    Hi Bob. Thank you for the log. Your Spray is wonderful. So I found a kit and look forward to building it in the near future.

    Sherry, you are so brave! You took on the Mayflower as your first build and nailed it. Congratulations on your achievement. Your log emboldens me to consider the Billings Mayflower for my second build.

    Mario, you made this small boat into a fascinating snapshot of the Bounty's everlasting mystique. A gripping display. Please don't ever take your log down!

    Hi. You have a fascinating build there Brian. It'll make a really cool display for sure. I'd like to offer you an interesting trick that might relate to your aft windows battle ( or anything where balance or alignment is sought). A friend of mine is a sculptor, and he said that he pauses frequently to look at the piece in a large mirror. Makes everything amiss reveal itself. I used this method a lot back when I was oil painting and it saved me a lot of time! I'll do that on my Willie when I get far enough for it to be useful. Thanks a lot for your interest in my virgin build BTW!

    I'm considering this kit for my second build. You are doing great on it. Following!

    Dude, STUNNING. Looks like museum should be her final berth. I'm a newbie too, and because of you the Mayflower is definitely on my list! Following your posts with high interest. Carry on.

    Hi. Hope things are coming along well for you on the Basilone. I'm inching my way along on my Willie Bennett but love/hate it to the end! I did find the Gearing kit at a couple of places online & I'm saving up to buy one. My shipmates still have a reunion every few years, and I hope to donate my model to the committee. Well, carry on.

    Thank you for the meticulous pictures throughout your build. I'm just getting started and your log is a godsend. I'm staying in your wake!
  23. radrick21
    Wow. After this they'll have to stop using the word "junk" in the name!

    Tim, Thanks for your tips , over on my Willie log. I am so buzzed by your Basilone build! I served on her twin, the USS Rogers (DD-876) in early 70's. Looking at your log photos is such a thrill because of all the memories of this spot or that spot on the ship. I was a sonarman, and we handled the ASROC missiles as well.. I also was trigger-man on the big guns when in battle station mode. Anyways, I'm going to find that kit right away so I can get on it when the Willie is finished. What a fantastic guide your log will be! Thank you so much for every word of it. Carry on, sailor.

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.
