    I love Sushi - but I get them to cook it through propper first, and coat it in breadcrumbs. OC.

    That would have been very cool if I could have run them off tiny solar pannels hidden inside the roof window, as I wouldn't want wires running outside the hull. OC.

    Black Swan. OC.

    So no time like the present I opened it up and made a start putting some paint on the upper hull parts and other hull parts, I chose a slightly grey/black color that is supposed to simulate a burned wood affect. I will be building her (very slightly differently - well A lot) from my original plan, as I will be using the Fantastic kit as a base but adding many wood parts including - masts and spars, decking, details and rope shrouds and all running gear. I am not sure if she still belongs here in the scratchbuild section (modes let me know what you think) I am really looking forward to this build as the kit is Fantastic and aided with extra detailing it should be a stunning ship.

    I love your keel supports denis - very well thought out, being able to move it along the length of the slipway is a great idea. OC.

    A bit more TD work in Paint - I have the frames sorted now and scaled to 1/100scale same as the keel, I will try to get these printed off as they will give me an accurate plan to work off. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    If I was sensible I would just convert the plan to the correct 1/100 scale in windows paint, then save it as a 1/1 pic file then print it out on some 20inch paper, but I have no ink for my printer. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Great to have you onboard its shaping up to a good crew and a four legged hand. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Good evening all, first step today was to convert some dimensions to 1/100 scale on one of the plans I have, I will then overlay this drawing by hand onto my Peregrine plans that are already at 1/100 scale, this will give me a guide to how much upscaling the keel will need. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood

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.
