    to purchase these exotic in billets of spindles and bowl blanks as woods to complete, saw, and mill to complete the timber work that is not included in the lumber pack, This company is very close to me and the question was - could I use these, sorry I badly worded the original question

    good afternoon Been getting my knickers in a twist about purchasing my new build from Lumber yard I appreciate that I will need extra timber to do the extra bits I need, like decking and internal planking and panelling, mast's etc I have found a supplier in the uk, my question is, can I use it after being processed through a thicknesser and bandsaw perhaps it sounds a stooped question, but the costs from the states are high www.yandles.co.uk/bowl-blank-shop/c907

    Good afternoon everyone After the excitement of the new build coming up, it was back to the Victory and the hammock netting, the build as stated before will be in a diorama setting, so the used look continues to apply (lol my excuse for totally getting it all wrong - and looking shabby) some of the netting looks like it needs doing again - but for now i am happy

    Good morning Mark i have booted the front row of the avid watches to you build out, so that i can see better, do you have any photo's of the early part of your build,

    the link i posted to lumberyard takes you to the Alfred, and not the Druid which is 1/4 scale - lol i never meant to cause confusion but have done so The HMS Druid is a 1776, 20 gun sloop of war. The Druid's seven sheets of plans are in 1/4 inch scale. rigging plans are included. This rigged model is 36 1/2 x 28 1/2 x 13 1/4 when completed. Laser cut parts include keel, keelson, deadwood, stem, stern post, transom, deck beams, rudder and framing jig. The milled stock is framing material, ledges, carlings, wales, sheet stock for cap rails, upper hull planking, hatch coamings and railings. Photos are of the Druid built by Harold Hahn. Timbering sets available in beech, boxwood, cherry, maple and swiss pear. click on image below for a larger view

    had a few silly days recently with discussions over what to do next, one minute is this and then something different, some of the PM i have received have been very kind and i am very appreciative of that, so i am going to move over to the dark side on completion of my currant build http://www.dlumberyard.com/shipkits.html

    i have contacted them for a shipping cost to the UK,
  22. Kevin
    looks like the proxxon is more expensive than the byrnes including shipping
  23. Kevin
    the shipping costs for something like this i guess would be silly, is there an equivalent alternative for the UK market
  24. Kevin
    One scratch build I had wanted to attempt was the 1/24 bomb vessel Grando mid section - but they don't do the plans any more, after that I got more and more confused as to what to go for next, so talked my self out of it, especially when it came to purchases of milling machines idealy 1/24 with cabin details (not so much cannons would have suited me down to the ground), but was unable to find anything adapting a kit I donr think would have worked, lol - everyone must think I don't know what I want

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.
