    The rudder came out good Jack. Yeah - you gotta love the instruction manuals. There are some guys here that rarely use them, relying totally on the plans and reference photos though.

    She does look splendid Bob. The rigging makes her stand out nicely.

    Cool stuff Mark! Fuzzy dice also helps with getting more out of the "top-end".

    I think the black sets them off nicely Vince. Sure is a lot of "windows" in that hull.

    Congratulations and Happy New Year Robb. Certainly is a milestone. Enjoy the moment!

    Maybe the batch-file function went wonky here?

    Ah!! -- Experimentation!! I like it!

    Happy New Year to you too Bob. Nice work on the rudder.
  11. GLakie
    That's a nice piece of wood for a base, and should make a beautiful finish to set her on.

    Awesome stuff Patrick! Happy New Year to you too!

    Hi Piet! I hope you and Gwen have a safe and Happy New Year and a great 2016!!

    Well stocked up myself John, since I don't go out on "amateur nights" either. I've seen the majority of people can't drive sober most of the time, let alone after drinking.

    Ah! Welcome to the club!
  16. GLakie
    Have a great New Year and better 2016 Pat!

    Nice work Dave! She looks great with her teeth in place. Amazing carving work too! Have a safe and Happy New Year yourself!!

    Been quietly following this one for a while now Wes, and I must say this is definitely a unique approach, and one, I think, is a "one-of-a-kind" build. You said in the beginning, something about having the skill, or know how, to pull this off, but I would say that anybody that can accomplish what you have already, AND doing it in an unconventional way to reach the same end, is more than skilled enough to pull it off. Very nice! Hope you have a great 2016 and Happy New Year

    Congrats on getting her "right-side-up" Mark. Certainly a mile-stone. Very nice!

    Beautiful work on the 4-lb'rs Grant!
  22. GLakie
    Ah -- Finally found your build Mike. Hope it ain't too late to pull up a barrel out in the wings.
  23. GLakie
    Nice work there Captain. It appears there's a fair amount of calculation going on here, and I'll be patiently awaiting more updates!
  24. GLakie
    Nice looking shrouds Geoff!
  25. GLakie
    Really nice work Tom! This is sure to be one of the staples on this site for future Connie builds.

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.
