities this summer, I have made little progress and didn't really take the time to catalog that with a bunch of images. I was really only working on the hull and paintwork so there wasn't a lot to tell. I have given the build a lick of paint which still needs refining, added the cap and fender rails (as previously stated) and put a primer of yellow ochre on the interior bulwarks. I am still deciding if I like that color. This is how she looks at this point in time:
  27. SaltyScot
    Absolutely impressive work, John. A joy to behold for sure, and who gives a hoot about the background (shouldn't be looking at it anyway with this beauty in front of you!)

    My thoughts exactly. Don't beat yourself up about it, Steve. For the record, I thing your gammoning looks just fine!

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.
