    Beautiful wook, and you're right, can't have much of a fire in that stove. Bob

    But right now it's the fun of making plywood. Bob

    That planking is looking good. Bob

    Russ, Mauro, Michael, Someday I will have to take painting classes to come up to what people see. Thanks all. Yes the deck is next. Bob

    Finally it’s painted. Filler, sand, filler, sand and sand and sand, then paint, mask and more paint . . . finally. Well here it is. Oh, yes. I still need to add that gold stripe. Bob

    Thanks Nils, The Lettie was the last of the Fredonia model schooners out of Gloucester. Thanks to you showing us how to build fine models, I hope to dress her well. Bob

    Nice. I would probably have drawn the ovals closer together and missed out on such a find and all the fun. Bob

    Beautiful! I can almost see her in a full dress of sails. Nice job. Bob
  9. captainbob
    Nice work on those chain plates. Bob
  10. captainbob
    What a nice boat. I hope the skipper can keep her off the rocks. Bob

    You're thinking way outside the box now. All I can do is sit back and watch your ideas come together. Bob

    The small boats are nice. If you get much smaller you can put them in a bottle. The double cloths pin clamp is great, thanks. Bob

    Glad you didn't freeze without the oil heat. Must have been hard building the boat with gloves on. She's looking good. Bob
  14. captainbob
    Well done, she look great. Bob
  15. captainbob
    Great work. Will the captains boat have a build log of it's own? Bob
  16. captainbob
    Sorry to hear the glass didn't set. You'll get it next time. Bob
  17. captainbob
    A nice boat taking shape. Bob

    "One never stops learning when it come to machining it seems." You're right, and you're one of the teachers. Bob

    Nice eye splice with just the right number of tucks. And it stretched nicely over the thimble. Well done. I've done this type of work on full sized rope and know what it takes, you make it look so easy. Bob
  20. captainbob
    I agree. Most of the boats I build need to be wood. But there are times for brass, and metal ships need brass. My HOGA would have been much better in brass. Bob
  21. captainbob
    Looks good. I'm sure going to use the Dremel collet idea. Thanks. Bob
  22. captainbob
    What a lovely boat. Looks like a fine sailer. Bob
  23. captainbob
    As always your work is beautiful. One day I hope to build in brass like that. Bob
  24. captainbob
    You mean you could tell it wasn't correct before you glued it? WOW! I wish I could do that. Bob
  25. captainbob
    Just found you. Good start. 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.
