    Vossie: we say 'Mole grips', you say '"Vise grips'. Two countries separated by a common language!

    Nice to see something a little less serious once in a while. However, in a fight, wouldn't it be easier just to throw the clog?

    Or HMS Victory....

    Beautifully done, Valeriy!

    Well done on your success, Patrick!

    For a first scratch build, that's pretty impressive!

    Um, that was a cleaned up version, Keith!
  8. druxey
    Very elegant, Kortes!

    Loved your poem on the Planker's Lament! Here is a response, Keith: It takes a while to figure out That you will need to spile. A plank can only bend so far But not the second mile. It will bend and twist all right But edge bends just a bit, Then it's time to spile that plank So that the thing will fit.

    Is it a case of "Do as I say, but not as I do."?

    If you are worried about the joints showing, there's always automotive putty.... We'll never tell!

    Impeccable work as usual, Amalio!
  13. druxey
    Just enjoy St Pat's, Alan!

    Masking the funnels for painting must have been interesting! The finished result looks far superior to the brass rod stealth versions.

    Well done, both Paul and Wefalck, for demonstrating the application of machining techniques to complex shapes.
  16. druxey
    Thought: would producing spars to four- or eight-square shape by machine be a practical proposition? It is then easy for the modeler to round off eight-square spars using strips of sandpaper. The spar is held in a vise and the sandpaper 'sawed' back and forth, rotating the spar every few strokes. No lathe or electric drill required!

    Nice to see you back at work on her, Patrick.

    Good for you to be willing to go up the learning curve, Chris. There will be scrap (with and without the 'c'!), but the end result will be well worth it.

    Take a look at the instructional files included on on this site, such as 'A primer on planking'. Look at the top of the column on this section and click. These should answer all your planking questions!

    Brilliant work as usual, Doris. I'm sorry that pictures of your work have been pirated as someone else's. While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it is really annoying that an inferior product is being marketed using your images. Perhaps add a watermark on your pictures as well? An unscrupulous person could easily remove your copyright sign and name using Photoshop! It's a shame that there are those sorts of people out there.
  21. druxey
    Yes! Completely dry. Otherwise water content will turn to rapidly steam with heat....

    Good save, Gary! She's coming along nicely.
  23. druxey
    Now the collar won't get chafed and worn through.
  24. druxey
    Your reconstruction is logical and mechanically sound, Dick. I'd buy it!
  25. druxey
    Wonderful detail for the small scale you work at, Javier!

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.
