    Thank you, Bob! Yes, you are right, during the last two years my business obligations doubled or even trebled, and I have a hard time freeing up a few hours for modeling now and again. Especially this whole Corona disaster generates the need for new business strategies to be able to survive, which translates into a lot of extra work. I really regret this because like you I love to build ship models. But like all of us I have to deal with reality . . . Thomas

    Your head timbers look really good, Robin! Thomas
  25. Gahm
    Yes, you are right. I used basswood only for the underlying structure and for the two moldings (each assembled out of 2 thinned down sheets of basswood). All other parts I made out of pear wood except the window frames. Those were assembled from little birch veneer pieces to keep them uniformly thin (thickness of the veneer). Btw, the easiest way to get your hands on the wood of your choice is through the internet (for example https://www.dlumberyard.com/wood.html). Thomas

    Your first try already looks pretty good. However, to have a chance to get the results you want to have you need to get away from bass wood and switch to a firmer type of wood, which is better suited for carving and small precision work. Pear or boxwood are well suited for this. It will make your life much easier in achieving good results 😉 Thomas

    Beautiful work, WalrusGuy! Thomas

    Looking very good, Robin! And yes, the head rail timbers are a lot of fun! I don't really envy you 😊 Thomas

    As usual you can do it in different ways. One of the easier methods is to notch the top head rail into the rail (see picture) Thomas

    Your craftsmanship is amazing! Wonderful model! Thomas

    The head rail is one of the tricky parts of the model. But you are off to a very good start! Thomas

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.
