    Well done, Grant. I like the spales so much, I'll have to make some for myself.

    Splice the main brace Dave for two ships very well done. I'll be looking forward to the Sovereign.

    Holy cow.... Here I've been thinking the gun was bigger.... Beautiful work, Wefalck

    Per, Set the boat up like you have it. Then put the pencil in something to hold it at the right height. You might have to flip the boat over if it sits down by the stern. Do the instructions have any method mentioned?

    Excellent video Chuck. That answered many of my questions. BTW, could post these videos into the Planking, Framing area as their own topic? They shouldn't get lost in the build log area. Edit: Or maybe better yet, in the database????

    Maaron, A good place to start would be the article by John Tilley here: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-rigging-and-sails.php

    Can you post some pictures of each ship? It might help those can help to sort things out.

    If you'd rather have something in hand.... here's a good reference form ScrollSaw. I have one and it's been a big help. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/big-book-of-scroll-saw-woodworking-scroll-saw-woodworking-crafts-editors/1111756500?ean=9781565234260 There seems to be several versions but the only difference I can see is the cover as all of them are copyright 2009.

    Uh... I don't keep track since I really don't want to know.

    Tom, Not all chimneys swiveled. I can't speak for other countries but in the US and English ships, some were just open (square, l like a fireplace chimney), some were like the one Sjors has (fixed but with a bend at the top, square). The swivel type was round and had a small fin on top.
  11. mtaylor
    BCD, Where I see the bending is when I'm trying to feed to fast and/or the blade dulled.

    I'm cheap. I have an old bamboo wood cutting board from a garage sale. When it gets chewed up, I just run the orbital sander over it.
  13. mtaylor
    Very clean and crisp and that stove is great!!!!
  14. mtaylor
    Nicely done, Sjors. She's coming together beautifully. Edit: You might check that chimney... I can't tell but it looks like it is facing aft when it should be facing forward.
  15. mtaylor
    That's good news, Henry. I didn't realize the drydock was that close.
  16. mtaylor
    Just beautiful, Danny. I hope you'll celebrate this milestone because it's a big one.
  17. mtaylor
    Your carvings are breathtaking, Gaetan.

    One way to find plans as such, would be to locate one of the brochures they used to give travel agents that basically showed the cabins on every deck. Some brochures even showed cross-sections and cut-aways.

    Oh.. it won't go to press until Monday? Here I was all set to ambush the mailman tomorrow.

    Beautiful work on those tiny parts.
  21. mtaylor
    Gary needs to reload them. There was an issue a few months ago and some pictures were lost.
  22. mtaylor
    A good idea on the insert. The plastic ones are crap anyway and for small parts... pffffft!!! Seeing the way you made the carriage sides brings a smile to my face... That's probably the best way to make them.
  23. mtaylor
    Keith, I think Jeff was spot on. Hit his webpage and get the info on blades. I ordered blades for my "not the Jim Saw" from Thurston and fuzzies, etc. are thing of the past.
  24. mtaylor
    Just stunning work, Gianpero. The carving work is magnificent.
  25. mtaylor
    Oh... I wasn't sure of the color as things change but Dominican Republic is a different breed all together. It's probably just an armor piercing then as I don't recall the .50 having a "light armor piercing" round. But again.. time and distance... It's hell getting older. 59 is the date stamp then...

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.
