Wow, you've got a lot done on her Mike! She's looking splendid, as I knew she would. I apologize for not checking in for so long, but a couple medical problems put me down for a while. Still trying to recover, but doing better. As a side, I think the Santa Ana will look good on you!

Sorry I missed the last couple months of this wonderful build Danny. Been a bit under the weather for a while now, but congratulations on another absolutely beautiful cross-section to accompany the Vulture!

It's amazing to see the amount of research that goes into these older vessels. Very nice!

Like Mark says Jack, it looks like you're overcoming the plan's faults, and doing a great job!

Great looking carronades Jesse! Clever idea with the jig and template! Been going through a wee bout myself lately, and I feel your pain. Hope it goes away sooner rather than later.

I am by no means an authority on rudder-coats Mark, but yours seems to look fine and match it's surrounding area to me! Having said that, I'd have to ask if, in reality, it wouldn't be a darker, more tar-like color?

Congratulations Mike! An honor most deserved!

Glad you got it sorted out Michael! I ended up just getting the screw-clamp Proxxon Vise for just that reason. Suction-cups usually work best with a glass-smooth surface, and work-benches normally aren't that smooth.

Even though I know I said we'd hate to see you quit building tall ships, I also believe change is a healthy thing, so I know you'll do well in whatever new projects you decide on Mike.

She looks great with all her teeth in place Dave! Must be a pleasant change of pace from doing all those carvings! Very nice!

Thanks Jack! Must be brass threads! Wonder if they could be re-tapped with a courser thread, and a slightly larger thumbscrew?

Looking good Jack! Did you make those "thumb-screw" clamps yourself, or did you find an outlet that carries them?

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.
