    Mike, If you haven't found them yet, here's a few builds here on MSW. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/327-le-fleuron-by-gaetan-bordeleau-124/ http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/246-le-fleuron-by-cabrapente/ http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/246-le-fleuron-by-cabrapente/ http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/178-le-fleuron-by-rekon54-1729-124/ There might be a few more in the scratch area that I missed.

    Sweet work, Matt. Historically, old damaged cannons were used for ballast so thumbs up for that also.

    I never, ever would have considered brass for that... But it looks a lot better than the wood so it's well worth it.

    Have a safe trip home, Jack.

    Beautiful, Nenad. Thanks for posting them. I'm with Carl... it's something I'd love to see in person.

    Bill, You might also have a look here.. http://www.littlemachineshop.com/default.php There's a lot of good information there. Edit.. forgot to add this one also: http://www.mini-lathe.com/mini_mill/Main/mini-mill.htm

    Richard, I'm not sure what the P/N on mine is... but here's a link to a review I did: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/256-micromark-micromill-review/ It's not an upgrade as such but more of a backyard mechanic kludge. I took off both pulleys and re-machined them on the lathe such that they fit on the opposite shafts from original. I hope that makes sense. If I get some time, I'll pop off the pulley cover and take a picture.

    Nice looking catheads, Ulises. (Those are used in getting the anchor back on board the ship.) Looks like you're getting into the fiddly things now.

    You should be happy, Kevin. She's looking great.

    Paul, What are the bricks made of? For grout, maybe some glue with paint mixed in although I have no idea what would work. I wonder what the railroad guys use?

    Lovely work, Russ. She's coming together beautifully.

    Very nice work, Bob. I'm with John.. how the heck did you do that?

    Nice work on the deck, Denis. It has that slightly weathered look to my eye. I'm happy that it was nothing serious that nailed you. Paint fumes? Some paint hit me hard.

    Patrick, this is just more than amazing. That photo with all three decks spread out is beyond comprehension. Just so much detail to see. Congratulations on the chairs. Those are a wonderful touch.

    What about casting the windows out of resin, drilling the hole and epoxying them into place?

    What a feast for the eyes and the brain. Fantastic work, Nils.

    Bill, Try it once you get it and test it. If you get acceptable results, then that's great. If you think a higher speed will help, than the speed upgrade is the ticket. I have the MM Mini which now discontinued and after reworking the pulleys I can see the difference in milling wood at 2500 rpm and 10,000+ rpm. When this thing dies, I would go with the Sherline and speed kit upgrade.

    I have had to go back several times for the dolphins. They look carved and the detail is incredible.
  20. mtaylor
    That is one remarkable stove, Paul. Well done!
  21. mtaylor
    No matter how many times I see one your small boats being built, I'm still astounded.
  22. mtaylor
    Thanks for the offer. I did get the ANCRE English version of Belle Poule when it was released late last year. It's been a big help.
  23. mtaylor
    Tedious to do but beautiful in the end. Well done, Bug. I agree with Jack and I'll add.. Augie would be smiling

    Just astounding work, Mike.

    I wondered where you got off too... This should be a fun build to watch.

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.
