    Really nice work Kevin, everything looks rather realistic already. With everything painted one may not realize it's a model when pictured close-up. Cheers,

    Nice looking model Denis. How many projects do you have going, looks like a dozen or so Cheers,

    Interesting, a glow in the dark model. Who would have ever thunk that You gonna leave it that way or eventually paint her? Cheers,

    Thanks everyone for your concern. Gwen and I fared quite well, slept on and off through the night. No damage to the house or property. Yes, we lost power at the first stiff breeze. Power was restored two days later. No spoiled food. It also took the router power unit out so no computer and phone service, AT&T's idea of wireless all in one. Did not think about buying a new car charger for our new Galaxy 8 phones so we had to conserve battery power for possible emergency calls. One reason I couldn't call anyone. It took me two days to clear our yard of all the tree debris blown in and on top the roof blown in from neighbors properties. Still some stuff to take care of. Areas just a few miles south of us like Ormond Beach and Daytona beach had a lot more damage but some by tornadoes. So very sorry to hear about John and Diana (Texxn5). I'll try to contact you tomorrow after my semi-annual oncologist visit. I fixed our router this afternoon and have gotten my computer back and the phone and Gwen's TV, which is very important - - - to her at least Cheers,

    Beautifully done Nils. I most assuredly enjoyed the build journey along with you. Now I'm looking forward to join you in your next build. Cheers,

    Hoi Dave and Carl and who else may be listening in. It's Saturday evening at 2134 here in Palm Coast, Florida and all's well. No wind - yet and just a few showers with some sun peeking through. Gwen and i are all prepped to receive Irma and I'll be outside on deck shaking my fist at Irma like the flying Dutchman used to do Tomorrow evening will be the start of some bad weather but our house is build to current code to withstand a cat 4 head on. We just had hurricane proof windows installed to relieve Gwen's fear for breaking glass. I'll report back in shore leave when it's all over. Cheers,

  14. Piet
    WOW Carl, that's all I can say. I need an optiviser looking at those pics Cheers,

  16. Piet
    Wow Hennie, those decorations are really outstanding and the ship is nicely taking shape. Looking good my friend. Cheers,
  17. Piet
    Nice progress Kevin, glad your retry is working out better. Please, no apology required on my part. This clarifies where you are in the build. Cheers,
  18. Piet
    A belated happy birthday Denis. Many more in good health. Cheers,

    Beautiful work Hartmut. Cheers,

    You are welcome Ed, just caught up with your build. I don't comment, just watch and learn. I noticed that your ratline fastening method is also employed on the Chilean four-masted bark "Esmeralda and the US Coastguard "Eagle." Interesting but logical. Saw it and made a few pics when in Quebec City in July. Okay, I'll make one comment - beautiful work! Cheers,
  21. Piet
    Nicely done Pawel - a feast for the eye! Cheers,
  22. Piet
    What kind of soldering method are using Dave? Soft solder or "hard" solder? The latter one comes in ready to use past form, just dab some on the join(s) and heat with a mini propane or butane torch. Soft solder can work good as well. Use a pencil type "iron" set to an appropriate temp and may use a heat-sink in places. I wish I lived closer by to give a hand but with some practice you can certainly produce acceptable results. So far they look okay but knowing you, you are not happy till you got what you are after. Keep plugging at it my friend. Cheers,
  23. Piet
    Beautiful pictures Nenad. This world is filled with beauty to enjoy when given the time. Thanks for sharing some of that beauty with us. Cheers,
  24. Piet
    Nice job Craig and a great investment in that tool. I may get myself one as well. Cheers,
  25. Piet
    Glad you found my build log of Hr. Ms. O16 and thanks for your kind words. Right now I am waiting for the Hr. Ms. Java kit to arrive. Boris is having to get the PE redone so I am patiently being busy with other projects. Stay tuned though. Cheers,

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.
