    Wow Popeye! You have accomplished quite a bit in the last day or two. The rigging is looking excellent. I've had a lot of luck with bringing in slack with other rigging and stays, but sometimes it can be a real PITA for sure. I can't wait to see more!

    Augie, you need to put your ribs in the oven longer; those look too tough and chewy! LOL. Those are going to show through nicely when you have the planking put in. I'm glad to see you are moving right along.

    Those are great pictures Sjors! I am anxious to see the Mirage with all of it's rigging in place.

    It's these little details you put into your models that make your work into true masterpieces. Just like you said... most won't know the waterstops are there, but it's cool that you still take the time to put them in. Your scarf joint is already a work of art.

    Augie, no doubt on deep dark days ahead of us. That's prime time for ship modeling for me though. I'm not itching to get outside when there is snow on the ground. I have no doubt that you'll be able to produce a fantastic planking job.

    Flying a kite in a snowstorm is cold work I would think. Your Half Moon is looking great!

    Sorry about the waiting Popeye. I have to get all the work in my garage done while the weather is warm enough to do so. JP, I haven't seen you for a bit. Have you put your build on a hiatus as well?
  8. patrickmil
    Great progress Sjors! I thought your last stay looked good, but your redo is looking even better.
  9. patrickmil
    And now the chanting begins..."planking, planking, planking..." LOL. Your progress looks great Augie. Are you planning on staining the exposed frames to contrast with the planking?

    Hey Aldo, thanks for stopping by. My finger is fully healed and has been of great use in my makeshift woodshop (read as garage). When the weather turns cold in Ohio I will be heading in and restarting on the rigging.

    Popeye, I was referring to your President and Half Moon. I've been wanting to see how you're going to integrate wood decks on your plastic President.
  12. patrickmil
    I've been meaning to comment your excellent build. Your planking is outstanding. I'm waiting to see your stern though. I've got this kit on a shelf and am still not sure which direction I'd like to take it.
  13. patrickmil
    Hey Popeye, the rigging on your Gothenborg is coming right along. I'm rather anxious to see some more progress on your other builds though.
  14. patrickmil
    If you're taking votes into consideration, I say you should go for the challenge. Your other work has been outstanding and I think you have the skills to make this into another work of art.
  15. patrickmil
    Frank, you did an excellent job on your crew painting! Those figures are outstanding. They will be be a great addition to your very well done Supply.
  16. patrickmil
    Alright Sjors! I enjoy seeing the pictures of your progress. The ratlines look great.
  17. patrickmil
    It's pretty exciting to see this really picking up now. I will be using some of these tips in the future. They look to be more user-friendly than what I've done in the past.
  18. patrickmil
    Progress is coming right along Augie. I didn't realize you were a speed builder.
  19. patrickmil
    Well let's get going on your Mirage then so we can see the start of this warship. I'm hoping I'm in time for a front row seat.
  20. patrickmil
    Thank goodness nothing happened in that convenience store. Glad your back and can get on with your build. I hope you get your offer soon.
  21. patrickmil
    It's great to see some progress Augie. Those filler pieces are a great addition to add some strength. The more I see these Confederacy build logs, the more I want to build a Confederacy too.
  22. patrickmil
    This looks like it's going to be a rather large model when completed. I'm looking forward to seeing this take shape.
  23. patrickmil
    That rigging looks great Popeye. I'm looking forward to seeing more of it!
  24. patrickmil
    Those are some sweet looking upgrades. I will be ordering the cannons down the road as well. I always like the MS kits but their Britannia metal disappoints me.
  25. patrickmil
    Hey Rich, your Niagara is looking great! I hope this interview goes well 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.
