    A wonderful effect. I like the way you're hiding the wiring also.

    Jeff, Have a look here at Gil's build. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/485-hms-victory-by-gil-middleton-caldercraft-172/page-2#entry9619 I think he would have picked up on the lashings if they were there.

    There's some good tutorials here: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-framing-and-planking-articles.php And if you go to the top of this forum area: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/forum/14-building-framing-planking-and-plating-a-ships-hull-and-deck/ there's three pinned posts.

    I don't think any of the rest of noticed it. I know I didn't. Maybe it's the way the sheer rail flows, but probably was looking at the great craftsmanship.

    Are you using the soft yellow beeswax like that used for sealing the toilet (loo) to the waste pipe? There is a hard, white, beeswax used by carpenters.

    Jeff, Treenailing is always a builder option.. Moreso at the smaller scales. Do what you'll be happiest with.

    Get healthy Dave. That's the first order of things.. always.

    Nicely done on Her Majesty, Nenad. I'm happy you and kids have each other and the road trips are good.

    Looking very good, Michael. I see some beautiful lines and hull shapes starting to come out.

    The only Wynaud I can find is the 1854 tea clipper. Is that the one? It might be a tough project as there doesn't appear to be any pans of her. Only a couple of pictures/illustrations. She also underwent some renovations as to rig and it would appear deck structures... so a point in time would be helpful to anyone wanting to build it. Good luck. Hopefully, someone can point you in the right direction as far as building this ship.

    I go along with the rest.. the lighting is great!!!!!

    Don't rush out and get one... yet. Chuck sells a lot of different sizes. At some point, as the others have pointed out, you'll want something different. Maybe color or size, then it's time to think ropewalk.

    I'm failing miserably here. Brains are mush....

    Excellent detective work, Henry and Dafi....

    Little fishy's??? Hmm... you might just be on to something since we don't have any real insight. I would think inspection could be logical... but to be that widespread and in the similar location? Hmm.. given the way things were done, it's possible... Where's that damn time machine we were promised back in the 50's-60's and I want the flying car too!!!!!

    Wow... it looks to me like your ships just keep get smaller and smaller... and still with lots of details.

    Define "large amount"...? (he says nervously looking at his lumber supply). Enough for the ship abuilding? or the current one and the next? I don't have a stack of lumber drying in the yard, but I'm thinking I have enough to finish my current build and get me well on my on the next. I think I'm scaring myself.....

    Jud, The catch is, these don't seem to be random. The pictures that have been shown seem to show them in about the same area of the rudder. A bit of a conundrum methinks....
  19. mtaylor
    Thanks Brian.
  20. mtaylor
    I like it the after look.. just crisper.
  21. mtaylor
    Is it only 6 foot or is that a limit set by the door height? I'm just curious if one hung it say out of a second floor window? On the other hand, I have his planetary and the only limit is the spool sizes.
  22. mtaylor
    Beautiful!!!!!!
  23. mtaylor
    Congrats Danny... A wonderful build and tutorial and I hope the celebration goes well also.
  24. mtaylor
    Very impressive work on fixing those guns, Piet. A PITA but worth it from what I see.

    Modern laws in effect, I believe. Not sure if wood would be allowed due to the "floatation" part of it. L'Hermoine has at least one also.

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.
