Thank you Frank. Would love to see you build one! Stay tuned for a website soon. I will begin to produce chapter 1 kits in the near future.

Starting in Rhino 8

Draping surfaces, constructing basic shapes and learning the tool functions will lead you right into modeling ships. Theres likely some marine focused ones. I’m also sure there’s plenty here on MSW. Lots of people are 3D modeling ships on here. -

You should follow all the Rhino tutorials until you are proficient with basic surface modeling and 3D construction, From there you can start constructing basic 2D plans into a wire frame 3D object. -
Thank you Christian. Still a few small bugs that are being worked out of chapter 1 but it’s almost there.

I couldn’t bring myself to glue another plank to anything today. So I decided to work on something fun. I think I have these headrails in a good spot so im going to coat them in WOP and then paint them black on the insides and tops. The head Timbers are in place and I’ll paint those too. A smidge of fine tuning on the headrails when I glue them down should do the trick.

Today I finished the main wale, a huge milestone after 10 days of a nonstop planking party. Just half of the other side to go now. Once both wales are complete I can move onto finishing out the gunports with some fine tuning and another nice coat of red. I need to figure out the width of 1-2 planks below the main wale and probably 1-3 planks up from the keel, then I can finally protect all those pear frames and move onto the QG’s.

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.
