    The grain of the wood comes up a treat. I will definitely do that when I start my Endeavour kit (currently on the shelf together with the Beagle). Cheers.............Fernando

    Congratulations on a great looking model. The colours you chose look a treat and really enjoyed following along on your build log. Cheers.......Fernando 🍻🍻

    Hi Matt Many thanks for the photographs. Beautiful workmanship on the Perseverance. I hope I can do the same for my model when I get back to the docks! Cheers...........Fernando

    That's a nice looking piece of work Matt. It looks like the perfect fit. I think I'll take your lead and build one myself 👍👍 Any chance you can give me rough dimensions of what you have made? Can you also send me photos of your model? The small bit I saw in your photo looks really nice. Cheers............Fernando

    No more floggings but after nearly 7 weeks here am starting to look like a Tasmanian..(..am growing an extra toe!!) 😄😄

    Hi Mike Looks like you're moving at a cracking pace and the model is looking very smart. Black-It is worth the $30 as it will last a lifetime. I bought my bottle about 5 years ago and haven't used much at all since that time. Keep up the good work and I look forward to further updates. Cheers............Fernando PS. I'm still in Tasmania and not keen to head back to Sydney while the lockdown is still on and Covid numbers are still on the rise. The only downside is that under lockdown I would have more time on important things like working on my Perseverance!!! 🤕

    Hello Mike, Really looking smart! I really enjoyed building the deck furniture as it starts to look like it's heading towards the home straight......that is until I started the rigging🙄 Cheers...... Fernando

    Hi Mike, looking really good. I had similar problems with the transom cap with some minor spacing showing. I just put some tiny bits of wood filler and painted the spots the same black as the cap and....voila, spaces gone👍 Cheers.......Fernando 🍻

    Hi Mike Many thanks for your kind comments and I have added your build on my "watch list". Yes, it's been a long time between posts but I certainly have not given up on the Perseverance. The past couple of years , despite lockdowns etc. have been very busy with the addition of two grandkids and work commitments keeping me out of the boatyard. Work on her has been very haphazard but still on going although at a snails pace. I'm currently in Tasmania so am unable to do any work on her until I get back to Sydney which will probably be after the lockdowns come to a close up there. Cheers...........Fernando

    Hi Dave I have this kit on the shelf so will tag along for the ride! Cheers......Fernando

    Congratulations on a very nice build🍻🍻

    Hi Allan Many thanks for a very informative booklet. Although I have completed 4 builds (and about to finish my 5th) there is always something to learn in this very enjoyable hobby! Cheers..............Fernando

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.
