    Hi Mike,

       I have a few questions for you ....again.  My back is finally healing enough for me to start model building again.  Hurrah!  This week I want to place an order to Syren Ship Model Company.  When I read your build log I see that you have a hybrid build going with certain parts out of Alaskan yellow cedar and others out of Castello boxwood.  How much of your model is yellow cedar?  Did you buy from Chuck all the chapters in Alaskan yellow cedar and then pick and choose carefully where to add parts of boxwood?  I'm trying to get a grip on what I need to buy and what will be scratch built.  Like you, I want to plank in boxwood.  Can you give me any advice on what to buy?  Money is not an issue, but I really don't wish to buy a lot of AYC parts that will not be used.  However, I will buy a chapter if you think certain parts are worth getting.

    Your friend,

    Tom

      Has Chuck ever put together special Chapter wood package for model builders who want to plank Winchelsea with Castello boxwood or Swiss pear wood.

       

      Not that I know of.

      Hi Tom,

       

      The only time I will use AYC is when it will not be seen, like the hance pieces, transom template and false deck. I would just let Chuck know that you are doing a boxwood build and let him decide what to give you.

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.
