    Fine work on the turnbuckel it goes well with such a fine boat. Bob

    I see you are moving right ahead. Good job. Bob

    I’m fascinated by the method of construction. Well done. Bob

    Just found this build. It’s interesting to see the changes you are making. Bob
  5. captainbob
    Just don’t forget which edge the frames mount against like I would. Other than that, how do you put the cut lines on the wood? Is it free hand pencil or some sort of iron-on or . . . ? Bob

    Very nice. I like the large hatch instead of two. Bob

    Now that's a sweet looking boat. Well done. Bob

    Planking's looking good, Popeye. Bob

    I think you've got it. Nice job. Bob

    Next time before you cut out the wood parts put the sheet on a copy machine then you will have a paper master and can make as many copies as you want. Bob

    Thanks, Barend, that should be a fine RC boat. Be sure to start a build log so we can all watch. And you might go to the new member forum and tell us something about yourself. Bob

    Well done. She's a beauty. Bob

    Clare, I don’t know about you, but I can come up with all kinds of excuses for me. Bob
  14. captainbob
    ah good, another launch to watch. Bob
  15. captainbob
    Thanks, Popeye. With you saying there’s no stopping me, how can I lose. Alfons, welcome aboard. With all the nice detail on your schooner, you set me quite a challenge for me. Bob

    Ah the joys of RC sailing. Bob

    Looking good. You’ll be a planking expert by the time you finish all your boats. Bob

    I used the Hitec HS-785HB drum servo on my One Meter to handle 600 square inches of sail without any trouble. As Floyd said on RC boats most sails have booms, that is because they are easier to control that way. If you look closely on the T47 RC schooner, even the fore jib has a boom. Bob

    You are right Tim. Scissors are the only way to go on thin plywood. Now she’s looking good. Bob
  20. captainbob
    Thanks Bob. That’s what I expected but it’s nice to know for sure. Bob
  21. captainbob
    Thanks for all the information, but it is the fore topsail that I was wondering about. Is it also lowered and reset on the other side? In which case there would have to be two halyards. Or is it lifted up and over the spring lines, like the fore jib being pulled around the main jib? The rigging of it seems confusing. Bob

    Beautiful work you set a high mark for the rest of us. Bob
  23. captainbob
    Watching the progression of these boats is fun. Hope it’s fun for you as well. Bob
  24. captainbob
    John, it sure would be nice to get then all correct the first time, just once. Pete, Popeye, Thank you both. Bob

    What a sweet wagon. 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.
