    Hey Mark she is coming together nicely! I remember this stage when I was working on Constitution. There is light at the end of the tunnel and you’ll get there soon enough.

    Hi Carl, yeah my camera is old and not very good I must admit. The chess is good and I volunteer twice a month. The seniors enjoy it and it’s proven to reduce, or eliminate ... Alzheimer’s and dementia which is a bonus for them!

    I got the hull painted up. I will weather it eventually to make it look like it's been out to sea on a vicarious voyage. Next is to install portholes amidship. You can see holes per-drilled. Jeff

    Good to see your health has improved and you’re working diligently to complete her! Happy New Year Bro!

    Hi Michael, Things are really progressing nicely for you and the model is going to be brand new when you’re done. I can’t wait to see it back in the Library from where it came from full of it’s former glory. Just getting over the nasty bug that's been going around as well .... Jeff

    Your Man Cave looks good Michael! Nice looking floor, should be easy to clean up after a hard day of modelling. A major downsizing for sure* Merry Christmas to you and yours and Happy New Year! Jeff

    I am sure you're releaved it's done. Without a doubt the figures on deck and in the wheelhouse make her come alive. Once she is mounted in the case she will be a thing of beauty and Mark is right she is deserving of being in a museum rest assured. Congrat's Nils!!!!! Jeff
  23. Chasseur
    2 thumbs up Mark!
  24. Chasseur
    Wonderbar mein Brassmeister! She'll look outstanding in the case Nils*

    Life has got in the way of my hobbies since my last post, renovations/painting on the house, washing machine cratered; my eldest son slipped a disc in his back, work is busy, and we finally got my youngest son’s 73 Nova SS on the road. So henceforth no man cave time whatsoever. Today I finally got back into the build and started on all of the yards/spars and built myself a gizmo from an old Phillips shaver to taper the ends on the yards and spars. First two pictures is the work started for the upper cross trees. Next 2 pictures is the gizmo I built from the can motor and Frankenstein power supply. Inside the shaver is a step down transformer from 110 AC to 6 volt D.C. I mounted the transformer in a box and the can motor on a swiveling pedestal. The stone is from a Dremel tool glued to the little blue ring gear. Next picture is start of all of the spar and yard work. Sewing Needles and extremely small diameter wire for the aforementioned. Next picture is the upper cross-tree and the braces I have to model coming off of the tree to keep the standing rigging from fouling with the yards. Last picture is the upper Forecastle area with the port and starboard running lights installed. More to come eventually... Jeff P.S. my youngest son got me back into playing Chess as a pastime as well!

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.
