    Ah the joys of figuring out how to make an RC boat work. good so far. Bob

    "managed to scrape by (pun intended)." Did you have to say that. Ah, well, it's beautiful work anyway. Bob

    Making your own mini mill. Good start. Bob

    The advantage of building the same thing many times - - - you learn. Bob

    Among the drawings of the schooner Lettie G. Howard there is this one drawing of a typical frame. In the middle of the deck is shown the king plank, which in this case are several narrow planks. It also shows the king plank raised above the deck level. This frame is in the area where the deck is lower. The question is, would this same arrangement of the raised king plank also be on the raised portion of the deck? Bob

    She looks like a fine boat. I don't notice the 1mm. Bob

    I like the vertical planking. I'll have to remember that. Bob

    Tom, Michael, thanks for looking in. I'm with both of you, I am also looking forward to what is next. The Lettie seems to have a mind of her own, but I do like where she's going. Bob
  12. captainbob
    Well done. She's a fine model. Bob
  13. captainbob

    Lawrence, let me know about buying the plans. The picture is fine I can see the similarity. Right on. Bob

    Look at jewelry sites for lost wax casting or centrifugal casting both are used for silver and gold casting which are high temperature and give fine detail. Bob
  18. captainbob
    Good start on a boat that can be fun to build. Bob
  19. captainbob
    Nice start. There are quite a few build logs of this boat here. Search them while the glue dries, but mainly have fun. Bob
  20. captainbob
    Great build, thanks for sharing. Bob
  21. captainbob
    Ah, now its coming together. Bob
  22. captainbob
    Before you get much farther along on this build you need to decide where and how to mount the radio gear and sail sheets. Bob
  23. captainbob
    John I didn't measure mine either. Oh well. Lawrence, I am not that famiilar with the Annie M. Parker but In a quick look around on the web the schooner American Eagle at 97 feet and its plumb bow seems very similar. Bob
  24. captainbob
    What about water? The Bluenose had a fishing crew of 28. At 1 gallon of water per day,(a minimum) that was 840 gallons per month of fishing. Where was that stored? Bob

    Thanks Nils, My hope is to come close to your fine work. 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.
