    Beautifully done, Remco. I'm about to raise the stern timbers on my Speedwell and I've a modified jig of my own I'll be using. I don't see how this can be done precisely without one.

    She's looking beautiful, Mark!

    That's a very clever way to do this piece Danny. The tafferel and coves gave me no end of headaches.

    Lovely work, Michael. It's hard to believe we're not looking at the full-sized vessel.

    Mortising in those plates show your commitment to perfection. It's not like you can replace the stern post if you screw up the mortise. Congratulations on completing Volume 1.

    You have definitely one-upped me Toni. Love it!

    It's terrific to see more regular updates from you Alex. Always a treat! Greg

    Just one transom redo is well ahead of the curve, Ben. Beautifully done!

    Remco, there are no words...but perfecton comes to mind.

    Yes, Jim's machines are great and the service is excellent and blah blah blah but...I want a Byrnes featherboard v.1 too!

    You've been busy, Karl. Amazing work, as usual!
  12. dvm27
    Very beautiful work and nice sectional model. I don't know that I could have divided that lovely, fully framed hull though!
  13. dvm27
    Precision work, as usual. Remco. I'm wondering how you are adding the cabin partitions off the ship as they must (and do in your photos) fay into the planked and unplanked sections of the frames.
  14. dvm27
    Just curious Karl. Your work so far, including cast cannon barrels, is some of the nicest I've ever seen. Did you have a specific purpose for the lathe in mind?

    Love your updates Michael. Looking at the ebony (?) sheave blank in the last photo reminds me why I seldom turn ebony anymore. Lots of chip-outs.

    Congratulations on this milestone, Toni. Do you notice those lovely platform details disappearing before your eyes? You'll always have photos...

    Scoring in those reference lines before removing the paper is a great idea, Rusty.
  18. dvm27
    Respectfully, I would counter that your attention to details such as realistic fastening is exactly what award winning models should be about. Note the trend in aircraft and railroad modelling with regards to weathering and realistic finishes.
  19. dvm27
    Perfection, Karl!

    Last year at Mystic we were given regular rope and instructed how to make eye-splices. I daresay not one in five did it correctly. It certainly took me a couple of tries to make a passable version. Well done!
  21. dvm27
    Wonderful start Rusty. Following in Chuck's footsteps is a tall order but you are certainly up to it.
  22. dvm27
    Beautiful, Remco. I love the beds you've created for the sails.
  23. dvm27
    It's always a pleasure to watch you work your magic with wood.
  24. dvm27
    Great jig, Remco. Sort of a variant of the gratings jig. It's hard to tell from the photo but I assume the blade width is the same width as the indexing strip?
  25. dvm27
    I don't wish to be critical, Alex, but I note a major problem with your model - you don't work fast enough to satiate my need for further updates! This could probably be remedied by quitting your day job (unless of course you are already retired and just a really slow builder : -).

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.
