    Amazing work as usual. Not much more to go it looks.

    Richard, ive been using orca for years! It’s a wonderful plug in for Rhino and it’s capable of so much more than us modelers need. Hulls can be built and used so quickly, especially if you are taking off existing plans. I will be following with interest!

    Looking really nice rusty!

    Steve, I used medium zap on all my planks, it made the job a million times easier, I also used PVA on all the edges, which was messy but worked great. When I finished the planking I mixed some epoxy and coated the inside of the hull to prevent any planks from coming loose and expansion/contraction. JJ

    Wow! That looks awesome! Well done! JJ

    That is artwork!

    Beautiful work Chuck! This just keeps getting better
  13. scrubbyj427
    I'm not sure which is more impressive, your rhino model or your real one.... very nice!
  14. scrubbyj427
    Looks great Chuck!

    I'm drooling.... that's it, I'm digging my Winnie out of storage and starting work again.

    Definitely keep this project on the same trajectory, it would be an Injustice if you dropped the ball this late in the game. I've been following the caf builds as well, Tom is very innovative in his designs and I'd love to build Belona and Enterprize but I would implement a lot of what I've learned with the Winnie build to bring them to the same level of detail. You're catering to a different level of modelers. I'm striving to design my Portland project with all of this in mind. JJ

    If you have a flat enough sanding block and enough patience it works great that way. regarding feedback on your part designs, I think they work great and yeild wonderful scratchbuilt like results, definitely do not simplify anything as you will sacrifice detailed and accurate results. I find this project much more challenging and therefore much more enjoyable and rewarding to build. I don't think I'll ever build an out of the box kit ever again after this experience.

    That looks really good Chuck, I've actually been curious as to how you were going to tackle this for awhile now. how did you mitre the sides? Byrnes saw? JJ
  19. scrubbyj427
    Looks really nice Kevin, this kit clearly has lots of potential beyond the box. Maybe you’ll inspire Tom to offer or include the lower decks. JJ

    I had the same problem, I discovered that indeed the lens in the upper left is the way to go!
  21. scrubbyj427
    Looks really sharp Chuck! Amazing work! I need to uncrate my Winnie and get back to work soon. Sorry about your abduction, can you order a new mini you?
  22. scrubbyj427
    Looking good Matt. That’s a nice milestone to complete!
  23. scrubbyj427
    That looks really nice Fred! Your hinges worked well and they look good opened.. I had similar issues with mine and they just required some gentle persuasion. Your guns look wonderfully executed! I will definitely be referencing your log when I get to this point. JJ
  24. scrubbyj427
    Excellent work Tom!
  25. scrubbyj427
    Have you used sketchup for hull design at all? I’ve never tried it. I do have a hull developing and hydrostatics plug in for rhino that really streamlines this process.

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.
