    Sjors, just tell yourself that scratching parts is fun. It makes the time go faster. Actually, I lied about the faster part. But it is fun and you make parts that look better than the kit stuff.

    Augie, I'm just now catching up. Good to see some wonderful progress. I'll forgo the ground groundhog...

    I'm finally caught up... and bang!!! broken bits. Sorry to hear this but I know you'll carry one once the frustration wears off. I'll go over to you canoe log..

    Norman, Nice to see this log coming back. Beautiful work.

    Kevin, Good to see you're back in the shipyard and making progress.

    Hank, I'm looking forward to following along on this. Rations are not a problem..

    Danny, Good to see you back in the shop and working on Vulture. The cisterns and placement are interesting in that they look to be abutting the mast.

    Just thought I'd beat Sjors... :D

    Bob, That is a fantastic way of doing buckets.

    Alex, Remarkable work. Even more remarkable by the lack of firm information of these ships.
  11. mtaylor
    She looks super nice, John.

    Jan, Was Wayne's answer correct or.... someone else's?

    Beautiful work, Rusty.

    Yeah... it's the good news... uh-huh.. yep...

    I appeciate all the input even though I don't have the saw in question (it's on my Christmas wish list). Very useful information.

    Only 50-50? I must have done something wrong then. My scrapbox ate about 75% of my frames from this project.
  17. mtaylor
    I'll be here also... popcorn anyone while we wait?
  18. mtaylor
    Beyond amazing.....

    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?
  22. mtaylor
    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.
  24. mtaylor
    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.

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.
