    Gaetan, you are a master! It’s delightful to see your work in progress. I saw that you use small brass nails to secure the moldings in place. After that you glue it using the nails as a guide and simply cut it and do some refinement, or use another type of nail, like copper wire? About plans I can only agree with you. The ANCRE’s monographs plans are very good and precise. And Boudriot’s 74 gun books have the best sketches I’ve ever seen. And Vivian, I also live in Sao Paulo and some years ago, I stood exactly where you now stand, fascinated with the hobby and always wanting to do some more. I built some kits (including a Chinese Junk from Amati) and now I’m building my first scratch POF Les Gros Ventre, since Gaetan has become my NGR mentor, I felt more confident, and with his big help my learning curve sped a lot. As I believe that knowledge must be shared, I can give you some short cuts in terms of tools and woods available in Brazil. Write me a private message, so we can speak in Portuguese. Mauricio

    Hi Gaetan, your model is wonderful! I'll follow your posts with great interest. It´s incredible how the light effect modify the colors of the wood. And the photos of the 74 cannons ship are also amazing. The cooper sheathing is superb! Mauricio

    Ed, another masterpiece! I read all the previous posts and it's really amazing. New methods and solutions that I can apply on my own working model. Thank you for sharing your experience in a didatic and simple way. Very helpful. Mauricio

    Hi Ed, Sorry to bothering you with a small detail but reading the book Naiad II, I noticed that on page 102, chapter 28, the text finishes with "However,". The next line is missing. Congratulations for the book. Mauricio

    Hello Karl, wonderful job!! You are a master! You said the wood is "Elsberry". Is It a fruit tree? Are you milling your own wood? Regards Mauricio

    Thank you all. I liked the Work Sharp WS3000. Reasanable price, and seems easy to use. Officer Cadet, do you have some of the accessories?

    Hi, I have Veritas Mk II Honing Guide but sometimes it takes a long time to sharpen all my chisels. What kind of sharpening system you are using? What about Tormek 7? Thanks for your commentaries. Mauricio

    Ed, I read your book for the third time and I'm still amazed. The best book I've ever read on the subject. Congratulations! May I suggest the inclusion of a CD on Vol 2 with the color photos? Mauricio

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.
