    Dutchman, sorry for leaving you out. And yes, it was intended for you too...

    Peter, My original material from ME was good quality, but badly warped so it wasn't useful. Then I got a two new set from ME, both good but I opted to go with the latter white wood. (See my log) But I also have the "red plywood" set. Contemplating of putting the other set together just for the heck of it...... could be fun doing another "Syren"...... In my case I provided pictures to Marc at ME, proving my case regarding the warped keel. You should try to contact ME in this matter.

    That's a wonderful picture of Daria and holding the model.

    They may be the smallest cannons you have worked, but they are coming along beautifully.

    David, I am so glad I found your build log. Also that we have met at the Foss museum during the PSSM meeting. This scratch build is coming together great. Looking forward to seeing this boat again. Per

    Peter, Well, since I am also building the Syren, I like to welcome you. Your build looks very clean and good.

    The Bluenose is on backorder at ModelExpo. Buying directly from them will avoid pitfalls like that. Price at ModelExpo 170 dollars.

    As usual - Impressive!

    Yes, SketchUp has become very popular since it has a shallow learning curve. It's used by wood craft designers. Commonly used in the movie/TV business as well. I use the program for architecture design, together with the Podium for rendering.

    Brian, Sometimes the answer is right in front of you.....

    Patrick, I used that beveling when planking my Bluenose. Made it easier.

    Ken, I just grabbed one of the empty chairs to follow your build. Very fascinating and different! One question I do have ...... which hasn't been asked, strangely. Even with the scale 1:354 she looks like to become a large model. How long will she be? I might pick up the idea of the automotive glazing putty. At least I have to try it.

    I like the tutorial of your block making. Might come handy some day.
  14. Nirvana
    Hamilton, With your SketchUp you also have something called layout (separate part) that will handle the scaling for printing.

    Hi Art, A warm and just a very light breeze of welcome to MSW. I am glad seeing a new member showing up so soon after all the terrible storms hitting the area of yours. My thoughts are all with you.....
  16. Nirvana
    Floyd, I second that.....

    I have the Byrne's thickness sander and am very happy with it. Quiet too.

    Nice solid start with the Bluenose, pulling up a chair and making myself "comfy" Oh, btw where is Sjors with the popcorn?

    Fascinating virtual build log.

    Good to hear that our Jim and Donna are well.

    Gil, Back in Sweden som 25 years ago I were so close to buy a real Drakbåt. Then family life came in between.
  22. Nirvana
    Experiment...... Experiment!

    Nibbing is taking place, it goes slowly. Stayed home due to fever. But being somewhat active and not staying in bed all day is a good treatment.

    Bill, In the meny select "Import" , you will get option of various types of extension such as TIFF and more. What is important is to explode the picture so you have possibility of editing. This way you can create areas. Btw, I love the cartoons of yours.. Like to see more in the theme of ship modeling and ships in general.
  25. Nirvana
    There are also lots of tutorials for creating ship models using SketchUp online, just do a simple search. And you will be amazed. I like working with SketchUp, have done that since it first came out.

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.
