    As I was looking at the cabin, I decided I didn't like the brown paint I used. It looked to light so I decided to change the brown color to a darker shade. Glad I decided before got to far into the build.

    Continued work on deck fixtures.

    I started on the cabin. Taking it slow and enjoying everything coming to together.

    I skipped planking until I have enough time from work to complete without distractions. I did start with some of the deck fixtures.
  26. downeaster
    I finished with frames and installed the false deck.

    My plan is to build a static model. My focus is on working ships like trawlers and fishing boats.

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.
