    Thanks Aldo, I used Hubert's method to make the sails. It's a pretty simple process. and what i like is that there is no sewing involved. The only thing I added to the cloth was a hem on the top of the sail to accept the lacing. I'm doing everything pretty much by eye, as I have no info or pictures to go by as to the size of the sails.I'm working on the sprit sail now,a ssoon as I have it set I'll post some pictures. Frank

There are a few Badger builders here, so I'm sure you'll get all the help you might need. If you decide to weather your build , I'd be more than happy to help ypu in any way I can. Have Fun.!! Frank

    Popeye, you should really do a weathered trawler, you definetly have the talent to do that. Those trawlers are work horses,they always look beat up. Go for IT!!!!!!

    Hi Danny........ let me just say it's so nice to see you getting your log back together again. This and your Supply logs were just Classic works. I'm sure there are many here that have taken advatage of your expertise in putting these logs together. I for one have used your Supply log constantly, and it has helped me better my work. I don't know what your plans are for that log,but I'm happy that I had the chance to take advantage of it when it was available. Thank you so much for your help Danny! Frank

    Yeah, I"m like Patrick.I didn't see this on the old site either........ Let me ask you, do you ever sleep ,eat, or whatever a person does??? You never cease to amaze me! Where do you find the time, you must live in two diffewrent worlds....... and what makes it more incredable, is that your builds are all terrific !! You'er starting to out do yourself ! Frank P.S. I didn't realize you jumped to the dark side until today.

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.
