    You're in very good hands, Alex! His work is reminiscent of Narim Majgeldinov (same style and finish).

    Great gratings Johann. What type of blade are you using to cut your brass sheet?
  3. dvm27
    Lovely work, as ever, Keith. Your brass work is polished to perfection. What steps do you take to achieve the mirror-like finish?

    Lovely capstans, Marsalv! It does make one wonder about the practicalities of manning the lower capstan bars when both are required for the task at hand.

    Stockwin wrote a very nice piece of life aboard a naval vessel in the late 1700's. It's a nice primer for his books. http://www.mcbooks.com/pdf/KYDDsWORLD.pdf

    Really enjoying this build, Tecko. You may wish to visit Woodlands Scenery http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/ for some ideas on road and water making. It's an excellent site with many free videos.

    Fascinating casting and the small boats look beautiful, Alex. It looks like you cast far more parts then you can use on your two models. Do you sell the rest or just keep them in case you mess one up?
  8. dvm27
    Is your mill CNC controlled or did you freehand mill that stem rabbet? Very impressive in either case.
  9. dvm27
    Have you thought about how you are going to mount your model? Now would be the time to drill and tap holes for the mounting screws if that is in your plans.
  10. dvm27
    Well done, Christian. Doing this in two parts certainly helps keep the rabbet crisp but you did a very nice job..

    They're delicate little suckers. Ben. Same thing happened to me (and Toni, I believe). Second time around I glued on some battens to hopefully keep it stable until planking.

    Sweet work it. I was surprised to see that the massive double stranded forestay starts and ends in two small thimbles and eye bolts. Wonder if they ever pulled out under stress?

    "Precision eyeballing" - would be an oxymoron for me but pretty spot-on for your build. That's a gorgeous model.

    That jig is a keeper, Ed. Good stuff!

    There are several books which depict the shipyard but here's a photo of a completed ship in it's slipway with launching cradle http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/66473.html

    Been very close to step 4, Keith! Definitely optional.
  17. dvm27
    Beautiful work, Keith. It seems like backlash is a problem for me when I try to do repeated sequences such as you have done above. I found an article by Sherline on how to adjust for it and I shall have to read it.

    My set is in the mail and I'm looking forward to receiving them! Michael writes that he has a few left.
  19. dvm27
    That's really cool Dennis. It would be even cooler if you were to use a contemporary Admiralty dockyard building slip, complete with workers, as the background.
  20. dvm27
    Really enjoying this build, Dan. I really admire those who can build ships of any era with equal excellence. Great link, Keith! Don't believe I've come across micro brass tubing that small before.
  21. dvm27
    My God man...that's craftsmanship!
  22. dvm27
    Looking great Ben. Your ports are lining up very fair. Are you still cutting the sill mortises prior to installing the frames?
  23. dvm27
    Wonderful work on that stern framing (and everything else)!
  24. dvm27
    Plank on frame airplane modeling...a far cry from the plastic models of my youth. Makes me want to take a stab at a WWI biplane or triplane. Or recently, I was diverted by a You Tube modelers chanel specializing in WWII aircraft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-Mdr1mgVuU. The level of detail and finishing is amazing. And those damned Pocher classic automobiles...

    Wonderful precision joinery Alexandru.

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.
