    I know in Cutty Sark's building contract they talk of planing her hull smooth. Nothing about sanding or fairing as we would think of fairing a hull with torture boards etc today. A ship of the size we're talking about with small tool marks from a plane..... you'd never notice it I don't think. Your work here is incredible. I'm in awe.

    Incredible the work and patience that goes into these ships. Beautiful work.
  3. Sailor1234567890
    I think the Cutty Sark Museum sells them. I have a copy from there I think. (My brother got them for me). There are a few sheets. The Millar drawing of her is nicemand goes well with the Campbell plans.

    Looking good.
  5. Sailor1234567890
    Looking good. Keep at it. You must satiate the masses cravings here.
  6. Sailor1234567890
    Good progress. Fine detail work like that requires more patience than I can muster.
  7. Sailor1234567890
    Looking good Nenad.
  8. Sailor1234567890
    Longridge's book will be a huge help. Keep an eye though, he recorded the ship as she was in the early 20th century, not as she was built.
  9. Sailor1234567890
    Nenad, Could you post a pic of her majesty in all her glory so far?
  10. Sailor1234567890
    500 pics and you only saw fit to post 2? I think a thread for some of these pics is in order.
  11. Sailor1234567890
    How about a wide shot of her overall as she is now? She's looking good in this little bits of her we can see though. Kudos.
  12. Sailor1234567890
    Now that is a beautiful ship.
  13. Sailor1234567890
    Sweet. She looks great.
  14. Sailor1234567890
    Beautifully done.
  15. Sailor1234567890
    Hopefully it gets him into it like you want him to be.
  16. Sailor1234567890
    Looking good Nenad. Keep at her. She'll tell you what she needs.
  17. Sailor1234567890
    Looking forward to seeing this one as well. Great Republic still in the wings? I still have my old 1:96 CS on the mantle being dismantled. Ha!. Once I have her apart, I'll mail you the hull. Won't be much left of her though.
  18. Sailor1234567890
    Awesome work.
  19. Sailor1234567890
    That is some seriously beautiful work.
  20. Sailor1234567890
    Wow. Looking great. A quick question if I may..... I have never given it much thought but.... What keeps the water out in way of the entry port? I know the gunports have lids. What is used for the entry port?
  21. Sailor1234567890
    The wheel is almost always forward of the steering gear in a sailing vessel. The helmsman (or helmsmen in rough enough weather) would stand to the side. You get better leverage to turn the wheel if you're next to the wheel rather than standing in front of it and reaching out to the perimeter of the wheel. Think about it and it will make perfect sense once you do. You've done it right, don't worry.
  22. Sailor1234567890
    It's a centre plank down the middle of the boat. The rest of the planks would have been nibbled into it. It may be too late to try it. Google it though. You'll find plenty of references to it. If you haven't already that is.
  23. Sailor1234567890
    OOOH, I'm a Naval officer in the Canadian Navy and this procurement is VERY interesting to me. Good luck with it all. And keep up the Newsboy log, she's a great little craft.
  24. Sailor1234567890
    If you're removing planks down the centre of the boat, try a king plank instead when you re lay the deck. Adds that little bit of realism.

    Where do you find research material for this ship? Have you a web site that covers a lot about her? Books? I've never heard of this ship until now and would like to know more about her. Pictures etc of course. Let us know what you've got. Maybe it will lead me to something you don't yet have.

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.
