    OMG! Rusty, I am so sorry to learn about your damaged Syren. I don't know what I would do if something like that happened to my own, which, as you recall, you and I were both honored to work with Chuck on this project as well as the Confederacy. But then, the plus side is, think about how much more skilled you are now.... and how much better she will be after your re-do. All makes for a good story for the grandkids..... right? Dave

    Always a pleasure to see Chuck bring his masterful touch to the development of another major creation. Just wishing I were a younger artist and could participate in this build. Working with Chuck really cranks up the creative juices in a modeler, for sure. Happy to take a front chair to follow this build, while I enjoy building his English Pinnace. Thanks Master Passaro, for allowing us mortals to follow along. Dave

    Glad to see you return in good health Patrick. Beautiful job on your Vic. Dave

    The bulwarks are looking fantastic Jon. Progress.... you’ll be tying rat lines before you know it. Dave

    NEXT PROJECT.... DECISION After careful consideration, and discussion with an old friend, I ordered my first manufactured kit ever today. Chuck Passaro’s English Pinnace is my clear choice for a beautiful model that does not require rigging shrouds and tying rat lines. While I'm not exactly sure if this will be achievable, my plan is to increase the scale to at least double the size of the completed model..... (from roughly 12" to 24") Should be quite a challenge. Very excited to be able to, once again, be working with the clear instructions written by the Master. Dave

    Ordered my kit for the Pinnace today.....very excited. Can’t wait to get my hands on it. Dave

    So why pay $90 bucks for a book when we can enjoy the entire build logs by such master modelers as KenX right here on MSW?
  23. SawdustDave
    Went to that link. The book by Dave McCann appears to be a photo documentation of his build.... doesn’t say what scale, but I’m guessing it is likely a 1:72 kit. I am not aware of another 1:60th model.

    Not me sir, but I would be interested in knowing more about such a book.

    She's coming along really great Jon. Just sent you a PM. Dave

    Beautiful job Steve. The Vic is my favorite, having scratch built her three times over the years. I go to sleep every night with her sitting right beside my bed. Dave

    TYING UP A COUPLE OF LOOSE ENDS THIS MORNING..... So after taking a couple of "victory laps", I began studying the model for any tweeks needed to make it better. First thing I discovered was the absence of the ships bell. Here's the big brass wood screw I used to create the bell. OK, so I wasn't able to etch the lettering seen here in this photo of the real bell. Mounted on the fore side of the main mast. Now, I can begin creating a few dozen rope coils to hang on all those belaying pins

    I might should explain.... wife has breathing issues that require very clean atmosphere at all times. We have FOUR freestanding air purifiers throughout the house. Dust particles don’t have a prayer.

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.
