    I need to learn how to do that David. Have no experience with casting. Jesse

    Still working on turning the carronades. going very slowly, still not feeling well. Got 11 of them turned. Here is a shot of 3 of them being formed on a dowel, the metal template & various other tools I'm using to make them. Jesse

    I couldn't find much info on rudder coats when I did mine. Wish I had taken more time to research it before I went ahead & made it. The information we learn from your research is just as pleasing as the work you do. Jesse

    She looks too good to keep hidden away for your eyes only! Jesse

    That looks really good Mark Jesse

    Looks very good. I am really liking all the research you are puting into each step of this build. Jesse

    That is an interesting method for the keel. It would be much stronger & straighter. Jesse

    Hi Richard. I have been silently following along. I am trying to use a home made lathe made from my hand rill in my Syren build right now. I'm having trouble getting anything to cut the spinning wood very well. Small files seem to do better than anything else for me. Jesse

    I was thinking the same thing Kevin! Jesse

    Guess I'll be following along too even though I'm not too fond of anything Yankee in that war, lol. This one hits home for me. I am from the area of North Eastern NC between the Chowan & Roanoke Rivers which enter into the Albemarle Sound. My hometown is just across the river from Plymouth near where all this happened. Jesse

    I've done the same thing too (quite a few times). Jesse

    I agree Dave! Jesse

    She's looking beautiful Sal! Jesse

    They are works of art! Jesse

    Made a makeshift lathe out of my drill. Some true Redneck engineering. Pretty crappy looking & it wobbles some but does ok for what I'm doing. Used a bunch of the scrap pieces left over to create the cradle to sit the drill in. I know I could have cut out something that looked better but I don't like to waist anything & this gave me something to use all those scrap cut off ends for. I made it for function not for looks so I'm ok with it. Real life, health & other things are keeping me from getting much done but I am very slowly working on them. I've only turned 4 but they are turning out to be very consistent so far. Wish I could feel better so I could move along a little faster. Jesse

    Wire keeps its shape & holds everything in place but I always use rope. Jesse
  21. JesseLee
    I like it. Looks more realistic. Jesse

    You are a good neighbor Piet. Jesse
  23. JesseLee
    Very nice! Jesse

    Very good Eric. The lip around the gun ports are very nicely done! Jesse

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.
