I bought that deck for my Connie (waiting in the yard - box), to me it has to much color. Don't know if I am going with that or the Vallejo Wood paint kit.

Henke, Is there any indication of where the slots is to be on the drawings? It might be that your chess tree piece is just oversized. Knowing where the slot is on the plans and you should be able to sand the piece to correct size. Or create a new piece from scrap wood using the measurements from the plan. Good luck and I know you will find your way to make this correct. Lycka till!

Juhu, That is a very nice build log you have created. And the build of her is beautiful. Looking forward seeing the rigging.

Neal, That's not good! I hope your small resin machine will come together and do what it's supposed to do.

I have tried the festools shopvac at a dealership. I was surprised how quiet it is. It has a long nose and come with auto switch. Which means when a saw or sander is connected to power outlet on vac it starts when saw or sander starts. Yes they are pricey but comes in three different sizes too. -
Ben, I truly like the Sphinx.... but as it is in my workshop the "Time/Space" relation doesn't compute. However, I am truly happy to see a new source of great rope. Thank you for supplying us with that. (Just checked the webpage of yours) Now back to Jaceks build log. Sorry for the disturbance.....😄

Greetings From Beaverton, Oregon

Hello Pete, Warm welcome to us. -
What I realized before created my waterline was to have the keel level correct. You will get that from the plans. After that I used a laser level to get my line........ if it was correct or not is up to question. But using Amati build holder will not be the best way to the water line right. My final waterline was okay.

Mark, I knew it! You just couldn't stand it seeing others getting the Sphinx....😄 Well, I found my comfy chair and getting an ice-tea. I will follow this this build with interest. And you are off with a good start.

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.
