    Fort Duquesne still exists or at least the site is preserved. For those interested..... https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/PointStatePark/Pages/default.aspx

    Welcome to MSW, Swallowtail. I can't add anything to what the others have said. Just be sure to enjoy the journey.

    Thanks, Kris. That all makes sense.

    Beautiful work, Kevin. A very graceful looking vessel.

    Would the figureheads have been taken off when the ship was buried for some purpose, maybe burying it separately or offering it as a sacrifice to the gods? Seems odd they never found any except the one.

    Fascinating build, Hellmuht. One question from my ignorance... is the outside of the hull planked over the ropes? I'm trying to visualize how they kept the water from leaking in.

    Very interesting indeed. The diversity of cargo and the containers along with the languages is fascinating.

    Rich, Are your blades dull? Are you using the right tooth count for the thickness? There is an optimum feed speed and an optimum tooth count for every type and every thickness of wood. Generally, you should try to get 3 teeth in the cut... one going in, one in the center, and one exiting. There is a document that while written for the Byrnes saw, works well for just about every hobby table saw. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/23843-byrnes-saw-reference-also-good-for-other-desktop-hobby-saws/

    Mugje, If' youi've been scratch building parts for your models, you're off to a good start. If you're uncomfortable starting scratch, start simple maybe the Triton cross-section. You don't even need to complete it, just learn how to frame, etc.

    I didn't know that, OC. Way back in the day of my doing such things, packs were separate and sometimes things like belts and scabbards were also. But the detailing wasn't as good as it is today.

    Lovely work on the keel. As for re-making parts.... the scrap bin is always hungry and constantly needs feeding.
  32. mtaylor
    I'd go with the lamp you made. It looks the part, color, shape, etc.

    Ah...well take my idea and dump in the trash bin.

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.
