    With out measuring the spindel sander, (as I`m at work) the top plate must be 12" square and the body 18" high. If your building a framed model, it`s a must have. mij

    I have started to build HMS Sussex 1693 from the plans by Gilbert McArdle, all the frames will be made from tulipwood. These first two pictures show how I fitted a removable keel by fitting a piece of brass tube into the baseboard and a smaller piece of brass tube to the keel. The tulipwood being planed for the keel Milling the tulipwood for the forward frames The frame templates are glued to the tulipwood, the glue I use is a non-toxic washable glue stick Cutting out the frames

    Hi Crowe I used Pearwood to build all the frames on HMS Warrior (practium by Romero 3/16in scale), it`s very nice wood to work with. Good luck with your build. Regards mij

    I perchased this book about a mounth ago, and I`m about to start the building board. I`ve been building period ship now for many years and have a stock of timber i,e Holly, Cherry, Pear, Apple, Elm, Maple, Boxwood, Mahogny, Jelutong and my new addition Tulipwood, Its a wood I have not used before. I made a frame with a piece and it works well, so this is what I shall use for the frames. Regards mij

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.
