    Hi Juergen, Your Leopard is looking fabulous. Regards Chris

    Hi Juergen It will be POF. I am currently sourcing the wood at the moment. I am considering beech or I might experiment with English oak for the frames. I am waiting for some samples to arrive so I can try cutting, shaping, sanding and see how it reacts before I decide. The keel will be English oak. I will post as soon as I have anything worth showing! Chris

    Hi Juergen, I am happy we can help you with your English, although I must say it is very very good already – a lot better than my German! I have the same book as you (Rif Winfield's 50-gun ship), however, I am currently drawing the frames and keel sections for a 74-gun ship based on the Bellona Anatomy of the Ship book. I am drawing them in Illustrator to create accurate templates for cutting. This will be my first wooden period ship. I have experience scratch-building other ships/subs but not of this period. Looking at the Anatomy drawings of the Bellona, it appears they also show every other frame too, which will be helpful. Once I get a little further with the drawings I will begin a build log too. Your ship has inspired me to take the plunge and do it after much thinking. Best wishes Chris

    Hi again Juergen, Sorry to keep asking questions! May I ask, how do you get the profile shapes for the frames? I am used to working from bulkhead drawings but these don't have as many cross-sections as a frame plan. Did you draw them yourself? If so, how do you do it? Thanks Chris

    Hi Juergen, That is VERY clever, I have never seen that done before. What an inspirational idea! So simple but effective. Thank you for sharing. I follow this superb build avidly. Best wishes Chris

    Hi Juergen I really admire your build. What method do you use to cut the frames to shape and correct thickness? Do you use a fret/scrollsaw? Or jigsaw? Best regards Chris

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.
