    That looks great Matt!! I do agree with Rusty, I think the 6mm one may be a bit small. Perhaps somewhere in between is where you want to be..

    Very nice Chuck! What an achievement to produce a model of such extraordinary detail and quality and share it with us! I can’t wait to resume mine.

    Lookin great Chuck! Merry Christmas
  4. scrubbyj427
    Excellent! Looking forward to this step!

    Amazing work Siggi! Beautiful model! JJ

    That looks good To my eye Frank. Your lowest strake should line up where it needs to be. Remember there are two strips of moulding that go on the lower counter and transition into the upper piece, I just accounted for those when placing the print in place.

    My wales ended up right at the bottom of the lower counter.but as Ben described, i sanded mine too much and needed to fix using wood and filler.

    Excellent work Frank, your slow and steady pace is really showing. Your model looks very crisp and clean and carefully put together. Well done. JJ

    Awesome carvings Tom! What software are you sculpting with?

    See post 525 on chucks build log, he explains it. If you’re not there yet it will also be covered in the instructions:

    Remember all the laser etched moulding Chuck provided along the rails? They were intended to match the scrolls... there was plenty of extra... I didn’t even think about using them for the columns, clearly nobody else did either except Ben.
  12. scrubbyj427
    That went right over my head when I was doing mine. I’m seriously contemplating going back and redoing those. That’s just the bees knees!
  13. scrubbyj427
    It looks like you used laser etched moulding to cap your columns? Looks wonderful, what a great idea!
  14. scrubbyj427
    What a stunning work of art! Well done!
  15. scrubbyj427
    Beautiful work!
  16. scrubbyj427
    That looks amazing! Very nicely done! JJ

    I’m also onboard with the 1/4 scale, with the Winnie being my first 1/4 scale I’ve been converted. Will probably never go smaller than that ever again. A big 1/2” scale frigate or something along those lines sure looks tempting sometimes though. But Winnie has proved beyond a doubt that an amazing model can be produced at 1/4.
  18. scrubbyj427
    That looks great Rusty! That’s such a rewarding part of the chapter to complete and complete well. I still just love how your Winnie looks with your choices of wood!
  19. scrubbyj427
    This will make a great post Winnie subject! Looking forward to seeing this develop further!
  20. scrubbyj427
    Well I’m sure whatever project comes out next whether it’s Hornet or the sloop, it will build into another wonderful model.
  21. scrubbyj427
    I can’t decide if I want to do Amazon or Minerva next as I’ve fallen in love with both of them through the course of the Winnie project, it’s like they all belong together now.😂
  22. scrubbyj427
    Ok thanks, that’s kinda what I was thinking but I don’t have my drawings nearby for reference. Looking good!
  23. scrubbyj427
    Excellent work Mike...as always! Is it me or is there a small section of your moulding missing along the waist? JJ
  24. scrubbyj427
    Nice looking shop! Don’t even want to know what that set you back... nice machine though. So will it cut up to 960x610 or is that just the box size?
  25. scrubbyj427
    Amazing work as usual. Not much more to go it looks.

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.
