    Tristan, Warm . The choice of the cutter seems to be a great one. Just watch the video from BlueJacket. Enjoy! Some day I hope to build a BlueJacket kit.

    Maury, is that font called Bondoni or Bodoni? My office word has the Bodoni compressed font.
  3. Nirvana
    Very nice, Maury. Wonder if that font is somewhat consistent with the time era, thinking about Syren?

    Can we get a current weight?
  5. Nirvana
    WOW!
  6. Nirvana
    Off to a good start. Looking forward to see more.

    Aaron, Did you start a build log for us to follow. If not, it's high-time to do so and upload pictures so we can help or at least guide you.
  8. Nirvana
    Rich, So you got your spot in a sardine can..... Couldn't resist...😁 Enjoy the trip and show us pictures.

    Beautiful work, Gil!

    Al, Steve is right, you certainly need to start the tapering of the planks. But overall it's looking good.

    Peter, That was the approach I intended to go, but then it seems like most are adding the cannon port framing before sanding. I haven't sanded mine yet.

    Al, Did you get any invitation to PSSM's meeting last weekend. This meeting took place at Foss Waterway Seaport. I had my longboat on display. Make sure to contact Floyd for the mailing list. However, your longboats planking is coming along nicely after the corrections.

    , Dooder85 Maybe we can get a real name some day as well. Choose a model that you feel you can be comfortable with, start a build log and post the progress. If stuck (which will happen) we are here to help.

    Next step after all the planking is to get the knight and timberheads in. First timberhead installed was a mistake, had to rip it out. Then I thought..... I have the bulkhead tops, so why not use them as a guide. With some scrap planks I had my guide. Cutting the 1/8th square I soon had my timberhead correctly cut and angled, with the planks it was easy to get it properly installed. As this timberhead is the first one installed I figured this is the way to get the remaining stanchions installed with the right angles.

    John, A warm Syren seems to be most popular ModelExpo kit so far. Pulling up a chair to tag along this build.
  16. Nirvana
    Aydin, That model deserves a special place as for display. Hope you a case for her and location. Beautiful work !

    Dave, We had a great time at The Foss. The progress of your scratch build is coming together quick. I hope you can meet the deadline.😀 My project is almost done, and I will be uploading pictures with a build log in the next day or two.
  18. Nirvana
    Brian, Have you tried to wrap the bulkhead with a towel that has some light wetness and microwave then put the weight on top. Just a thought..... How severe is the warp?
  19. Nirvana
    Mike, You are absolutely right having someone else looking over instructions. Daria would probably have prevented this from the start.....😀
  20. Nirvana
    Holy moly! What an outstanding job you have done! Am I blind or is the 18th Century Longboat missing in the listing? Edit: My T37 is also finished.
  21. Nirvana
    Mike, You are doing a great job there, the rigging looks good. The idea of using the hearts from Syren made a difference.
  22. Nirvana
    I would be in so much trouble getting this magnificent kit. Checking my allowance for this period I am already over my budget so, for now I am sad to let it go. Would be such a good complement to the Longboat. Chuck, that is a beautiful kit.
  23. Nirvana
    28 days later! Decking complete! Minor touch up needed before proceeding. Nibbing boxwood is hard.😎
  24. Nirvana
    Dave, I have the same thickness of boxwood laying around, so I will give that a shot.
  25. Nirvana
    Have no more words........ fantastic!

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.
