    Those look great Mike, what a great tool for that job, eliminates all the guess work and tricky eyeballing. Where did you get that? I may have to invest in one.
  2. scrubbyj427
    That’s a great idea Chuck, I was studying a contemporary model last night and wondering how you planned to do this. That makes perfect sense.
  3. scrubbyj427
    Looking really good. The windows were definitely a struggle, lots of test fitting, sanding and broken ones until I got it right.
  4. scrubbyj427
    Your planking is looking great, really good job on the counter. I definitely had a difficult time at the stern as well.

    Withdrawal pains! Welcome to the club! planking looks spot on! Well done!
  6. scrubbyj427
    Very Impressive. Well done Chuck. I Can’t wait to tackle this part.
  7. scrubbyj427
    That looks really good Mike, excellent work.

    Come July and the completion of your long planking journey, you’ll never once look back and say to yourself “I wish I used that good enough plank a few times and finished sooner”....
  9. scrubbyj427
    Once you complete planking things really start moving quick, especially if you are still working on planking mode!
  10. scrubbyj427
    Wow that looks very promising. I think I’ve seen this before somewhere. May have to take a crack at it.
  11. scrubbyj427
    I’ve been chewing my nails in anticipation for the last four hours, Chuck... what’s the secret?
  12. scrubbyj427
    I think you could go any direction with this. You would really have to start adding tons of crap to spoil this model. I think Amazon looks great and not too busy. But I wouldn’t go past that point. Maybe settle somewhere between Amazon and Winnie contemporary.
  13. scrubbyj427
    Remarkable work Chuck! What an incredible project the Winnie has become!
  14. scrubbyj427
    Beautiful work Marsalv! Your work continues to inspire.
  15. scrubbyj427
    That looks really nice!
  16. scrubbyj427
    Just awesome work Siggi. What an inspiring build.

    Glenn your planking looks great! Very impressive work. I never thought I’d say it but I’m looking forward to my next model to up my planking game to your level.
  18. scrubbyj427
    I’ll try the resin ones then, I’m just worried I won’t be able to match the finish of my other guns. But I’m also a long ways off from these little swivels.
  19. scrubbyj427
    Wow! Just awesome work! Beautiful
  20. scrubbyj427
    Those look great Chuck, but I’m assuming they won’t be available in turned brass?
  21. scrubbyj427
    I think the head rails are going to be the icing on the cake at this point. Very excited to see this part develop.
  22. scrubbyj427
    Don’t worry Glenn... I’ll still probably be rigging guns by the time you get to this point.😁
  23. scrubbyj427
    Wonderful work Chuck! This just looks awesome!
  24. scrubbyj427
    Thanks Guys. So far I’m happy with the results. Once you get in a rhythm with them, they aren’t bad. The next time around I need to make 12 carriages and rig them all, so much larger task. I had made these carriages months ago.
  25. scrubbyj427
    And finally 12! Easter brought the gift of time to rig guns! So now I will begin chapter 7 and then continue with the rest of the guns when I finish. Looking forward to getting some beams in place and completing my lantern project. 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.
