    Beautiful Jesse.... Just beautiful. You're a hell of an artist my friend. Are you planning to bring the SM to Fayeteville?
  2. SawdustDave
    Thanks again to all you mates for all the HB wishes. Very pleasant day in the shop. Blocks came today.... Back to work.

    Jerome.... best post I've seen lately. Love it.
  4. SawdustDave
    The gudgeons are very nicely done Ed. The plating.... I am in pain for you sir. Never again for me.
  5. SawdustDave
    Ditto what Pat just posted.

    Having built the Vic twice, this is the most impressive build I have seen. Beautiful work mate.

    Always a treat to see every new post Remco. Beautiful work as usual mate.

    One great looking rudder Toni. Makes me want to re-do my Mayflower rudders.

    Augie is too modest. I think he actually doesn't know just how good his work is.... reminds me of Remco.
  10. SawdustDave
    Oh yes! Gold on black is about as classy as it gets Ed. Beautiful work as always. Dave

    Began the morning with a real downer. Ready to begin rigging spars for both Mayflowers and discovered that all the blocks in my boneyard are too large for either of these ships. My bad! So now, I'll work on shaping the larger scale spars while I must wait for Model Expo to ship me my blocks. Then remembered, a friend had recommended the Syren Company's blocks as being much better quality.... So I placed an order with Chuck. I'm going to have blocks coming out my yang! Pretty excited to begin their riggings....

    Steve....I can't, but I know someone who probably can, if interested.

    Thanks Frank.... I love it. As you can see I decided to make it my new Avatar. Marketable?.... not hardly. Way too much work.... not looking for any new challenges right now.... ha ha ha

    Sign ready to hang.... check out the ship figure. This was a fun little break ... Back to the Mayflower....

    Hope you don't mind if I pull up a chair for this beautiful build Kevin. What a clean job you're doing here. Amazing detail. Cheers Dave

    UPDATE - SHOP SIGN PROJECT Finished and assembled. Four or five coats of poly and ready to hang. Pretty pleased with the way it came out EXCEPT FOR ONE THING... I decided the little sail boat in the center of the original just didn't really represent my "Ship Yard" since I don't actually build sail boats. I build SHIPS. So I've got to come up with something more appropriate for the center. Guess I'll have to break out the carving tools....

    So I guess she can now navigate.... Nice day outside for a few pics....

    Thanks for that last post Ed. Even though I used the same technique with the Confederacy, I had completely forgotten the process I used over four years ago. Checked my boneyard cabinet and found everything sitting right there. I'll be using it to create the Mayflower's stern figures. Getting old is hell.
  19. SawdustDave
    I think you're right Frank. Definitely not a newbie kit. I'm thinking it's in the same class as the Confederacy. All my builds have been scratch, but I might make this one my first kit build. Not sure I have the will power I once had....
  20. SawdustDave
    Absolutely beautiful work Rusty.... shingles are amazing. I think the Winie is going to rival the Confederacy. Still thinking this will be my next build once Chuck releases the kit.
  21. SawdustDave
    She's really coming along beautifully Augie.
  22. SawdustDave
    I have to remind myself, this is a Mayflower build log.... sorry, if I got a little distracted with the stupid shop sign. So, back to the Mayflower.... Ratlines all tied, now she needs a rudder.... I do wish Piet would come over and create these pintles and gudgeons for me...
  23. SawdustDave
    EdT.... You really are beginning to present a unique challenge to the rest of us mortals. Although I can't speak for the rest of our MSW friends, I think we all have the same problem of trying to find appropriate words to express our appreciation for your amazing skills. Words like "WOW!" and "OMG!" just don't do the job. Just now looking at your carvings, my personal response was "You've got to be SHITTIN' me!" But, I could never write something that crude in this public forum of gentlemen and refined ladies. So I'll just continue with.... WOW!
  24. SawdustDave
    We all knew it just had to eventually come down to this.... Sixteen turnings down - just eight more to go....
  25. SawdustDave
    Any chance you will be able to bring this to the Fayetteville exhibit in April Hank?

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.
