i had a good idea just how much work goes into a full scratch build, after all i have been watching it happen for years, i just never appreachiated how difficult it was lol anyone following my first attempt at a single frame from the cross section build will see how difficult is am finding it and i tried my cotton socks at it

Nigel i have no confidence in the scroll saw, new blades in it and adjusted to be taught- it still keeps snagging the wood i did the initial seperation of all the parts and then went around them again leaving a lot to sand, which i did the same way as you, Next weekend i will try and cut along the blue/red lines and see if in the mean time get hold of an alternative scroll saw

Nigel Thankyou its a steep learning curve for me, kits have everything i want, (lol apart from not wanting a kit) so far today i have printed the plans of frame 0 and then cut out the 11 individual bits cut my Pear down to planks of 50mm x 5mm used copydex to secure plans to the pear learnt how to tune the scroll saw and had an attempt at shaping all the bits - been my biggest headache so far within a few hours i will have made frame zero (not very well) but as stated before i am teaching myself how to do this, next weekend i will do it again and hopefully be better

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.
