    Buck, Enjoyed the pics! Brings back some very fond memories. I was stationed in the Springs from '74 to '80's. My duty station was the Cheyenne Mountain Complex and my base was Peterson AFB. Beautiful country. Views almost every where you look! Enjoy it all! A ride up Gold Camp Road was always a treat. I hope it hasn't changed too much!! Eddie

    Thank you all for the well wishes. Recovery is slow but constant. Feels really weird having my right eat and jaw line numb like I just came from the dentist. Docs say most of the feeling will return in the next 6 months to a year. Being a paraplegic with no feeling from the waist down I really don't need any other dead spots on this old bod of mine! I did get a small amount of work done. Rudder is mounted so no more "drifting in circles with the tide". Plenty of mistakes but that is what happens when a novice shipwright is commissioned to build a ship! Deck planking coming soon! Eddie

    Happy Birthday Matti!!!!

    Thank you all for the kind words and concern. The surgery went well. The tumors turned out to be more invasive than first thought. This caused the surgery to last nearly 2 hours longer than anticipated. Thankfully the biopsy showed the tumors to be benign. Recovery is going more slowly than was first thought. My post op appointment will be tomorrow and I am hopeful they will remove all the stitches. Won't be long now before I can stand to wear the Opivisor and get back to the shipyard! Kindest regards, Eddie P.S. Took a picture of my stitches. I hope no one finds them too upsetting.

    Hi all, Been a while since I posted. I haven't given up! I have been dealing with some medical problems that are cutting into my build time. The most serious is a Warthin's Tumor. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-warthins-tumor.htm Thank goodness it is benign! I am going to have it removed Friday 8/23 morning with an overnight stay in the hospital. Once this thing is gone and I have recovered from the surgery enough, I will return to work on the Elsie! Hope to post build updates soon! Eddie

    Jack, Will say a prayer for you, two year olds can be a hand full! The up side is you will have time with your grandchild which, in my opinion, makes it all worth while! They grow up so fast it's scary! Enjoy it while you can! The build will still be there when you can come back to it! Eddie

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.
