    I am so pleased to have the sander/ thickness sander and table saw of Byrnes. My best tool investment ever!

    O'boy, I would love to have Indy in my collection. What a beauty!

    I like it. It's almost a shame to cover up all the details with a body.

    Robert, my warmest We have an extensive database for you to go through before making up your mind, just take your time and set for a model you think will be good for you. Look into build logs of a model that you think off and see whether it could a choice of yours. All models vary quality and details. As I know everyone in here will say: "Stay away from any kits from China" When buying look into our sponsors, as they are accredited and reliable, and there might be a small discount going that route. Best of luck of your choice and again Welcome to us.

    Looks like my cat "Tigger", looking at a new toy - thinking "what the heck is that"😁 Nice raft though.

    I did a small purchase of various Winsor & Newton promarker. I painted one dead eye ( Chucks) with 0523 Coffee stain. That will second from left, the other eyes are chucks but has been exposed to workshop weather for three years. Don't know if I should stay with the old ones or cover them as the other eyes will be attached. Another option is to with the peach. Thats the pen.

    Very nice Echo. Toni, you are amazing.

    Are you clearcoating the whole body after you have applied the decals? Looking real good, leave the engine hood open to show the details of the engine.

    When I built the MS longboat, I used dry planks "per Chuck's method) with a heat gun to form them. Yes, it is extremely hot air for your fingers but not for the wood. Worked like a charm.

    I went back to the material board and didn't like the outcome of the masts. The material was way too soft and started to warp very quickly, a trip to Home Depot for other items and I found oak dowels. This has so far proven to be much better and holding up to the shaping. I used "sanding sponge" 80 grit for the second mast, which was easier to work with.

    Gabe, another reason for me to get 3d printer up and running, unfortunate it's not a resin printer.
  20. Nirvana
    Keith, that was a real good one. Specially regarding bird photography. Patience, waiting and never give up!
  21. Nirvana
    Arthur, don't stress and push to get things done. Here is very example to stop,don't glue anything into place. Take pictures for us to look at so we can help.
  22. Nirvana
    My simple solution; drill, dowel sandpaper in hand and half an hour work. And here's a link.

    Worked oak mast to the left - untouched to the right
  24. Nirvana
    Beautiful wood!!

    Home depot of all the placed....😀

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.
