    One of my first RC boats (17 years ago) was finished with resin only. It now has cracks between the planks. You need to use light weight glass or nylon stockings for strength. Bob

    I see it’s been a while since I’ve shown you the Pequot. So here is where she is at present. I’ve been mounting parts on the upper deck which is now complete except for 13 fire buckets which mount in a ring surrounding the stack. The first picture is an attempt at a water level shot, looking up at the wheel house. The gray thing on top is the 50mm gun which was always covered with a tarp. She was only armed during the war and I am portraying her as she was in 1943. Bob

    It looks like a lot of progress to me, and the progress is looking good. Bob

    A fine start on what looks like a fun build. Bob

    Yes, the wood in the scrap bin is heaver than the finished boat. Been there many times. Bob

    WOW! Bob

    Thanks. Bob

    Thanks for the info. They look great. Bob

    I'm not familiar with card building. What glue do you use to bond the card layers together and how do you keep the layered cards flat while they dry? What you've started looks good. Bob

    "I guess wood likes a good massage." And why not? I like a good massage too. Bob

    Love those vents. How did you clean out the castings? Bob
  17. captainbob
    Glad you're having fun. That's what it's all about. Bob
  18. captainbob
    Yes, I like that idea. Bob

    Since the ribs are styrene I'm surprised you didn't plank her with styrene. Bob

    What a fine planking and cleanup job you've done. She'll look great with a high gloss coat. Bob
  21. captainbob
    Well done. It's amazing what you can find to use on a model if you just keep looking and have an open mind. Bob
  22. captainbob
    The cleats look great. Well done. Bob
  23. captainbob
    Count me in. This looks to be another winner. Bob

    Thanks Tom, my admiral says I should have been a teacher but I went into engineering instead. Popeye, I forgot most of what my dad told me also. Tinning isn't always necessary but there are times you can't do a nice job without it. Bob

    For someone who doesn't know what you are doing, you're doing a mighty fine job. the radio controls will be interesting and there are many here who will be glad to help. Bob

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.
