Fillers were there Bob. I didn't include them because...I forgot. Thanks for reminding us so we can get the word to the others before they start planking internally. As my Swan cross-section was planked in and out I didn't include them. -

If you hadn't included the penny for scale I would have been impressed. It's inclusion make's the figures all the more remarkable!

Your hull is progressing very nicely, Bob. I used to hook up a pencil to my height gage but now I just use the bladed end that it came with it a use a very sharp pencil to make the mark. -

Excellent work, Jim! Wishing one's initial work was as good as their current work is a common theme amongst ship modelers (as it should be). I'll start to worry when I start wishing my future work was as good as it is now. With regard to tolerances I leave just a thin sliver of white outside the pattern. There are so many variable when cutting and raising frames on the keel that I find it useful to leave myself room for error. Fairing is far simpler than replacing timbers that are a hair off, affecting the symmetry of the hull. Greg -
You can't beat drill bit city for selection and price. They all dome on a 1/8" shank which works particularly well on rotary tools. https://www.drillbitcity.com/Default.asp

Really fine job on those lanterns, Ed. Even Longridge farmed these out as he deemed them to difficult to fabricate. Greg -
Gary, you battens prove that you have built a very fair hull. Congratulations on a beautiful build. Greg

You made the knighthead shaping and bowsprit chock look easy, Ed. I know from experience that lots can go wrong. Well done!

Ebony and ivory...they're together in perfect harmony (apologies to McCartney and Wonder). Sorry about the slight, Robert. I should have known it was the real deal. One day I would like to come to Germany to see your models and Miniature Wonderland (http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/) Greg.

Thanks for the terrific photos, Chuck. So we may post any of the Plans and Photos pictures so long as we credit them? This is good news as their library is very extensive. Greg

Robert, Were those inlaid floors drawn with pen and ink or actual inlay? Also, I can't tell if they're bone or wood from the photo. Greg

There are commissioned sculptors who could do a magnificent job for you but the cost would be rather exorbitant. A high quality figurehead carved in box or pear might cost in the neigherbood of $500 or more, depending on the complexity and scale. There are Russian craftsmen who specialize in this and I'm sure there are a couple of talented Americans who might also consider such a commission.

Garwood, You are surely the MacGyver of ship modelers! You probably won't get the reference but it is a complement. -

The treenails are darker because they're endgrain. I've used holly for treenails in the past with boxwood as they are less visible. There have been some punches described here where you can core out treenails from the face of a boxwood billet. Theses would be barely visible on the model after installation. -

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.
