    Hi Jonny, The only issue (and really it ain't a biggy to be fair) that I have with CMB is pretty much like David's in that they show items in stock which patiently are not, reference the time taken to deliver (once I was waiting 6 weeks for an order.. ).. my fastest delivery from them was 3 days (but that was the exception it must be said) it is usually around 1 to 2 weeks. Every package received was as ordered though! ... I just wish they stocked Holly and Basswood !! Eamonn

    That little boat in CMB looks perfect Mate.. E

    Ken is spot on with Basswood, though I think for some unknown reason it is weirdly hard to locate over our side of the pond and don't get me started on Holly.. probably be easier to go and cut down a tree then whittle it to the sizes you need!! I'm sure it is out there somewhere though. BTW I refer to our pre sized timber, not stuff you need to Mill and Thickness Sand etc. All The Best Eamonn

    I'm probably 2 month's or so (yea right!!) away from finishing Ballier (David is flying along though).. pretty much everything i need is now either assembled or just about ready to go (no more waiting for the Postman hopefully) Balsa for the Bulkheads Hmmmm might be a tad soft bud.. think about MDF or marine ply, there would be lots of better advice of that nature on here somewhere mind you.. but I've seen folks get great use out of the mdf (some found the ply distorts too easily.. even though they bought dead flat sheets, something about storage I think.. moisture or lack of.. etc but it can easily 'ish' be flattened) Dee_Dee on here is almost finished building a cracking good French working boat (sloop) which may give you some ideas! Just looked at her build and it is in fact an Oyster Smack.. so bit of a result there I say! http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/6802-sloup-by-dee-dee-corel-125-sloup-coquillier-shell-fish-sloop-shepherdess-from-domr%C3%A9my-glacial-boatworks/ Don't forget to link us to the new Oyster Smack build by the way, should love to follow that along!

    Great Stuff Mate.. Myself and David M will be doing a 'Group' (just the 2 of us ) Sherbourne build as soon as we finish our Ballahoos.. but I suspect you will have your Sherry nearly done by that time Now crack open the Captain and have a great evening ! All The Very Best to ye Both Eamonn

  12. egkb
    That's the 'Mouse'.. if you do a search here on MSW you should find a few samples of how others did it or faked it for that matter. Hope this is of some help. Eamonn

    Enjoy Victory Bud.. she is on my 'to do list' with Mary Rose, Warrior, Cutty Sark & Chatham.. I plan on doing them all in one shot (have already done Greenwich a few times inc twice before it was changed) Eamonn

    Probably for the best Mark.. no point in going on if you aren't happy, the good thing is that I should imagine you will catch up to where you are now in no time at all, having already done most of it before ! All The Very Best Eamonn

    Hey there Badger, you are off to a brilliant start.. I totally understand wishing to change the kit Walnut with something else.. There are quiet a few Sherbournes on the go on this site (I'll be beginning one in the next few months too) and I look forward to following your build along. All The Best Eamonn

    Spot on Kester the 'slots' are indeed present .. Thank you for the complement.. coming from you it is praise indeed !! much blushing going on over here.. mind you I'll probably end up breaking the boat in half getting them in place.. E

    She Looks Beautiful.. nice clean work (wish I could say the same.. ) All The very Best Eamonn
  25. egkb
    She is Brilliant Mate.. Great job on the rigging and your decision to add those extra bits will only make her better! I totally agree with Ken's comment above.. get yourself some decent lights.. I picked up 2 of those LED with Magnifier jobs (the led's go all around the magnifier) in Lidl a few weeks ago for about €35 each (usual price for same produce elsewhere €65.. they are the business) Stay Well Bud Eamonn

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.
