    Smooth looking hull you've got there.
  2. Sailor1234567890
    Step three, add pictures. Don't worry, you're two steps ahead of me already.
  3. Sailor1234567890
    This is a neat build. Awesome attention to detail.
  4. Sailor1234567890
    I have no idea what there is under the casing on that class of sub but in our boats, there are so many lines, pipes, tubes, wires etc that it's hard to keep track of it all. Greasy and cramped when you do a casing crawl. Submarines sure are an interesting craft.

    This was the my first attempt at lofting, probably 15 years ago or so. I wasn't terribly successful, mostly because I didn't have any battens in my university dorm room. My next attempt, a 13 foot CATSPAW dinghy in full scale went much better.

    Sit on the deck outside the coaming. I think looks trump function in that case.
  7. Sailor1234567890
    Much better detail on those guns. Good choice.
  8. Sailor1234567890
    Sweet lines on that hull.
  9. Sailor1234567890
    Beautiful.
  10. Sailor1234567890
    Incredible joinery at that scale. Great job.

    We're both model building but I'm not even close to that calibre. I'm not in the ballpark, I'm not even playing the same sport... Beautiful work. I love clippers and really look forward to seeing what she looks like once you've got a hull there. Keep up the awesome work.
  12. Sailor1234567890
    Onward and upward.
  13. Sailor1234567890
    Beautiful job you've got going there. I look forward to "graduating" to wood. Still at the plastic stage.....
  14. Sailor1234567890
    Nice work.
  15. Sailor1234567890
    In absolute awe over this build. WOW.
  16. Sailor1234567890
    A 74 is probably one of the most beautiful sailing warships ever built. Big enough to be powerful but not so big as to be lumbering like a three decker. Fast and handy with plenty of firepower. Just what the doctor ordered.
  17. Sailor1234567890
    What a pretty little Schooner.
  18. Sailor1234567890
    I can't imagine working to that scale. Impressive.
  19. Sailor1234567890
    Deck cadet? I was a deck cadet in her for two months in the summer of 98.
  20. Sailor1234567890
    I spent 6 months of my career sailing lakers. MV JEAN PARISIEN and MV ALGOMARINE. This is 15 years or so ago now. We used to race the steam powered boats. No way we could keep up with them. Steam is such a cool motive force. I'm thankful that once I joined the navy I was able to sail a steamer. Big old diesel boilers and steam turbines. Lots of power. Tres tres cool.
  21. Sailor1234567890
    Nice work on the planking. Looking forward to seeing your progress on her.
  22. Sailor1234567890
    I spent a lovely afternoon sailing Baltimore Harbor in PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II. We had all fore and aft sails set but not the squares. I was hoping for them as well but that didn't happen. Still, she's a wonderful ship to steer. You can feel her power up as you bear off and she really starts to run. We had about 10-15 knot winds that day so it was beautiful sailing.
  23. Sailor1234567890
    I love watching these CS hulls of yours come together as something else. Still waiting for the GREAT REPUBLIC multiple hull build you mentioned.
  24. Sailor1234567890
    Very cool. Look forward to seeing her progress.
  25. Sailor1234567890
    Your pics show a project so far out of my league. It's nice to see others builds though. Maybe one day I'll do VICTORY.

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.
