    Surely a pair of pumps would be more practical? This silliness has to stop soon....
  2. druxey
    Although those illustrations are 'modern' proportions.

    Alignment looks great, even under magnification, Pat. Well done!
  4. druxey
    A saboat?

    Pre-planning is always worth the time spent on it. She is looking very nice indeed, Eric.
  6. druxey
    Well done!

    Despite your not being happy with this model, it is very nice and cleanly done, Dan. Looking forward to your next model!

    What about simply referring to this as a Transitional rig?

    If you are relying on any glue holding wood in place without pre-bending it to shape first (except, perhaps CA), you will be disappointed. See the planking tutorials at the top of this section for more information.

    I agree with pear, although holly bends very well also.

    Whoops - a bark she is. A brig she was. Thank you for the correction. Frolick!

    I can't dis-boot that point, Carl.
  13. druxey
    Definitely a Victorian era brig.

    ...he said, archly.

    Hope you have a quick recovery, Rob. Sounds most unpleasant.
  16. druxey
    Beautifully done, Frank - almost too neat!
  17. druxey
    it's time to give us all the boot!
  18. druxey
    Wood it fit?

    Keith needs a lacey-faire attitude, I think. Then he can tie up safely.

    Hopefully there are some nearby eyelets to swim over to.
  21. druxey
    I suppose if she takes on water, she may heel over....

    Depending on their diameter, Keith, if there is a suitably sized Forstner style drill bit available, it will cut clean holes for you. Alternatively, drill a smaller diameter hole and carefully open it out using a broach.

    Thanks, Dick. Very informative!

    Amalio: isn't it easier to clean up PVA glue squeeze-out with a damp (or wet) brush before it dries? That's been my practice for years.
  25. druxey
    Now you can ring 'full speed ahead!' Nicely done, Keith. It looks much better.

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.
