    That's some nice work on the sheathing Tom! That'll make her perty. Cheers

    Nice touch Piet! Someone's going to score big time when they take possession of this beauty. Cheers

    Nice job serving those lines John! From what I've been reading about this serving machine, it's going to have to be put on my list of things to get. Cheers

    A work of art to be admired Boyd! Very nice! Well worth the extra effort I think. Cheers

    Your skills never cease to amaze Dennis! Nice job! Glad you made it back home OK. Cheers

    Nice job on the spigot Matt. You might have to start slipping those little critters a "Mickey" in the evening. Maybe your local Vet can help with squirrel sedatives. Cheers

    Oh yeah! You're wanting a kind of "beached" look. That will be really cool. Cheers

    I like your water-line marker there Captain. Your inventiveness knows no bounds Sir. Looks good setting on top of her future perch. I'm not sure how you'd want that base-board to be in the end Steve, but if you're wanting a smooth, and flat finish on the top, they make a product that's clear like varnish, only way thicker and dries as hard as plexi-glass. You just build up the sides about an 8th or quarter inch, like a tray, and pour it on and let it flow out to the edges until it levels itself. When I remember the name of it I'll get back to you. Use to use it on table-tops with carvings in them. Cheers

    Nice job Jay! I'm going to echo what Harvey said. Thanks for posting! Cheers

    Well that's enough grog to hold 'em for a couple days!

    Have fun Rich, and be careful when swimming with the fishes. Cheers

    Nice job Tom! Those look like they could be a little fussy to get right. Cheers

    Thanks John: Adult beverage-----Isn't that a given? Cheers

    Nice job Sjors! I agree. Once the deck furniture is all in place, those slight changes in color on the deck won't be noticeable. Normal deck weathering. Cheers

    Those barrels look fantastic Matt! Glad to see the squirrels are keeping busy and staying out of trouble. Cheers

    Hi John: Just happened upon your Morgan and she's looking mighty fine. I know it's a little late to join the party but, wouldn't mind pulling up a barrel and following along if you don't mind. Cheers

    Looking mighty fine there Jay! I've been thinking about whether or not to do sails on mine but, haven't decided yet. Cheers
  20. GLakie
    Looks like you're off to a great start Tom. Can't wait to see the finished product. Cheers

    Hi Dennis: Nice work on those railings and stanchions! Since I can see the need for using styrene in my eminent future, I was wondering who your go-to place is for plastic stock. So far, I've found Evergreen, but for shop-around purposes, could use another good option. Cheers
  22. GLakie
    Congrats Jay! Be careful with the others. Cheers
  23. GLakie
    Nice job on the barrels Matt!
  24. GLakie
    Hope it works out OK Jay. Precarious to say the least. Cheers

    Remember to exercise extreme caution when working around those bung holes! --i.e. no open flames ect.!

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.
