    Alexandru, That is a work of art. Beautiful.

    Paddy, Good plan on testing your skills and then moving forward. And your first keel looks pretty good. You can only go up..

    Nice looking scarf joints, Guy.

    Stephan, Looking very good. On the problem of the two lines... I believe the beakhead bulkhead is flared out over the hull a bit. It's like that on my Licorne. The flare is such that it squares off the forward end of the forecastle and gives more room for line and cannon (assuming there were cannon there) handling.

    Looks great Marius. You might think about putting spacers near the top of the frames (between or just above the gunports works well) to hold everything in position during fairing. The spacers can then either be planked over or removed when you're done.

    It would be kinda tough to measure out to 5 significant places. When I was in Engineering the rule was: "Measure with a laser inferometer. Mark it with a piece of chalk. And cut it with an axe."

    Marius, If you have Frohlich's book, there's info in there on how to make the grates. There is no jig drawing that I'm aware of.

    It's great to see you crossing over to the "darkside" Ben. Nice work on the keel.

    Rob, Check out these two topics and see if they answer many of your questions: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/759-making-your-own-hobby-wood/ & http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/822-milling-my-own-wood/ Also: http://mysite.verizon.net/ELLshipmodeler/ has several articles on this topic. There's other sites out there specifically for harvesting and milling wood, but these should get you started.

    Channell, I'd say "go for it".. Many of tall ship guys like the work being done on the resin/plastic ships. I know I'm one of them. As for picture limitations, I think it's either 5 or 10 to the post. This had to be reset downwards as the forum software is capable of allowing practically an unlimited amount of photos per post. And I hope you'll reopen your Bismarck log, even if it's just an "executive summary" (pictures only ) to get caught up to date.

    Welcome back Randy. Excellent work and I'm hoping to see more.

    Nice work on the rigging. I thought the Wasa had nightmare rigging but the SOS rigging is beyond that.
  13. mtaylor
    RMC, I can't answer your question, but you might ask it in the Painting and Finishing area.

    Popeye, we all hope more shows up. Daniel is teaching us a lot about how these ships not only looked but how they worked. Daniel, Excellent work and research.

    Nice setup work. That is going to be a huge cross-section. Now unless I'm wrong... will building the frames be called "frames set-up"? Need to know in case I pull one of these and my Admiral asks.

    Kooyu, Welcome back. So much was lost, but the friendship remains. We're all working to rebuild MSW and having a great time doing it. I'm looking forward to seeing your excellent build again. This time, we all make new memories.

    Jason, Check with MicroMark for the bits. I use them as a back up supplier when ME is out of stock.
  18. mtaylor
    Stunning work, Bill. That's for bringing this back. Your log is a tutorial unto itself.
  19. mtaylor
    Mati, It's great to see the return of your build. I love the carvings.
  20. mtaylor
    Beautiful work on the stern section, Zbigniew. You call it a "Learner". I think it's a master's model.
  21. mtaylor
    Good looking planking, Ron.
  22. mtaylor
    Sherry, Just one word... niiiiiiiice!!!
  23. mtaylor
    Paul, Have a great Easter. Your Scharnhorst is looking great.
  24. mtaylor
    Fascinating research Dave. I hope you'll continue.

    Just catching up Popeye. Somewhere, the neat and clean lil' yellow boat became a worker. Looks fantastic.

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.
