I fully agree with Chuck. We all know the feeling, but: you've had the skills and great strength of character to come this far on your Winnie, so I'm sure you you will finish it beautifully as well! The final outcome of a Winnie build shows a man's endurance, character and inner spirit here. Some are too careful, precise and thereby slow (like myself), some have given up, others are fast ánd precise (can't understand how they do it (;-)), others are masters and relatively quick and we have everything in between in these build logs. We all have minor or maybe even major spots we would and could have done better. But that's for all of our next models to improve... As long as you have fun, pleasure and enjoyment building and keep getting and being inspired here on Modelshipworld, that's gold and everything is allright! You should really feel good and be proud of what you have achieved. I'm sure when fully finished, everyone visiting your house will look with great interest and admiration at your model! At least I know I do! So keep up the good and beautiful work and you'll feel really proud in the end as well! Cheers, Frank.

Hi Joe, It's exactly as Glenn says, nomodel is perect, no part you make is perfect, but when good enough put it on and carry on. In the end you'll have a fantastic model to stare at and enjoy with a noce whisky or thea! But ofcourse, it's your model, do as you please, either way I'll be interested to follow! Frank.

Congratulations on finishing your superb model of HMS Winchelsea 1764 Glenn! Your build log was and still is an inspiration and a true benchmark for me. I don’t have as much time and your experience clearly not only shows in your building skills, but also in your fast work pace… Once again congratulations and I’ll be following your next project with great interest as well! Cheers, Frank.

Congratulations Ben, A big achievement and she’s a real beauty! I love the case as well. Minimalistic is my approach to that as well, not drawing attention away from the model! Five years, I think that will be about the time needed for me as well. Cheers, Frank.

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.
