    Try your local hardware store. If they don’t have it McMaster Carr has it. They call it: 1008 Carbon Steel—Black-Oxide Finish .014 dia. http://www.mcmaster.com/#metal-wire/=sltk0h

    Bob, that is quite a story. I thought I heard late last year that she had been moved to dry-dock. There are so many stories about her present state that it is hard to know the truth. I also thought it should have gone to Pearl Harbor where she would be at home. Arkansas probably got her due to some political favor. I still hope to build the City of Oakland someday but there are many others to build first. Thanks for the letter. Bob

    I like that method of caulking. It’s nice and crisp. I used it on my dragon deck. Bob

    What an interesting concept of using clay in this way. It should work beautifully. That’s really thinking “outside the box”, or is it “inside the hull”. Oh, well. Can’t wait to see the drawings happen. Bob

    Yes. Walt, take care of "things", the boats will wait. Bob

    Great idea on the spring. I’ve seen a lot of static boats with sagging rigging that could use that idea. Bob

    Ah, and she's a fine little boat. Bob

    I don’t know how I missed this build for so long. But I’m here now to admire and learn from your fantastic skills. Thanks for sharing. Bob

    Where did you find the gnomes and elves you hired to build at that scale? They are doing a great job. If I were you I'd keep them around. Bob

    Popeye, where is a picture of the scroll saw jig? Sounds like something I could use. Bob

    Thanks, Bill. I'll take a look. Bob

    So let's go sailing. Bob

    I agree with Piet. What more can be said. Bob

    Quite a job, but the profile is looking good. Bob

    Ooooh, I think this is going to be fun. Bob

    Ah, the joys of kit building. Bob

    Good start. Bob

    Looks like quite a project. Bob
  23. captainbob
    I have a skipjack on my list of, "To be built," boats. I'll be watching. Bob

    I know that I'd have a hard time working on this cutter with the 20 ftr in the shed. Bob

    She's comming along nicely. 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.
