    Hi Gaetan. Beautiful work. Are you using cherry for the entire model or only for the sculptures? Mauricio

    Gaetan, Bravo!!! I'm astonished even more with your work. When I think I've learned something, you show how far I'm from your skills. I thought I wasn´t a novice anymore but it seems I'm still in Kindergarten. Mauricio

    Hi Gaetan, Just perfect. It's very instructive when you post pictures of "how to do it". Congratulations. Mauricio

    Hi Gaetan, I'm glad with the recognition of NRG. Your models are fantastic! Only those who master a subject can teach so easily as you do. I am proud to have you as my mentor. Best Regards Mauricio

    Hi Tom, I started the construction of Les Gros Ventre about an year and a half but I have not started my scratch build log yet. As I live in Brazil, I have to mill my own wood, and It takes time and money (a lot!) because I had to buy the machines for the job. They are all from PROXXON. I'm using a wood called Peroba Rosa, and I'm still building the frames. I hope we can share our experiences, although I'm not a expert. First of all, be careful about the lenght of the pieces "f" and "d". In plates 1 and 4 they are longer than in plates 8, 15 and 23 (which are the proper length). Regards Mauricio

    Hi Ed, Amazing work! Do you use white or yellow beeswax? Mauricio

    Hi Gaetan, Fantastic!! A masterpiece. I think this is one of the most complicated part of the model. I hope I can inspire in your work when the time comes in my model. Mauricio

    Hello Karl, I'm speechless! Fantastic job! The details are amazing! As you have much more skills and experience, could you tell me if the FD150/E is enough to do all the tasks of wood ship modeling? Do you plan to turn masts with it? I’m asking this because I’m going to buy a lathe and I’m deciding between this and the PD 230/E.
  23. Mau
    Gaetan, nice job as always! I liked this lightsphere. It highlights the details. Fantastic!!
  24. Mau
    I have the same doubts as you. As I have the FF230 milling machine (which is very good) I’m leaning to PD 230. It is a matter of cost vs. benefit and of the reason you wish to buy a lathe (to turn cannons, capstans and small pieces or to turn masts). For turning masts the DB 250 is better than the others. The bed of the FD 150 is made of aluminum while in PD 230 it is made of cast iron (which gives you higher precision). Besides the distance between centers (230 mm x 150 mm) one thing that bothers me is the diameter of the internal bore of 8.5 mm in FD 150 (bad for larger masts) while in PD 230 it is 10.5 mm. Let me know about your choice. Mauricio

    Outstanding! Each image is a lesson. I am also among those awaiting a new book. Mauricio

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.
