    Yes, been there done that. You think of all kinds of things when you're "in the zone". Bob

    Yes Michael, I'm with you. I drew on a board before AutoCad and then when 3d came along I switched to SolidWorks. And for most of that time the software developers have talked about designing a program that could do the conversion. Since I have been away from the industry for so long I was only wondering if a conversion program was ever perfected. Oh well. Bob

    Pete48, you sure have that right. Isn't modeling fun? Bob

    Thanks Tom, that seems to be the problem with all I've seen. They vecrorize into pionts or short lines and the you still have a lot of work to do. Bob

    For years there has been talk of software that will convert raster (scanned) drawings to vector drawings so they can be used with cad software. Is there one on the market that works? It would be a lot easier than having to trace scanned plans. Bob

    When I built my Dragon Class, I built it so that everything that could move did just to see if I could. Even the sail slid up the mast in its groove. I will not do it again but it was nice to know I could. Bob

    Starting to show her lines and she's looking good. Bob

    So am I. I need to make the masts first. I only get to build about 4 or 5 hours a week and with having to make 60 hoops and 50 belaying pins things don't go that fast. Bob

    Thanks for the size referance. Your rigging is fantastic. Bob
  12. captainbob
    Looks to me like you're having lots of fun. Keep it up. Bob

    Novice or not you did a fine job. Bob
  14. captainbob
    Restoations are tricky in that you don't want it to show what's new and what's old. You've done a great job. Bob

    Thank you Maris, Bob

    Russ, don't know how I missed this. Very nice addition to your Biloxi fleet. Bob

    Thank you Maris. I hope I can finish it to your standards. Bob

    Beautiful work. bob

    Regardless of what you might hear, they’re tricky for everyone. Bob

    This looks like a fun build. I'm pulling up a chair now. Bob
  22. captainbob
    Well done. I'll let you paint my waterline anytime. Bob
  23. captainbob
    I like natural wood, although I paint most of my boats. I am not familiar with carracks so I do not know what is correct I only know I like it as it is. Bob
  24. captainbob
    Thanks I would love to drive over and see her but living in Arizona that's kind of hard to do. Bob
  25. captainbob
    Nice looking hull. Well done. 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.
