Sam, Good to hear that you are feeling and getting better. New job is with the same company, technically. My company was bought by another company. So my new job is a little bit of a promotion, but LOTS more work right now. Should slow back down in about 6 months or so as we get into the swing of things. Look forward to seeing your progress. Cheers. Shawn

Holy cow Rich, you are making some very nice advances. I haven't touch my build in over 2 weeks. New job is kicking my butt. Keep up the great work! Shawn

Rich, Hey the Enterprise is looking fabulous! I'm buried in a new job at work and haven't touched mine in weeks. Unfortunately, I think it is going to be that way for awhile. I will try and get on here occasionally and view your progress and live vicariously through you! Cheers. Shawn

Sam, The Enterprise is looking fabulous. Glad to see you put this ship back on your bench to finish. I am lurking, still trying to find the time to rebuild my build log. I have been slowly working on mine as well, but work has been busy and spring has sprung, so I am only getting a couple of hours per week at the bench. I have the 1st planking of the hull nearly done, only 9 more strakes to go and I should finish the planking of the decks this week as well. Cheers. Shawn

Rich, Looks great! I am getting way behind you and Sam. I still haven't rebuilt my build log yet. It was very spring-like in Idaho this weekend so I was doing yard work and took the flyrod out for the first time this year as well. I am about 2/3's of the way done with the first planking of the hull and nearly done planking the deck. I am going to try and get my log built this week. Cheers. Shawn

Rich, Looking good my friend. I have been traveling for work and haven't been able to rebuild my build log yet. I should be able to get it up and running by next week. Haven't made too much progress on my build because of the travel, i am about 1/2 way thru the first planking of the hull. Question for you: I couldn't tell from the instruction manual what would stock to use on the 2nd planking? I am thinking it should be the .5MM thick Sapelly. The first planking is done with the 2mm think Sapelly.... but on page 26 it appears as though it instructs to use the 2MM Sapelly....what did you do? I'm lost. Thanks, Shawn

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.
