    I always cringe when I hear stories of accidents with beautiful models. I'm glad you were able to fix it.

    Wow, your Cheerful looks amazing. I was following your build early on but I had some life changing family issues that took me away from the hobby for a few years. Seeing your works is a real inspiration to get back at it.

    The Lumberyard for Model Shipwrights https://www.dlumberyard.com The Lumberyard for Model Shipwrights Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I've been away from modeling since I last posted on this thread due to a family emergency.

    That's some fine looking brass work Mick. I would love to clone your shop too.

    Glad to have you here. Don't forget to start a build log when your ready.

    Glad to see you back and happy to be aboard your log. As far as holding the keel there are some great ideas in build logs to borrow. I think simple is better. I know sometimes we try to over think things.

    It's too bad he bugged out. Oh well, maybe he will find what he's looking for somewhere else. Hope he comes back though.

    I have a Veritas mini block plane but I'll keep an eye for one of those luthier plans. It looks like it would be easy to handle for a small tool. Thanks again.

    Thanks Mick. I really appreciate it. Looks like a nice tool.

    Glad to see some progress Mick. Nice work as usual. Oh, can you tell us about that little brass plane? It looks like the perfect tool for model work.

    Looks great from here Mark. I know what you mean about having to set the fun stuff aside now and then. It's not always a smooth road.

    She looks absolutely amazing Peter.

    That looks like a great space Tom. The natural light is a big bonus.

    Wow Dowmer. That's a nice looking flag. I love that it has some translucency.

    Agree. It's so nice to be able to mill that perfect plank as needed.

    I'm looking forward to it Steve. You add a lot of value to the form with your skill and humor. And besides you've become what I consider to be a friend.
  18. alde
    Well Steve, whatever you decide to build I'll be looking forward to the log.

    I' sorry to hear your throwing in the towel on the Connie. At least you'll come away from it with more knowledge for the next project.

    So, you cut those boat parts with the Death Star? Very nice.

    That is a nice looking knife handle. If you ever buy the flat surgical handles look for the ones made by Bard Parker. They are head and shoulders better than the ones made in India. The blades fit much better with much less wiggle and they are made of much harder material that holds up better. I have some that I have been using for 35 years and they are like the day I got them.

    This is going to be a great group build. I think a bunch of us will learn quite a lot from it.
  23. alde
    That's one fine looking hull BE. The Cheerful sure makes a beautiful model.
  24. alde
    Thank you Ian. Maybe too ambitious this soon.

    More beautiful work. The cannons look fantastic as does everything else.

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.
