    Sweet, Mike! Very clean work. Your clamps look like a useful addition to the workshop.

    This looks like it's going to be another fascinating reconstruction! Interesting start, Dick.

    Another factor to consider is that wood movement is greater across the grain than along it. That will affect any empirical measurements you might make.

    Here is the cover design showing the model:

    An interesting challenge! Look forward to see how you will deal with this banana shaped hull.

    Redshirt: Yes, all the frames, etc., are lofted for you on the plan set. DocBlake: I'm sure you could enlarge plans to 1:24 for your private use. Davyboy: Sorry to read that postage rates are so steep to Switzerland.
  7. druxey
    Yes, that is correct, 1:48.

    Very impressive, Dan!

    I love the angled dovetail joints!

    All the best for next week, John.

    Very nice metalwork, Pat!
  12. druxey
    Beautiful workmanship as ever. However, I'm confused: isn't the garboard strake the outer plank or plate next to the keel? Or is this term applied differently in metal ships?
  13. druxey
    Methodical or what? Very nicely done, Ed.
  14. druxey
    An impressive start, Ilhan!
  15. druxey
    Either way, you are ahead of us!

    "The bit that curves up" is the deadwood. I'm interested to see how this all turns out!

    That aft twisty piece is a beast, but you've tamed it beautifully, Mike! The full size aft platform clamp must have been really interesting to install on the real ship.

    Just catching up with you on this build, Joe. Very nice and clean work. Yoru client had better appreciate it!

    Lovely work, as well as educational reading! Thank you, Clare.
  20. druxey
    Great comments and insight, Clare!
  21. druxey
    Outhaul tackle would be required as well, surely?
  22. druxey
    Nice to see the correct number of reef points per cloth! If you need right hand line and only have right hand thread, you can unwind the thread and rewind it left handed before spinning right hand line from it.
  23. druxey
    Welcome back, Clare! Nice to see progress on your model.
  24. druxey
    Nice planning and execution on the workshop storage units!
  25. druxey
    Formidable, Patrick! Those were well worth re-making. Well done.

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.
