    Very nice sheaved and pinned blocks, Giampiero! What specie of wood are you using?

    Ambitious, but will be fun to fit those pieces!
  4. druxey
    Great news! Delighted to hear this.

    re boarding nets: see conversation on the re-assessment of the 1637 Sovereign of the Seas.

    Well done, Matt! A very nice result.

    The window reworking was a really good 'save'! Well done. Compound curved balustrades are a real challenge that you met too.

    It is unfortunate that the kits do not have a better quality of line. Getting 'real' rope is a game changer!

    Was that double ladderway really like that? It would be every opportunity for a bad accident to happen. Otherwise, good progress.

    At least focussing on the model may provide some distraction.

    Sorry about the kidney stones, Rob - nasty. Lithotripsy, perhaps?

    Coming along very nicely, PA. After the bow is framed, the square frames will be a walk in the park!

    Top and butt was amore economic use and was more likely. Hooked joints were probably only used on larger ships of war for additional reinforcement. I think you would be safe with a (double) strake of top and butt and one strake of butt jointed planks. I'm sure variation occurred between shipyards. In this shipyard, you are master shipwright!

    An interesting solution to 'glazed' windows. Any difficulty with static and dust from milling on the plastic?
  15. druxey
    Shaping up beautifully, Mark!

    Thanks for this morning smile, Ab! A wonderful way to recycle. Heer ter Velde is an original thinker.

    Incredible detail and miniature metalwork!
  18. druxey
    At least you had a good reference with the grid of waterlines and buttock lines, as well as diagonals.
  19. druxey
    Much closer now! Distortion is a pain to eliminate....
  20. druxey
    Looks like serious distortion in the body plan that will need to be addressed.

    Congrats, Clare! A 'launching flags' model would be very attractive - especially if in a diorama setting - and not need rigging, for sure.

    Looking lovely, Cri-cri. Formidable!
  23. druxey
    The lower channel appears to be protective of the chains at dockside.
  24. druxey
    In interesting way to construct a framed hull!
  25. druxey
    Lovely work, despite a drafting error - that so easily can happen!

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.
