    Looks like you are doing a great job to me. I'll be following your log closely Cheers Rowan

    Looking immaculate. Beautiful lines and so smooth

    Thanks Jerry, If I can't get them in Australia I can easily get them shipped to my US address and diverted to me in Australia if they ship to US. Thanks for the link. It was very useful. Kind regards Rowan

    I've got a 5 bedroom house for 3 of us, so I guess that gives me 2 rooms for ships if the other half lets me!

    I couldn't even spot the mistake! You are well above my level ! Hehe it's like listening to guys at work talk cryptic crosswords

    That's the deal I got. Also got the Syren last deal, and the victory costs section, I was very tempted get get the endeavour and Victory since they were over 80% off. It's addictive and I haven't beef started building yet

    I know the US model uses 110v, I'm not sure what Qubec uses. I've ordered one for Australia that uses 240V, and have a transformer to drop it to 110V Maybe that could be the issue if you rub a higher voltage ? Cheers

    Think I'll add this baby to my list seeing it is massively discounted on model expo currently!

    Wow! You are an absolute machine Popeye! I love the staining job. I never knew colour could change the appearance so dramatically. I'll be following this one with interest, watching you solve problems and scratch build is teaching me a lot! Thank you Rowan

    Absolute genius. Now that would save time, and get things perfect every time. I was imaging doing 1000s by hand and hoping I got them lined up closely. Thanks for explaining, it makes perfect sense now. I just didn't see the Perspex

    G'day Brian, you don't happen to know where I could find that technique guide. I'm still deciding what I'll do. I've ordered a draw plate incase I do true tree nails, but maybe the putty trick might work if I can get the correct colour match. Cheers Rowan

    Excellent job! I've just ordered the Corel Victory cross section but unfortunately it's not the bow. Wish I knew this one existed before I bought my one as I like it better. Your planning and workmanship is fantastic and I'll get a lot of tips from you. Cheers Rowan

    I've ordered the Syren from model expo, and the Corel Victory cross section. Just waiting for them to arrive. I can't wait to start building the Syren, but the two or so weeks waiting has given me a lot of research reading, and butterflies. Cheers Rowan
  14. Pygothian
    Thanks Augie! I'll be sure to check it out. You can never do enough research on how the experts do things. Kind regards Rowan
  15. Pygothian
    I'm hoping you managed to save those 135 photos and your log, or someone else. I'd love to see it in preparation for my build Cheers!

    My wife wants me to build the Mayflower as she has seen and been in the real thing apparently. I think I will need to get a little more practice first. Well done on your beautiful ship! Rowan
  17. Pygothian
    I'm just a newbie, but are you able to explain the jig you made for the tree nailing. I'm not really sure what I'm looking at Thanks
  18. Pygothian
    I envy your workmanship
  19. Pygothian
    "Jaw drops"
  20. Pygothian
    Looks fantastic mate. Are they real tree nails, if so what technique did you use ? There are so many options I'm not sure which method, but I do like your outcome
  21. Pygothian
    Looking pretty good! After seeing everyone's paint jobs, I think I will give it a go, rather than natural. I don't want to hijack your post, but what brand paints did you use ? Cheers Rowan
  22. Pygothian
    Wow! That is one impressive model. One day I hope I will be able to try something at that level. I look forward to your progress!
  23. Pygothian
    Wow....I'm impressed. Why didn't I think of that Ulises!? My wife has several of these laying around the house.
  24. Pygothian
    Wow! The planking is immaculate. Looks so precise and clean
  25. Pygothian
    Watching your build is making me nervous. I will never be able to do my Syren justice when it arrives and I start. Cheers Rowan

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.
