    Yes I know, “button it all up” can sometimes take a while. But you’re a lot closer now. Bob
  2. captainbob
    Happy for you. Sounds like you have a winner. Now to button it all up and go sailing. Bob
  3. captainbob
    Many of us agree with that. Bob

    You mean glue it to the table? Yah., me too. Bob

    All your ladders are nice. The round rung ladder would have been more work to make and would have been a permanent ladder, whereas the square rung ladder wound have been nailed together for the job and scrapped afterword. Bob

    That's some fancy sewing, Nils. Bob

    “It’s nice having the Admiral back home where she belongs!” Yes, that’s always a good thing. And now you’re building again, that’s also a good thing. Bob

    Thanks, nice sails. Bob

    It is good you found so many pictures. It will be a fine model. Bob

    Watching such a small scale build is always inspiring. Thank you for posting your build. Bob

    Thanks for the picture. Bob

    When I lived in Indiana the local apple orchard sold split apple logs from there old trees as fire wood. You might try your local orchard. Bob

    Thanks for the information but things have changed. The finished schooner will be placed where the admiral will see it all the time and she said. . . “I don’t want that other boat with the schooner ! ” Since I’m making it black and gold for her, I will not be adding the seine boat, for her. Bob
  14. captainbob
    Once again I forgot the scale until you were holding her. She’s a beauty. Bob
  15. captainbob
    Ah another modified boat. This will be fun. Bob
  16. captainbob
    Fine work. Wish I had found you earlier in my build. Bob
  17. captainbob
    Nice work, Dee Dee. I like the way you finished the decks. Bob
  18. captainbob
    The keel is laid and looking good. Good start. Bob
  19. captainbob
    Beautifully done. Bob
  20. captainbob
    Nils, oh what a lovely little boat. I’m so glad it’s being cherished. Bob

    I know you're a master machinist and builder but at 1:8 sale getting a motor like that running is going to be tricky. Bob

    "Does anyone know the secret of keeping the tub from drying out?" If it's a water based filler like Elmers, you need to add water periodically and stir it up. Bob
  23. captainbob
    Nice work. Thanks for showing them before they get covered up. Bob
  24. captainbob
    Thanks popeye, my friend. I was a fun build. But as we build we never know what others will like. Bob
  25. captainbob
    What? At your scale the 12" blocks would be .06" (1.5mm) Hmmm come to think of it, I wouldn't try it either. What you are doing looks great. 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.
