    I have to say it, John ..... she looks perfect!

    Nice work all around. I can understand how those rat lines wore you down, considering the height you had to work at. Best wishes to Sjors, Anja as well as you and the Admiral for all the milestones! I thought Sjors was only to be 58 but I guess he's aged quickly this last year!

    OK Grant ---- you got me on that one. British subjects are pretty good in their native tongue. Being born in Brooklyn, I consider English as my second language Alas, both the friend and the Chapelle were apparently Shang-hai'd !

    Nice run on the gun ports. Using those spacers pays off. Good progress!

    Thanks for that excerpt Richard. I once had a copy of that book in my library but lent it to a friend. I still have his History of American Sailing Ships and enjoy re-reading it every now and again.

    Me thinks they be fife rails, mate!

    Lovely color there Robert. If there's room, think I'll sign on!

    The new case was worth every penny (or whatever you folks use for legal tender) you invested. The black base is a great idea. Now ---- as for Viking funerals.......I'll have none of it! Your Cutty Sark is a proud ship that has stood the test of time. Some respect, PLEASE!

    I'm with everyone on this. I generally plank from the wales on upward before I do the lower sections. It's there that I divide into belts. So leave what you have. Your first layer of planking merely serves as a solid underbase for your final planking giving you a smooth, evenly flowing base. So don't be afraid to use some filler if you need to....and sandpaper is your friend. Between the dvd's and the tutorials on here you'll master the technique that's best for you. Every one on here learns with each new build and (hopefully) gets better. Start that build log and don't be afraid to ask questions if you're unclear on anything. MSW can be a great resource.

    I'd say you've made a wise choice, Shacky.

    Next time, why not try it on the top of the Baby Grand piano Looks good!

    ......except for the airborne sawdust, CA and paint fumes !

    Welcome home. Sure hope that hand heals up ASAP. Like the recent movie says, there's 'A Million Ways to Die, in the West'.

    Have a safe trip and hurry home !

    Luck my foot. Good job

    SOME of us trust you and will patiently await your photo reveal!

    Yikes.....sorry to hear about the problem but you've made a nice recovery. I have to agree that, no matter how much it may irk me to get nothing done for a day, those 30 minute bursts can sometimes result in an 8 hour step backwards.

    What's a couple of years between friends. You can always post a picture of a California sunset.

    Nice and symmetrical P/S. Well done!!!!
  20. augie
    Very, very nice on both the anchors and the stocks. Well done, mate!
  21. augie
    Agreed. It only takes that one piece to win the day. And I see you have a PC to keep track of your spare parts. Nice touch!

    As I recall I treated that as a letter, as opposed to a number, and placed it facing the bow. Worked out fine. Also, leaving the laser char on the outer edges at this point will actually help when it comes to fairing the bulkheads.

    I've got 3 boxes myself, each 48 x 12 x 8.......but they're full of scrap balsa and spruce for the airplanes --- not much use here!
  24. augie
    How about a plywood rim, maybe 1/8" thick? A little tricky but nothing you couldn't handle !!!!!!

    Really nice job on that funnel. Unbelievable!

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.
