    Bummer you got cut Mike, but I think every ship being built in this forum has the modeler's DNA embedded in it.

    Lovely work and great pics Gaetan!

    Wow Piet!! They turned out amazing! A croc with teeth! Next you'll be doing carvings for the Royal William, Wasa, and all those other heavily ornamented ships.

    Very nice!!! Your Admiral's the only one you need to worry about Dennis! When the "look" is administered, it's time to run and hide!

    Looking good Dennis! Really like the stained-glass!

    Sorry about the blending problems Ken! That's been an issue with ME for quite a while now in not supplying enough of the copper tape to do a decent job. And I'm not sure if time will blend the 2 shades or not. I do know ME was made aware of it at least 2 years ago, because I talked myself to a Rep there about that issue and a couple others. I think my solution for that problem will be just to get 2 fresh rolls when I get ready, just to be sure of a match.

    You're doing a real nice job with the planking Mike! And I too like the contrast!

    Hi Chuck! I'm guessing at some point you'll be drawing the line as to how many of these parts for your Cheerful will be made, and available as pre-made parts for her, but I have to ask if there will be "ladder-kits" down the road?

    Amazing work Patrick!

    Wow Dave!! You're becoming quite a hand at this carving work! Very nice!!
  11. GLakie
    Splendid work Michael! It doesn't matter about how long it takes when you see the level of detail you're putting into her!
  12. GLakie
    Nice work with the rigging Jack! Can't wait to see what you've decided about colors!

    A couple years ago when I had a flu-bug, my cat wanted to help!

    Sorry to hear about the "flair-up" Jesse, but there's no deadline on her. Just concentrate on getting well! Edit: Your cat probably senses you're not feeling good!

    Interesting in that I wouldn't have thought Swiss Pear would be so forgiving to bend to that extreme without breaking, even after soaking. Very nice!

    I agree with every other adjective that the other guys have been using Glenn. Just ran across this build and found your craftsmanship and attention to detail, just outstanding. If you don't mind, I'll park a barrel up in the bleachers here and keep on admiring your work. Cheers

    Very nice Nenad! Nice work!
  18. GLakie
    It's a bummer you had to re-do them Dave, but the framed-in look does seem better.
  19. GLakie
    Nice work Frank! It's a God-Send having a router and router-table set-up isn't it?
  20. GLakie
    The hull ornamentation turned out splendid Vince. Nicely done!
  21. GLakie
    Don't know how much input I can offer Piet, but I admire your diligence with these fiddly parts.
  22. GLakie
    I know that feeling well Mike. Whenever I start having problems on any project, I just pack it in and walk away for a while, so I start with a fresh perspective!
  23. GLakie
    Looking good Mike!
  24. GLakie
    Definitely good news Piet! Congratulations on getting that clean bill-of-health!

    Watching all this come together is cool stuff Dennis, but like everyone else, I'm wondering what the final function for that upper platform will be.

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.
