    Watchmakers' escapement files are another possibility.

    Patrick: I'm sure that the builders of Mary Rose didn't have access to laser levels and probably the forecastle was a bit 'off'. You may have had it right the first time!

    A very nice, clean finish, Paul. Well done!
  25. druxey
    Beautiful work, as usual!
  26. druxey
    I tension to a high pitched 'ting', but haven't tried to figure out the pitch! The finer the blade, the more tension is needed to prevent deflection in curved cuts. Have you tried black dye on your scrap wood?
  27. druxey
    Lots of meat still left on for fairing!

    A very interesting approach to small-scale modeling. Your machine file system is interesting. How do you keep the file teeth clog-free?
  29. druxey
    Isn't it a fun challenge, Mark? Look like you have things well under control there. I'm currently working on upper quarter galleries that are even more of a challenge. In plan view they are the shape of half a teardrop. Be thankful for small mercies!
  30. druxey
    Very impressive!

    Wow! So many problems with that diagram of the 'Naval Gun'. Carriage is wrong, the hanging knee is under the beam, port much higher than usual.... etc. At least they got the outhaul tackle with two single blocks correct, unless it represents a 36 or 42 pounder! Oh, and how is the breeching secured to the cascabel?

    Chris: Full marks for persistence - and masochism!

    And, in British ships, the names, when painted (this would be the 1760's to about 1790) were simply painted on, never in 3D. This is a conceit of kit manufacturers.
  34. druxey
    The name on the stern does not look original in style to my eye, vossie. But it's your call!
  35. druxey
    Like many contemporary models, the rigging deteriorated with time and was not necessarily restored accurately. Or, as noted by Peter, even replaced!

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.
