    Hello, That thing is Huge. Do you have any clue abot the weight of the finished plane?. Nice to see a plane here, i have build and flown some 4 meter sailing gliders, old models as wel as modern ones.

    Hello Chris, I am a bit jealous about your nice workshop. One thing that come to mind with me is a place for your sharpning tools. If you have them ready all the time you actually use it far more and thus you work with sharper tools.

    Disaster!! After working for 3 hours at the carving I tried to make a hole in the center of the crown. Because of the thickness of the wood I thought it might be clever to try it with a small routerbit and my trusted proxxon . It didn't work out at all . Slipped twice and decided after to quit. Next step as unsolving the glue. That also didn't work out well. After soaking in Isopropanol for 8 hours nothing happend . So in the picture is my first attempt to carve. Nice to do but I need a lot of practice .

    Hello all, Thanks for all the likes and advice I recieved, special that of jaager. Thanks for that. Looking forward to start carving.

    Hello all. The disadvantage of living in the Netherlands is that the postal costs for a little package is so enormous ( 15$) that I decided to try to make the blanks myself instead of ordering them at the NRG. At first I printed the paper on 100%. Glued it on a piece of pear of 3,5 mm(~9/64") and started sawing with my litlle proxxon scroll saw. With the help of my trusted loup I was able to make a neat example of a crown. The next very tricky step was to drill the holes with a 0.3 mm (~1/64") drill bit. With the help of some coffee and proper daylight this went well. all the holes went in on the right spot without breaking any drill. Next step will be to mount it on a piece of wood and start carving. The picture is the result of a nice couple of hours.

    Hello all, thanks for the quick reply. Mike, I will look for that link and see if it is what I'm looking for. Gunther and Grant, think that is the method I'm looking for Will make some pictures while making them, although it might be in a couple of months. Joop Ham

    Hello all, Surfing this wonderfull website for over 2 years and looking at all the wonderfull models that are made by true artists I have a question about blocks. Currentlly I am building a cross section of the USS Constitution from Mamoli and the blocks that comes with the kit are terrible. I'm thinking to make them myself and if i'm correct there are some tutorials about making them from Chuck or EdT, however I can't find them. Does anyone know where these tutorials are placed? I've spent a complete evening surching but iI think I'm doing something wrong. With regards, Joop Ham

    Speechless. A marvel of craftmanship.

    Hello Bluto. Looks the problem is on the adjustment of the Y-axis. The hexagonal screws are on the leftside of the machine under the X table. Loosen the nut, tighten with the allen screw and tighten te nut again this should do the trick.

    Hallo reckon54, I admire your eye for detail and craftmanship
  27. Joop-Ham
    Again speechless. I wish you lots of happy building hours on this project for the coming year. Joop

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.
