    Only 50-50? I must have done something wrong then. My scrapbox ate about 75% of my frames from this project.

    I'll be here also... popcorn anyone while we wait?

    Bob, Russ is right. You call also send him a PM with your request for access.

    Pete, Those are some lovely frames. Nice and exact work on the treenailing.

    Sorry to hear about the family... hope all recover quickly. Lovely work with the scroll saw. New isn't always better and that old saw cuts very nicely. Are you sure you've never scratchbuilt a ship before?

    Just incredible. I disappear for a bit and shazam... art. Amazing deadeyes and chainplates.

    TomShipModel, Best way is start a build log. Put as much or as little as you like to bring us up to date and then carry on from there.

    Which end, Rebecca? If it's the exposed, wider side, then after planking use a small homemade sanding block. Or use scrapers. If it's the narrow "edge" that butts the next plank, again a sanding stick (or emory board) and just take off the roughness.

    Bob, Ditto what the others said. That keel looks great.

    Dave's not here, man.

    I think I just found a bug... My Win7 PC was "updated" (thanks Microsloth) to IE 10... now pictures don't upload. I'm rolling back to IE9. Edit: Rolled back... IE9 is also freezing when uploading pictures.

    Very impressive Dusty. Amazing what one can do on a budget. I take it you carved the figurehead? BTW, I notice some battlestations and the stern of another ship in a picture. You've been building ships for awhile, I take it.

    Alexandru, Lovely work. As for the picture order... after "attaching", go here and do Step 5. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/540-how-to-add-pictures-in-your-posts-and-pms/ They will post in the order that you click "Add to Post".

    Looks very well done. I can't wait to see the finish on it. The lines just scream "speed"!!!!

    Thanks Jay, Very informative experiment and tips.

    Uh-oh... drums along the Mohawk and all that. I hear the call..."darkside...darkside". Robbyn, when it hit's, it hits. No one can talk you into it or (worse) out of it. Been there, done that, have sawdust all over the place.

    Cool. Happy to hear it was just the blade... or maybe some rogue sap. We wait for your pictures...
  19. mtaylor
    ok.. sounds like new blade time.. One quick thought.. is there any blade wobble?
  20. mtaylor
    Man, that is one big model. I hope you have a crane and a trailer to move it. It looks fantastic.
  21. mtaylor
    If the blade is still sharp, and it might not be considering what you've used it on, I've found that wipe over the blade and teeth with some acetone followed by some Pledge helps.
  22. mtaylor
    I'm with Christian.. the ligher one. But it's your build and you're the Captain. Go with what your heart says.
  23. mtaylor
    Ah... nevermind then.. do what Russ said and carry on.
  24. mtaylor
    Very nice framing and sills, Maury.
  25. mtaylor
    Figuerres, I like what you're going to do. I love to see kit bashes like this. :)

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.
