    Enjoy your time out, and with no guilt feelings! Pesky customers can wait.

    Yup, they always are! But digging out information is like a treasure hunt - and the thrill of discovery.
  27. druxey
    Your first model looks pretty good despite all the mistakes you mentioned! Welcome aboard. We all learn from many mistakes. Fortunately there is plenty of good advice and also tutorials on this site that will help you. Have fun.

    It appears that the bulkheads start at the bow (top right) and are in sequence going left, then continue right to left in the second row. However, without any labels it is not certain. There are 11 slots in the backbone, but only 9 bulkheads. Who supplies such incomplete information?
  29. druxey
    I think most readers here understand that different folk like to work at their own level and most will respect that. As James (an Administrator with a capital 'A') said, the armchair arrogants usually end up elsewhere.... Welcome aboard!

    Just pulling up a seat for this one. Looking good!
  31. druxey
    Sweet!
  32. druxey
    Great going - especially the 'fiddly bits'!
  33. druxey
    Lovely work as usual. However, I am curious; Why do you not use a drawplate and split bamboo to make your treenails? It's much more time and labor effective.
  34. druxey
    Good questions. I think you need to do your own research. Look online in the RMG site. Check not only the plans, but contemporary model photos as well. An example: https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-66464 Blow up this image. Although lo-res, you can see that the fore face of the bollard timber projects forward of the hawse timbers, above the line of planking - in this case.

    Freehand drilling? I usually drill an undersized hole, then open it out making any correction.

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.
