    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

    I like it. Sounds like a good plan. I may as well turn chapter 6 into a 6 month project!
  3. scrubbyj427
    This is good stuff. Would this accurately apply to the Winnie Chuck?
  4. scrubbyj427
    Very nice! I love the colors! I’m very tempted to leave my guns natural now. JJ

    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

    Jack, So is this considered chapter one? It looks great! JJ
  7. scrubbyj427
    Looks good Ben, glad to see you building again. What wood are you working with? JJ
  8. scrubbyj427
    You’re releasing the first chapter parts commercially?
  9. scrubbyj427
    Wow! Looks great Jack! What’s the progress look like on the other test builds?
  10. scrubbyj427
    Wonderful work Jack! I need this as soon as possible!
  11. scrubbyj427
    Chris, are you going to dabble with anything in 1:48 scale?
  12. scrubbyj427
    Looks great Chuck! Well done ...again!
  13. scrubbyj427
    Good point Frank, perhaps just fair down to or below that line, install frames and then continue on fairing. At least then your hull is much more ridged.
  14. scrubbyj427
    Wow those look great together! I certainly noticed the color of AYC and how close it resembles boxwood, but also how easily it can be worked.
  15. scrubbyj427
    Impressive work Jack! Keep the updates coming! Can’t wait to get my hands on this.
  16. scrubbyj427
    Looks very nice! Like the use of cherry in the stern and coamings!
  17. scrubbyj427
    I think you could get away with adding the gun port framing prior to hull fairing to add some rigidity to the hull. You will have to fair all the frames anyway. I just held the hull in my lap with a towel when I faired it. I did not add the clips to the tops of the frames which I should have, but I made it fine without breaking one. It wasn’t until later in the build that i snapped one off. Just be careful and go slow.
  18. scrubbyj427
    So when can we begin building this beast!?
  19. scrubbyj427
    So are the basic parts a lower quality? Or they just require assembly? They are still precision cnc cut correct? Are you actually going to offer and ship pre assembled sections of the model in the kit?
  20. scrubbyj427
    Impressive! This project has set the bar way up. Can’t wait to start this stuff!
  21. scrubbyj427
    Thanks guys, appreciate it. Fred, those bolts are going on a diet soon!
  22. scrubbyj427
    Wonderful! This is going to be chapter 7?
  23. scrubbyj427
    That looks great Bob!
  24. scrubbyj427
    Thanks Rusty, Chuck and Matt for the comments and all likes. Chuck, thanks again for the wood! It worked perfect, I should get a very even finish for the rest of the deck now. Matt, all the coamings are down permanent. I spent a ton of time getting them all in line. It would definitely be easier to do the sanding with them off but I managed with a small army of sanding sticks! JJ
  25. scrubbyj427
    definitely try and work on these techniques, I just recently picked up Chucks method and it’s changed ship modeling entirely for me. Results are wonderful. I painted my San Felipe so it didn’t matter but I wish I knew this then. https://modelshipworld.com/forum/98-planking-downloads-and-tutorials-and-videos/

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.
