    I suspect the Admins may need to move it for you. Or they could at least explain what you need to do. Glad I don't have to figure that out. Cheers, Daniel

    I love the detail you're putting into the cabin. Articles below decks etc. Looks awesome. But why is she in the 1900-present day folder? She was rebuilt as a dilapidated old boat by Slocum in the 1890s. Not sure when in the 1800s she was built but she wasn't even rebuilt by him in the last century.

    I agree, those sails are absolutely amazing. A tutorial would be nice. And more pics of course.

    I don't have the skills. I am hoping to build them up soon but I don't think Glory is in my future. More a suggestion in case someone else with the skills might be interested. I think it would yield some good/interesting information though.

    I looks like a big part of figuring out her shape is determining angles, lengths, distances etc. from photos that may not be exactly angled perfectly parallel, or perpendicular to whatever you're trying to measure. Has anyone tried building a 3D model of her then viewing it from the angle in a given photo to see if it looks the same thereby confirming your best guess as to what the angle of say the steeve of the bowsprit is?

    So when are you starting Stephano? Looks awesome. Great work.
  7. Sailor1234567890
    I see you placed deck planking under the forward trucks of the guns to get them to the proper height. Is that temporary until you lay the decking or will you be leaving it open like this? Stunning work you've done. Thanks for sharing.
  8. Sailor1234567890
    Thanks. I'll have to look back through the thread to find that part. Cheers, Daniel

    Nice work. I have a question about Crows feet and euphroes. Anyone know what purpose they serve?
  10. Sailor1234567890
    Oh, that would be an interesting comparison to see side by side.
  11. Sailor1234567890
    Looks like the tuck for finishing off the grommet was tucked somewhere around the 8 o'clock position. Nice job.

    Car guys call it a "rotissery restoration" as the setup is essentially a rotissery. I see no reason why that can't be done for this ship.
  13. Sailor1234567890
    Quick question.... Are you planning to build the ship that was used for the movie, or the actual Surprise which isn't quite exactly the same as the one used in the movie. I think for a start, there aren't enough guns for HMS Rose/Surprise, to be the historical HMS Surprise.
  14. Sailor1234567890
    Cool project. I suspect you can expect this log to be moved by the Admins to the CAD section. I'll follow along though.
  15. Sailor1234567890
    Glenn, I've done some research on Scottish Maid and am led to believe there were a number of sisterships built because of her successful design. Do you know anything about this? Also saw that she was around until 1941 which surprised me. I wonder why there aren't more pictures of her....
  16. Sailor1234567890
    Nice work Terry, I can't imagine how hard it would be to create a 7 bladed scimitar shaped screw like that. The boats I sailed in (Victoria class) have a similar screw and looking up at it in dock while "sputtifying" (SPUT stands for skimmer puke under training in our navy) I couldn't wrap my head around the design work that goes into them.
  17. Sailor1234567890
    Or buy his book. I have a copy and it has all those drawings in it.
  18. Sailor1234567890
    What are the "pointers" referred to in that appendix? Anyone know? I've never heard of pointers as part of a ship. Is there another name for pointers that I might recognize?
  19. Sailor1234567890
    Dolphin 38!! Cheers brother.
  20. Sailor1234567890
    Excellent resource there. Thanks for posting it. I look forward to reading through all those volumes.
  21. Sailor1234567890
    Rick, I have been watching Lady Nelson builds with exactly that in mind. When I can finally start a wood kit, I plan to bash this one into Hornblower's Witch of Endor from Flying Colours. I think she's the closest one to her of the cutter kits out there. Looking forward to this one as well.
  22. Sailor1234567890
    James, Do you think there may be a way to add a filter to sort these reviews by scale? Or is there one already there that I can't figure out on my own?
  23. Sailor1234567890
    I was going to suggest a filter to search by scale. Select 1:64 and all the 1:64th kits show up. Assuming the database still exists, I can't seem to get it to load but I'm at work and firewalls may be preventing me from loading it.
  24. Sailor1234567890
    Too bad Chris, I'd love to get my hands on your 1:64 Cutty Sark kit that died in the planning stage as well.
  25. Sailor1234567890
    No updates lately? I wonder how the project went?

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.
