    Looking good. Those planks are definitely a challenge that’s worth it. Great results!

    Thanks Gabe. I finally got them all installed and that design worked perfectly.

    Nicely done Matt! You’re moving along now. That whole pump assembly is quite a challenge with many moving parts… no pun intended. So many things need to line up for it to work. Looks good. You’re almost on chapter 8!

    Nice work Matt, the railing turned out excellent!

    Congratulations Jim, she looks great. The figures add a whole new layer to the model and the copper looks really good. The crew really gives perspective to the size of Winnie. Looking forward to seeing how you display her. JJ

    Very well done! The Q gallery’s look just perfect, along with the moulding profile! Impressive work.

    You definitely have gotten the hang of it. Looks very good Frank. Keep at it!

    Beautiful work Siggi!

    You could also take sections through your butt lines and then offset each one to the thickness you want the frame (in profile view) and then proceed to build the new frames around those lines as a reference. Also as @Richard Dunn mentioned, offsetting by the outer surface of the frames and creating a solid from that would be beneficial. The issue is that the inner hull and outer hull are shaped differently. Have you tried to just offset your hull surface by itself and see how that results? For my model I just used offsets from the hull surface at the thickness I wanted for the frames and extruded solids so the tops of the frames are as fair as the outside. These were always taken from the higher side of the hull, for example, in the bow I would take the section from the fwd facing side and extrude aft and the opposite in the stern. This allows for proper sanding. In rhino you would do the same but run you spline that you would use to create planks, from the highest side of the frame to the next highest one, slicing right through the part that would be sanded… if that makes any sense.

    Very nice work Ron, it’s coming along very well!

    Beautiful job Glenn! Well done! And that angle cutter… wow! I need that for sure.
  13. scrubbyj427
    Looks spot on! Excellent job!

    Beautiful work Fred! Those guns look great! I hope it’s motivating you to do the same to your Winnie.

    I have to check my model when I get home but it does look a little high but your capstan looks built correctly. Is the lower part sitting all the way down into its position on the gun deck?

    Congratulations Stuglo! Well done. She looks great! Been great following along.
  17. scrubbyj427
    Very nice!

    Thank you James. Yes indeed the cannons are fun, especially if you decide to rig them, I’m trying a new method of building them one at a time now as I need them. I’ll get there eventually.
  19. scrubbyj427
    Just incredible work! Almost spilled my coffee.
  20. scrubbyj427
    What a beautiful job. Congratulations and very well done!
  21. scrubbyj427
    Beautiful work Mike!
  22. scrubbyj427
    Welcome aboard Jim! Looking forward to seeing your Winnie progress. JJ
  23. scrubbyj427
    That was awesome!
  24. scrubbyj427
    Looks great Glenn, you’re coamings look nice and straight, off to a good start. The center planking definitely requires a lot of patience, many angles and widths but as you already know, it will pay dividends in the end. All those fun tools you have on your shop, I need to up my game!

    Philips models are just incredible. I would go insane trying to build something that small, I can barely handle 1/72 scale!

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.
