    Congratulations, Grant. Your models deserve to given awards since they comprise some of the most beautiful and interesting builds posted here on MSW.
  19. BobG
    Wonderful job of planking, Harry, she looks great!
  20. BobG
    Congratulations BE! The way that you decided to display your Medway is fantastic. I love it! I look forward to seeing what you decide to build next after your respite (hopefully a brief respite!).

    Good to see back building again. Regarding your sensitivity to CA glue, Bob Smith Industries makes an odorless form of CA glue called Super Gold+ Odorless that you could try that might help.
  22. BobG
    Oh gosh, Grant, I'm so sorry to hear about all this personal turmoil. I know it must be emotionally draining trying to manage all of these unexpected and sudden changes in your life. I'm glad to hear that riding your bike provides a quiet space for you and an opportunity to connect with others. So many people become isolated and withdrawn at times like this. All the best to you at this difficult time in your life, Grant.
  23. BobG
    Very nicely done, BE. I remember that step being tricky to get just right as well.
  24. BobG
    Nice job, Harry!
  25. BobG
    Not only is your model simply stunning but remarkable as well given that it was only your second model ship build. Wow! I couldn't help notice the high end stereo equipment in the photos as well....speakers, amps, turntable. I'd love to know what your set up is.
  26. BobG
    WOW! Now that's a jaw-dropping model and display! Congratulations!
  27. BobG
    That's a wonderful looking half hull model. I didn't know it even existed.
  28. BobG
    Nice job getting those notches done, BE. That was a tricky step for me as well.
  29. BobG
    Beautiful hull, Jay! Nice work.
  30. BobG
    Exceptionally fine work as always, Bug! That's a very nice looking, small lathe you used to help shape the yards. Please tell us about it.

    It's good to see you're still working on your QAB and enjoying it, Mike. I love this model and would like to build it someday but it's been unavailable on the Syren website for a long time now.

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.
