    Wow, Sjors! Isn't it amazing how just a few bits and pieces really starts to make it all come together. She is looking very good!!! No Chris Craft for me, I am NOT taking a boat that costs more than I make in 6 years out on the water, with my luck I would do something wrong and sink it

    A little progress today, rudder and pintels done made the rudder steering thingy Got the pedestals made, and holes drilled into the keel. The hull is all done, now it is time for the masts and the rigging. Sorry, it will have to wait a bit. Off to Colorado in the morning for 4 days of R&R.

    Congratulations on the new job Buck, but I am sorry to hear another Kansan is moving away . But I get it, you gotta go where the work is, that is how I ended up here last year myself. Hope everything goes smoothly in the the house selling, house hunting/buying, and the move itself.

    AW Augie, don't tease Sjors like that, you might scare him off from visiting.

    Thanks for the suggestions, soaking the brass in vinegar, and then switching to acrylic paint seemed to work well. With today being a holiday the local gun shop is closed, but I will be there tomorrow to get some bluing for in the future. At least with the longboat there are only a few tiny parts to worry about painting. However, I am sure I will want to blacken rather than paint the brass for the Syren.

    HEY!!! Where are the latest pictures?????? hmmmmm

    Spent the afternoon creating the windlass and handles, I think they will work. Have a question, the instructions say to paint the rings, and eyebolts black. The waterbased (ME) paint I have is NOT sticking to the brass and I do not have access to anything like blacken it. Is there something I can do to treat the brass first so the paint sticks? Windlass handles windlass and handles installed, as are the oar locks close up of the windlass

    Mick, my best advice is that you just pack it up when it arrives and forward the kit onto me, and I will take care of it for you I absolutely fell in love with that kit about a month ago, I have it on my MUST DO list as soon as I can afford her. She is a beautiful build for sure.

    Thanks to everyone for the kind comments and encouragement! Remember, if it looks like crap, then tell me!!!! Tom, I understand the whole priority thing believe me, most of mine center on keeping a mortgage paid for on a house I don't live in....hopefully it will sell very soon now that it is on the market!!! Then I can switch my priorities to my shop and all the tools that will fill it Small update, finished the seats and tool box, complete with faux hinges per Chuck's instructions. I think it works ok. working today on all the knees, got them shaped last night, trying to get them painted now. so hopefully more pics to follow

  21. Shazmira

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.
