    Well done for making the correction! The dolphins thank you as well.
  2. druxey
    It is a fascinating rabbit hole down which to wander!

    Welcome aboard, RH. There are plans of the Fish class in the Royal Museums Greenwich collection: https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-85908 https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-85907 https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-85909

    Often the stay part of the channel is narrower than the main part; the Boston example above indicates this variation.

    Great impression, Keith! And yes, wefalk, 'modern' synthetic is braided rather than spun. However, I suppose one strand of spun line could be colored to give the correct impression.

    Good on you for making it right, Rob!

    Thank s for these examples, Waldemar. Would you consider that some of these curves may also have been made using a tapered batten pulled, bow fashion, into a curve?
  8. druxey
    Congratulations and well done, Toni. Lovely result of a sweet subject. Of course, now the the question is; what next?
  9. druxey
    Very instructive, Waldemar! Thank you for that. I've been studying English derivation of ship's lines in the 1680's. Many curves are based on circular arcs, but not all. Some are based on the cono-cuneus curve.

    Superb work as ever, Keith. Perhaps I missed this; but how did you replicate the color-coded synthetic line?
  11. druxey
    Very neat work!
  12. druxey
    Iron (or 'yron') knees take up much less valuable room inboard than wooden ones, so it is a logical choice.
  13. druxey
    Nice to see you reappear, Claire! That is a sweet prototype to model.
  14. druxey
    At this point you can probably rig this mast in your sleep. Perhaps that's what you dream about anyway!

    Nice to see you back, Michael. You can always post the GWR coach build log on "Shore leave" - hint!
  16. druxey
    I understand the generation of the curve aft from '1', but how do you define the curve from '1' to the stem?
  17. druxey
    A slitting saw blade on a table saw. Heat-softening the brass first and some wax while cutting will help. Mounting the brass on a sacrificial wood backing will also ease the job.
  18. druxey
    Lovely work on all the scores needed in the beams for the carlings.
  19. druxey
    I believe that painted canvas was also used over roofs.
  20. druxey
    Nicely interpreted from the photos, Dan. Glad to read that things are improving for you.
  21. druxey
    The cut-outs are both bravely and well done, Mark! I well can imagine your hesitance.
  22. druxey
    Just found this build log. Very impressive and educational as to the details of construction as compared to other countries' systems.
  23. druxey
    Dear Ariana; 'twas ever thus....
  24. druxey
    Looking great so far!
  25. druxey
    Well! That's a different approach. 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.
