    Is this a rhino plug in for the figureheads? Or a separate software for carving?

    Excellent design work Chuck! That really finishes it off. Looks spectacular!

    Good lord this thing is a stunning piece of work! I want to build it but I don’t think I could come remotely close to these results!

    Not sure what problem this individual has with your work but he’s wrong. I’ve been following this build closely in hopes of someday building the same ship, if I can build it anywhere near the quality of yours I’d be happy. JJ

    Thank you Don! I’m enjoying this group project very much. Everyone is doing a great job.

    Thank you Fred and Chuck and the likes. the cheeks and hair brackets certainly are not easy but they are indeed worth the effort. If I were to do it again I think I would change a few things as the learning curve was pretty big on that one. Fred, I knew you would spot those bolts!... don’t worry, I’m on it. I’ve got days of little messes to clean up before I move onto chapter 7. JJ

    Looking really good Don. You’re moving right along, paving the way for the rest of us. JJ

    Looks great Frank!

    Thank you for the kind words Frank. Made some progress up front, got cheeks and hair brackets completed. This was quite a project and involved many hours of sanding and test fitting. I’m still not happy with the hair bracket joints and may redo them... I’ll sleep on it a little longer. one thing I found to make it a little easier with the frizzies was to glue them on prior to laminating the upper and lower cheeks, the same applies to the hair brackets. Once dry I gently sanded the excess off and then assembled them, this made the seams appear clean and sharp. I still have some clean up work to do as well as finish the stbd side anchor line holes and a little paint touch up. On to guns and tackle next... probably post that update in about 6 months. also made some poor attempts at better photography with the plans as a background white... lol... lots of room for improvement but I clearly see the benefits now!

    Nice work Chris! Are you doing your own 3-d carving or contracting it? JJ
  13. scrubbyj427
    Wow!! Beautiful work! JJ
  14. scrubbyj427
    Very nice Frank! That looks great! Looks like you will be laying some planks down soon. JJ
  15. scrubbyj427
    Wow! This this is art and setting the bar extremely high!
  16. scrubbyj427
    Your Winnie is looking really nice Fred! The choice of coloring for the paneling and wood tones look great! JJ
  17. scrubbyj427
    Thank you Chuck! And all the likes. It was a little bit more challenging than expected but well worth it.
  18. scrubbyj427
    Bolts and gun ports next.
  19. scrubbyj427
    Looks really good Bob! She’s turning out very nice! JJ

    Looking great Frank! Keep the updates coming.

    Back in the saddle again! Took 6 weeks to welcome my new baby boy into the world and now I’m back at work and therefore back at modeling. Got one side finished up and just one belt left on the other side. Should all be complete next week and then I can move onto all the guns and other fun stuff!...including removing those massive bolts! JJ
  22. scrubbyj427
    I like it. Sounds like a good plan. I may as well turn chapter 6 into a 6 month project!
  23. scrubbyj427
    This is good stuff. Would this accurately apply to the Winnie Chuck?
  24. scrubbyj427
    Very nice! I love the colors! I’m very tempted to leave my guns natural now. JJ
  25. scrubbyj427
    Looking forward to another progress update on this Kevin, I’ve been patiently waiting.🍿 I’d like to build this very similar to how you are. You’re paving the way for others. JJ

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.
