Hello, I just got my new serving machine from Domanoff (http://www.shipworkshop.com - thank you for the amazingly fast shipping) and after assembling it I give it a short trial run. I am quite pleased with the results. But I am not there yet so I continued the work on the deck section. First I started making belong pins on my lathe using a method seen here on MSW. I am very happy with how they came also. I still have to do another 6 or so to have them all. Here are some pictures.

Perre, I use different colours of wood as I don't like using paint or stains. The base is maple and I useed it just because it was readily available and it is very heavy and I figured it will be stable for the tall structure. Outer planking is pear, inner is purplheart, the deck is holy and the rails and channels are ebony. Thank you for interest. Alexandru

Hello all, Since I decided not to do any rigging on my Victory model and since I already made the lower main mast and top I decided to start this small side project to use the parts I've already made and also to put at good use the rope machine I bought a while ago. Additionally this will break a bit the monotony of repetitive work on full hull Victory. The section starts at the main mast and ends at the end of main channels and only from the quarter deck up. This allow me to do most of the main mast standing rigging - less the stays. Now I am imagining this project as the full main mast including the yards but no sails. This might change in the future. Here are some pictures with the progress so far. Regards, Alexandru

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.
