    Bill the painting and weathering especially of the deck is remarkable!!! While I have used some of the Vallejo products, I was unaware of the Weathering paints that you used. Thanks for the tip. Best Regards, Dave

    Hi Brian: Your Smuggler Hull looks great! It looks like you got the waterline perfect with no bleed through and tearouts. I also like the color choices, they seem spot on. What references did you use for the color differentiation on the deck? It is very interesting.

    Hi JD: I'm so glad that the NRG changed its format of organization of bold logs or I might have missed your build. We have followed a similar path. I sailed on the Grace Bailey out of Camden back in the late 90's and also took the Half Hull Class at WBS in the early 2000's also with Eric Dow. I really liked your Half Hull of the Mary Day, she is a beautiful ship. I really like the use of the laser to set the waterline on your kit. I'm learning alot of terminology and process by following your log. Thank you!! Regards, Dave

    Hi Roger: I'm really looking forward to this build and the history that accompanies it. Do you know if the Noble was carrying the GN Rail as a deck load on top of the Pulp Wood Load? I have the old A.J. Fisher Lumber Hooker kit, which looks somewhat similar to the Noble. I will have to pull out the plans, and compare the two vessels. Regards, Dave

    Check out Maine Windjammer Cruises. I sailed on the Grace Bailey a number of years ago. It was an amazing experience.

    Mr. Carr retired over the winter and closed his wonderful hobby shop. I have one of his Fitz kits as well. He had a beautiful build of the kit as you entered his shop. I already miss going up to Duluth and visiting the store Dave

    Hi Patrick: I’m happy that you are well a and back in the shipyard with your Syren. I’m looking forward to following its continued construction. The copper plates are the best I’ve seen! Congratulations! Dave

    Wow Greg, you made fast work of that! The weathering is exceptional. Quite a contrast to your Emden. Dave

    Welcome aboard Mark ! Beautiful model of the Fitzgerald! It looks too big to be the Carr’s Hobby kit, did you scratch build her? Dave

    Hi RGL: In the States we refer to them as "the Greatest Generation" I think for good reason. I have never made it to the Pacific battlefields, but have stood on both Utah and Omaha Beaches in France in awe of what they did. What is your process for etching the armor belts on the hull. At first I thought they were scribed, but they looked raised in your pictures. Dave

    Jeffrey: after taking a look at the first picture in your log of the unfinished Hull to your finished ship I think you should be very very proud of your accomplishment! Great work! I look forward to your next project. Regards, Dave

    Beautiful workmanship. It looks ready to get to work Dave

    Hi RGL: I have this kit in my stash and look forward to following your build.

    Dave: she is beautiful. The display stand while may be simple (for you) really adds to the models presentation. Wonderful job! Regards, Dave

    Welcome to MSW from Dave in Minnesota. Beautiful job on your Bluenose. I’m looking forward to your Syren build!

    Hi Nic! Glad to see you back at it. Your Red Jacket is beautiful. Dave

    Hi Pat. After seeing your Sultana, I can’t wait to follow along with your Syren build. Enjoy! Dave

    Duluth would be a great host city for the conference!
  24. Red Rhino
    That's a great suggestion Chris! I really like Pegasus with the great figurehead, but something always set me back and now I know it was the dark wood. But I'm a few models away from either ships complexity at this point. Dave

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.
