I have been getting blocks from Syrenmodelshipcompany.com for upcoming work to replace the stuff I get from Modelshipways.

 

As I am finishing my current build I saw that the last MS blocks I had for that build in the size I need are really badly made and I started to borrow a few from my stock of good ones.

WATCH OUT!

what I have from MS that is supposed to be 1/8 th of an inch is really 3/16ths of an inch

 

I do not know if this is just one batch or if this happens with multiple sizes but I can now see for sure that while chuck's blocks are the size he says others may not be!

 

Holding at Rigging stage :

MS Bluenose 1:64, rigging and finish work

 

Building Hull :

MS Fair American 1:48

 

In the yard:  18th Century Longboat, Model Shipways Kit

Done: AL Bounty Jolly Boat

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.
