    Hi Andy, For hull planking, frames and keel I use pearwood, boxwood for sculptures and ebony for the rest. For the patina - (sheen ?) I use this type of products and "Brou de noix" : walnut stain ? Sorry for the traduction (Google) It is necessary to make tests imperatively. Patrick

    Hello, no epoxy, simple matte tape on which I can trace the location of the nails. Properly apply, trace, drill, vacuum and finally coat with wood pulp. A few words but in reality it is quite long! (Do a test as I described on the first page). Patrick

    Noel, I simply bought 1mm thick boards that worked as shown in the photos. You have to be quick to stick the first two blades and present them on the shell to get the rounding by keeping it in place for a few seconds. Next sticks the third on the two preceding ones, presents again, maintains. Same for the fourth. The final shape is then obtained in 4 mm which is sufficient to sand and to adapt. I used the universal adhesive. The disadvantage of this method is that by sanding too much the lower blade is uncovered : it is necessary to go slowly. (The other method is to cut into the mass, which avoids this risk). I am glad to have tested and obtained this result. Patrick

    Hello everyone ! My name is Patrick, 64, retired for 4 years soon and living in Poissy, a small town located 30 km west of Paris. I have been watching your works on this forum for several years now and as some of my compatriots are doing, I would like to show you a project I started four years ago : a French frigate named "La Renommée". I work from a monograph by Jean BOUDRIOT, the scale is 1/48. At this stage, I just finished the hull and I will show you some pictures without too many comments, the pictures speaking for themselves ... and moreover, my "English" is a bit "rusty". I will go in stages, to condense 4 years of work in a few days of publication. So let's go ... [/url Patrick

    Thank you Johann! Without wanting to abuse, could you also provide me with some details about making these small holding tools , particularly on the way to realize and implant the small pins with precision : Thank you in advance and really, congratulations for your wonderful work I have been watching from the beginning. Patrick

    I saw your link Johann, my question was about making these tools : How do you realize it, with what type of tooling because I think that this steel must be hard? Thank you in advance. Patrick

    Hello Johann, I come back a little ... You have shown pictures explaining your methods to achieve dead-eyes. I see that you realize it of 2.3 millimeters in diameter ! Could you elaborate on the method, in particular for the realization of the necessary tools? Thanks in advance. Patrick

    Very nice log Marc ! I love this way of explaining the genesis of things: sculptures, guns now ... all this for a future model of exception. A big congratulations to you for this very inspiring subject. Patrick

    Comme on se retrouve camarade ! Salut Marc, content de te lire ... belle prestation qui suscitera peut-être des vocations, qui sait. A plus et ... j'ai hâte de voir la suite ! Patrick

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.
