Wonderful progress on Peerless, Eric. I too agree - very convincing results from your canvas method. Gary

I turn my head for a few moments, and you've completed half the lightship. Breakneck speed and very nice workmanship. Keep it up Nils. Gary

HA! Whenever I see such a vehicle, my natural instinct is to recoil in horror. To spend 6 hours cleaning it, attests to the level of affection for your daughter. I hope she appreciates how fortunate she is to have such a father. Masterful work on this rudder frame, Keith. Carefully thought-out process and expertly executed. Gary

Ouch and danged! Self-inflicted wounds just hurt a bit more don't they? Oh, how I know. Amen, but the lure is irresistible. Gary

Good to hear of Maggie's continuing progress, Keith! Putting away the walker seems a huge milestone. Stay strong my friend. Wishing the very best for both of you. Gary

Hello Keith, It is good to hear that Maggie continues to improve even if progress in some areas are slower than others. My understanding of this is that slowdowns and even temporary setbacks are not uncommon. I can only imagine how busy you must be and the level of stress you’re experiencing. It must be exhausting. All you can do is your best. Try to find some time for yourself to decompress on a daily basis. I wish you both a speedy return to some level of normalcy and a peaceful future. Gary

Yes, the drawings are detailed in some respects and vague in others. They are copies of the designer's originals that were used in the construction of three individual boats. The intended users of these drawings were professional boat builders and consequently exhaustive details are not offered. Details that a modeler would love to see. This question stings because I agonized over the decision to not build this boat in a larger scale with one side of the hull fully exposing the entire below deck arrangement. Fully framed with every possible detail shown. But I chickened out, so no, there'll be no need to build the engine. Thanks Richard. Yes, the boat is about 79' and in 1:48 that's just under 20". Not huge by any means, but the largest boat I've built. Thanks Marc. And thank you Rick for the nice comment. Gary

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.
