HMS Victory by EdT - FINISHED - 1:96 - POB
druxey replied to EdT's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
I hadn't seen pictures of you Victory before, Ed. You certainly were inspired by C.N. Longridge and have built your model equal to his standards. Tahnks for posting this log. Interestingly, it was his Anatomy of Nelson's Ships that also inspired me years ago. -
Now,that was fun! You might be interested to know about the 'stone boats' that were used by settlers on the Canadian prairies. These were actually wooden sleds to move stones and rocks away as the pioneers cleared the land. When I first came to Canada and heard that expression, my mental image was exactly that of your stone frigate!

Good going so far. Be very careful about covering the frame pattern when assembling floors and futtocks. -

'Sarge' suggested that a lot of expensive machinery is required, but that's not actually true. Sure, it's nice to have powered toys, but everything can be done with decent hand tools, just like the old-timers. Yes, it'll just take a little longer, that's all. -

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.
