    I think Grant is trying to pull the proverbial wool over our eyes. I think that just the same pile of blocks over and over again. He's actually sitting back and relaxing.

    Catching up... again. Great updates, Augie. Ok.. so don't plank it. Then if your Admiral is like mine, you be asked "aren't you going to finish that thing?".

    Good to hear you made it back home and into the shipyard, John. Fantastic work going on with the furniture. Very inspiring.

    That is one clean garage.... Don't forget to pack the workbench. I'm excited for you Rich. New adventures and all that.

    Beautiful work, Jan.

    I'm no help on the history of this ship, but I will follow along on your journey. I hope you post some pictures of where she is today and older pics...

    Lovely work, Ian. Even the destruction looks nice.

    Denis, I'm just now catching up.... she is really looking sweeet. Great job.

    John, Rule of thumb... you're the Captain, build it any way you want. There is no "wrong" way... Looking good.

    Dan, Quite a nice tutorial... you make it look easy.

    Per, She's the one who mentioned it when I was ordering ebony a few months ago... so I just added a stick.

    Harvey, Use it for whatever you want. You own it, it's yours. It won't make anything less scarce. Now that I've said that, it's a bitch to bend. I soaked, heated, and re-soak my wales 3 times to get the bend I wanted. Finally after the last soak, I jigged it and it stayed put (1/4 by 1/4 inch). I've done a bit thicker like 3/16 inch, but not going to try it again... The one thing I love about it... it's gorgeous in place. I have a 2-1/2" X 2-1/2" X 24" piece that I'm thinking of using to make my admiral a jewelry box, just for kicks and grins... and Christmas. I still think it's a bear to work with and after the current project, I probably won't use it again.

    Remco, Excellent progress and by all standards, your work area is still neat and tidy.

    Piet, This is just amazing work. I'm sitting here with my mouth open going "wow" as read and catch up on what you've done. BTW, no need to take a sledgehammer to a computer to get them to fall into line. Just do what I do: threaten to turn them into boat anchors. Seems to work very well. However, the sledgehammer is much more satisfying.

    Sweet work, Anthony. Not only a clean build but it appears to be very precise as well. Lovely wood choices.

    Windwagon Smith? Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time, though I remember the cartoon. Mind if I pull up a seat also.... and since Sjors isn't here yet, maybe this:

    I think Dr. Per can help: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/474-therapy-for-shipaholics/

    I moved this to the Wood Ship Model Kit Questions and Reviews as it's more appropriate there.

    Fantastic joinery, Rusty. Are you finding things easier with the larger scale? Or just "different"?
  21. mtaylor
    Nenad, Your work is inspirational in the way you find the answer to problems. The CS is looking better and better everytime I see her. And as for Admirals... they're always right. That's why they are Admirals.
  22. mtaylor
    I like that!!!!! Mind if I steal that trick?
  23. mtaylor
    Remco, I can't say it any better than Rusty. Oh... I can say "wow!!!".
  24. mtaylor
    Sherry, Just amazing work on the grates... and you managed to make Augie speechless.
  25. mtaylor
    Giampiero, Beautiful joinery on the bow, stern, and frames. I'm going to follow along on your build and try to learn.

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.
