how light it is

That's funny, While I was looking at my hull after placing the last planks and looking it all over and deciding if it was Viking funeral time or not, (Now with a full hull she can be floated) I thought that if nothing else she was solid and now has a little heft.

Nice work on cutting her free, Al.   That's always a surprise when you cut them loose, they're so light... and pretty strong.

Thank you Lawrence. You’ll be there before you know it. You are build a larger and much more complex ship and doing a great job of it at that.

 

Along with learning how to carve the decorations I’m making my treenails. I know you were trying to decide on a material to use for them. I decided on bamboo for two reasons. I want them to be very subtle as they would not really even show at this scale. Second I couldn’t draw any other wood through the Byrnes draw plate without constant breaking. Once I got the hang of the bamboo it went easy.

The heart is happiest when the head and the hands work together.

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.

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.
