    Lovely work, despite a drafting error - that so easily can happen!

    Superb, as usual, Gary!

    Everything was standardised! The Fully Framed Model lists and shows these (page 211): Leaguer 4' 6" x 2' 9", puncheon 3' 6" x 2' 8" and hogshead 3' 1" x 2' 4". Construction was also standard. Powder barrels had withy rather than iron hoops, for obvious reasons!
  26. druxey
    Just stumbled on your log. The model looks beautifully done. Love the canework!
  27. druxey
    Looking great so far!

    The foot bars are called stretchers. Some are simply vertical pieces of plank that fit into slots on longitudinal pieces each side of the boat or between vertical struts.

    Thank you for this primer in proper usage of images, Chris.
  31. druxey
    Impressive little beasties! Well done, Chuck.
  32. druxey
    Yes, Greg, you are correct: She is. The model is much more advanced now than in the photo posted. The hull, decks and fittings are almost complete. The headwork will shortly commence. But I don't want to hijack your exemplary build!

    The principle of a tally stick or tick strip is an old and very reliable one for transferring measurements error-free. You will find this very useful in many applications while building a model, Chris. I have a small pile of paper and card strips that I use for the purpose.
  34. druxey
    Those frames will never get away.... Seriously, that is a very nice keel assembly. Looking very good.

    That is a magnificent pond yacht that you have there! Would shoe eyelets be about the right size?

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.
