    Two machines of Byrnes I really like to get is the table saw and sander. I have the thickness sander of his and I love it. One thing when it comes to Byrnes machines, is how quiet they are.

    Amalio, good morning to you too. Having breakfast and enjoying the latest pictures of yours. Thank you!

    Amalio, true handcraft! Beautiful done.

    I like your way approaching of the top rail in just one piece. I created all mine in pieces according to plans. I have to get used to using the ship curves.

    Very nice! One advantage creating a model in Fusion360 is that the base frame (keel and bulkheads) will be straight. Unless you make it like a banana on purpose. Now add on with some plywood surface and do another rendering (HQ) and we will be blown away. Rendering makes a huge difference and so realistic. Keep it up!

    Yes

    Just recently I was fortunate of getting a free kit. This kit was already started with the framing and planking done. I am looking forward to continue this kit. The cannons and walkway are just dry-fitted so is the stem piece.

    Friday treat on a Thursday? Thank you, Amalio You made my day.

    Amalio, in post #705 you have a ruler placed length wise and marks 520mm. Is that midship? If so, … all I have to say is wow, she will be a big lady. What is the projected height from bottom of keel to top of mast? Very beautiful build!

    Aah, my morning treat. Thank you, Amalio

    Välkommen till MSW.

    Glad to see this done! Great job, Floyd!

    Yay, my Friday morning treat!

    I have this kit as well, got wood deck for her. Will invest in better cannons and rigging. Very likely buying the rope walk from Chuck. What I will do, is to "create" ballast so she won't tip over. Probably using modeling clay. But I will certainly follow the remaining part of this log.

    Corner trim in place so is the brass rings for the airport. Test fitting on the deck.mo

    Bending veneer for the cabin.
  17. Nirvana
    Bob, Thank you, you certainly inspired me with your build log.
  18. Nirvana
    As I am cheating when building the main cabin, instead of planking the sides I am using a sewing thread to create the illusion of plank separation. When 16" away I can't tell if it's scribed or not. The line is glued into places with diluted wooden glue.

    "I wonder if the Chinese knock-offs are putting these smaller outfits out of business " Well, that is spot on of what's going on. Companies like Micro-mark are doing this to the market, promoting Chinese knock-offs.

    I am pulling up a chair to follow this F360 creation. I think we all have different approaches of making our hulls. You have certainly go the lines right.

    Isn't it barge and tug birthday this weekend?
  22. Nirvana
    She is big! Looking forward to see the detailing being added. Nice job.
  23. Nirvana
    John, the plans are scaled to 1:50, so she is just little longer than 23 meters or 76". She was part of a very popular group of luxury yacht in Sweden and Europe.

    I have been part of a tug/barge project over the past year. This project has involved designing everything using Fusion360. I am now back to regular physical modelling but started a new private project. This involves a motor yacht from 1930, I have the plans so it will be a fairly easy work to create a 3d model. But I won't stop there, my intention is to create frames and parts for building her as a RC yacht. Here is a picture of her as on plan.

    Denis, You should have added some staining from "glue" and "mis-painting" to really throw of us....... lol Your work is outstanding! I am working with Fusion 360 and doing the rendering, but I am lightyears behind you. I have alot to learn!

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.
