    HM Brig Supply by Hoppy - Caldercraft - build by Phillip Hopkins

    Hi Hoppy....... your build is looking good...... the bow came out with a real nice run..... unfortunately  the stern need some work   Mike was correct about the bevel on the last bulkhead

    you didn't have enough. with out redoing the whole planking again you might try cutting back those planks that are cracked on the last bulkhead and try putting in a balsa filler block at the stern and just re-plank those small pieces. you have to get a nice run there. I built this same ship a few years ago. You can ck it out by clicking on mhy finished builds thats on my signature.

    Good Luck and have fun!!~

    Michael.... that is such a cool technique......I really like the way you run the line up thru the pin  hole and secure it the way you show...... really eliminates a lot of frustration trying to secure the line to the belaying pin..... the coils look spot on ,I'll book mark this page for future reference....... again........ GREAT!! work... Wish I had known this method earlier:default_wallbash:..........:D:D.......

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.
