    Marvellous, Johann!

    Take a look at Woodlands Scenery http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/ Glen. I've used their landscaping products before and they are excellent. They have a great video tutorial section. Check out the one on water.

    Wonderful work on those very difficult head timbers, Alexandru. So many different surfaces and angles to consider.
  4. dvm27
    Brilliant work, Glenn, as usual. Those brass paddlewheel shafts - is your lathe CNC controlled or are they turned freehand?
  5. dvm27
    Very convincing iron-like finish on the carronade, Chuck. Look forward to your finishing technique details.

    Great start Alan. Druxey has a great technique for keeping the chisel perpendicular using the reflection in the mirror finish of the chisel. Perhaps he can elaborate.

    Wonderful work, Glen. Did you need Novocaine to facilitate the amputation of those beautiful, healthy flywheels?

    Outstanding, Mike! Chuck has unleashed some pretty awesome Cheerful on this website.

    I have had the pleasure of holding and examining this little jewel of a model today and it is even more impressive in person. It is surprisingly small, light and translucent. It's quite perfect! I believe Druxey is building it on spec so perhaps some lucky MSW member will end up with it.

    This is precisely the reason that young people are not attracted to ship model making, Chuck. Instant gratification is the mantra for most people under 40 as well as the "good enough" philosophy.

    This happened to Franklin, while building his beautiful Egmont model. He applied a wet cloth to the hull overnight and in the morning it was back to speck. I believe he added the wales and some internal planks and the problem was solved.

    I'll take your "ugly" side any day, Mike. Loved the Soviet anecdote!

    Whatever league you and Remco are in, the rest of us are huge fans. You guys hit it out of the park every time (sorry...baseball season is upon us again).

    I managed to scrap together enough spare pieces for Dan to make them, Toni. We've had some demand so I may carry them again on our Admiralty Models website.

    Really enjoying your build, Tom. Fascinating to see a different approach other than plank on frame or bulkhead on a vessel of this era.
  16. dvm27
    Druxey built the plug in two sections, David, not the model itself. The actual ship was built, clinker style, over the plug.
  17. dvm27
    Sweet work Danny! I note that my cross-sections seem to be somewhat better than the full version.Perhaps you've upped your game similarly as a result of completing your fully framed model.
  18. dvm27
    A scraper sounds like just the ticket to make that profile, Remco. Any problems using it on those curved bow sections?
  19. dvm27
    Well done, Druxey. There's just something beautiful about a clinker planked hull. Perhaps it shows off the ships lovely lines better than carvel planking.
  20. dvm27
    We all feel incredibly lucky that you decided to display your work here. I assume you do your own drafting for your CNC parts. Could you give us a sense of how long it takes to design the fly wheel in CAD and how long it takes to CNC produce them?
  21. dvm27
    Enjoy your log Charlie. You know, I believe accurately shaping a solid, machine caved hull is much more difficult than building a plank on bulkhead model.
  22. dvm27
    Brilliant, Ed. Even with your explanation I had to spend some time figuring how you went from photo one to two!
  23. dvm27
    Love the detail under the hinged pillars where the deck is slope-mortised to allow them to fully extend. Never seen anything like this before but it makes perfect sense. Could you describe how you created the flange detail of the hawse tubes?
  24. dvm27
    Great case and display, Maury!
  25. dvm27
    Brilliant, Ed. I would have thought that forming the spokes and adding them later would have been the way to go but your method is both simple and elegant. Were there any issues with deflection of the disk while machining the spokes and boring the holes? Doesn't seem like a lot of contact between the jaws and the disk.

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.
