    I am envious of the work you have done on this little SPERWER. The display case will surely protect your work for many generations to come. I like the use of LED's which allow viewers to see all of the tiny details. Kudos to you and thanks for sharing the build with us.

    Bravo! Ever the perfectionist. Were you able to make any progress on your next build while away?

    Excellent work as expected each time you add to your log. Nearing the end of your Kathryn build! Recall that I have a large sheet of Perspex/Plexiglass you should look at when you get around to building the display case... or might you be thinking to use glass? I'll bring you my jib sail so you can see how I fashioned the shackles and stitched them to the sail. Use of grommets at this scale would be difficult to say the least. Best regards, Peter

    Very pleased to see that you have passed through the most difficult part of your recent event and good to see you back to work on Kathryn. I note that you have not pencil lined the sail to represent seamed cloth panels. Possibly the sail was not made up from seamed panels??? You have also shortened the height of the sail, (with fewer hoops) so that the furled and tied appearance will be visually to scale. Your wire shrouds and stays, using Surfstrand fishing leaders add realistic detail to your Kathryn. All around superb work.

    Looking forward to better things for your family and ours during 2019. Peace be with you in the New Year Peter and Joanne

    Five star ***** rating on all of your metal work and looking forward to the upcoming items you listed. So far you haven't mentioned the great conundrum represented by the two dredge baskets. I know that it will be another challenge which you will master. Meanwhile, this watch-bird will be watching you. Peter

    Maybe the attached refined photos will help you to visualize the ratline details

    Frank, Your completed hull is tres elegant! I have been fortunate to see your work close up, while learning many new things about modeling. Looking forward to seeing Kathryn finished and hoping you may consider making a set of sails for her. It would not be that much extra work and would really bring her to life. Peter

    Sterling detail on your wheel construction. Curious (as usual) to know how long it took you to build it? Peter
  27. PETERPETER
    I was certain you would come up with a working solution for turnbuckles.
  28. PETERPETER
    Something like this ?

    Your entire builders log is a treasure trove of information for each and every model shipwright. Always looking forward to seeing your continuing progress on this magnificent model. PeterPeter

    Excellent work on the yawl boat. Resistance soldering is the absolute best way to go when assembling tiny parts. Solder goes where you want it and accuracy is maintained by fixing parts position before applying the heat. Have a great trip. Peter

    G'day Frank. Stellar work as always. You appear to have all of the skills, equipment, materials and knowledge required to build museum quality models. Hoping to see your forthcoming rigging and sail work after all carpentry is completed. Peter

    Your centerboard pivot nut and bolt look very realistic, Have to bring to our next meeting a set of very tiny taps and dies, with which you can make real miniature bolts. Knowing the treasures you have stored in your shop, you probably already have these tools. Peter

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.
