    thanks for the comments. haven't heard a word from ME whether they are going to make corrections. I wonder if Sam knows? Stopped after completing the bulkheads; and I think they're correct as near as I can tell. Are others proceeding? Sort of disappointing. My limited knowledge leads me to believe the stoves were mounted on a brick base. Nice today in Stuart. Too nice to work anymore on the ECB. Cheers, Terry

    absolutely superb work....still haven't resumed my build of the ESSEX. Bob, any thoughts on that subject? Terry
  4. Chenequa
    Bob, following your work is very enlightening. Soo much better than I've been doing; but helpful to get better. I still have ESSEX on the shelf where you suggested I stop. Is there anything new from Model Expo on replacments or changes to the kit? Will be done with EMMA sometime soon, and just wondering what to do next. Cheers, Terry

    beautiful work Bob....we got 9-10 inches up here in Stuart. Fortunately, just had a section of the roof redone, and it didn't leak. Our courses opened today. Let's see; if that was rain was snow up north, we'd be buried. got plenty done on the ECB while the deluge fell. Terry

    Oh, BTW, anyone try to contact the Lumberyard lately? I've e mailed and called; no answer or response. Merry Christmas, Terry

    I'm new to these forums, and finding them very helpful. Hopefully improving my own modeling after many years. What's your next build? Terry
  8. Chenequa
    what lovely work...I'm impressed! Terry
  9. Chenequa
    well, as I said before, I took your advice and will wait on ME....started the Emma .......this PM, while I tape the struggling Packers play Atlanta.

    OK I'm convinced! I'll put it on the shelf and move on to another. Meanwhile wait and see what ME does for us. I also want to build the ESSEX. Good luck to all. Terry
  12. Chenequa
    well I'm sure you're right, but I'd like to see if I can get through the GP's and then see about planking. However, I'm surprised that ME hasn't recalled all the kits and offered us either a refund or a credit toward future purchases. Yours look really good, but I'm not in your league, but have enjoyed using your pics as a guide. I've got another kit to do, so perhaps I'll wait and see what they do. Tearing up what I've done so far doesn't seem practical either. I was about to correct the BHs I can see aren't right, before I started the GPs. Thanks for the advise. I'm up in Stuart, FL. Terry

    I just had a go round w/ME., I ordered a replacement board with the stern frames on it, as I broke two getting them out. At first I was told they had stopped shipping replacement parts for the model. But when I told Tom Snow that I was sure that particular board was OK, he relented, after apparently talking to a supervisor. However, sometime next week at the earliest. He claimed to be unaware of the problems with the kit. Ah well, continue someplace else.

    thanks Sam....all these and never had this prob before, but glad you're working on it. Just finished the stern frames. Should I continue and start the gun port framing. Or do u think there might be some changes affecting those projects? Thanks, Terry
  16. Chenequa
    thanks...I reset the BHs and did the stern frames. called ME yesterday to ask what might happen to my kit, which came in May. Haven't had a return call. I'd like to continue, but am hesitant. They had earlier just referred me to MSW. I did the Halifax a few years ago from the Lumber Yard. Enjoyed it. I saw u recommended the Oneida. Thanks, Terry
  17. Chenequa
    well, that means buying something else for the interim...finished the Confederacy and the Picket Boat last summer. like your ideas for substitutions. Whom do u buy from? thanks fro the warning, Terry
  18. Chenequa
    just starting ESSEX. find bh's don't seat to the former. do I saw out the s;ots, or wait for correction from ME. are there other problems ahead? Terry

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.
