Wow what an amazing site.

Good forum topics, nice bunch of members, some sound advice and amazing modelling.
After searching for Black Pearl references for a project, I drunkenly stumbled into this bar. Have been lurking for a month or so now.

Have modelled my entire life a wide range of topics but mostly cars and planes and am headed into shipbuilding. I do a lot of detail and scratch work and have started 3D printing too. 

Do woodwork, leatherwork, laser etching, 3D printing and soon metal lathe work….certainly have a tool fetish and far too large of a model kit stash.

I have ordered the mini disk sander everyone recommends here from Model Machines

Current floaty projects include:

1/72 plastic Black Pearl with some mods and dear Jack 3D printed

 And am trying to clear my project line up to get started on the Blue Nose, likely next year

Welcome to the forum!

 

That Black Pearl is looking great already. I hope you're going make it into a build log on here, or at least share more photos as you make progress on it. Are you planning on adding 1/72 Jack Sparrow to it as well?

Thank you

I will show some progress when I am back on it. 
It is trivial compared to the beautiful wooden ships on here that blow me away, but we all start somewhere I suppose🤔

Welcome aboard!, Scott! 
This is definitely a great site for this hobby. You'll be learning lots.  It's funny how the "on the shelf" projects grow with your family!  
Clear skies and sharp tools!

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.
