    Gland to hear you're on the mend, Mark, and I look forward to you returning to your shipyard and your fine build.

    Beautiful ensign, Ron! What exactly is copier paper...just regular weight, white paper for a printer?

    I love these magnificent, racing sailboats, David. They have such elegant lines. I'll be following along on your build. Good luck!

    I think that using cyanoacrylate glue is for the planking is just fine especially since you'll be painting the hull which will cover up any stains. You have to be much more methodic and careful when you use it for planking a hull that will be not be painted. I like to use medium viscosity for planking by applying just a small dot of glue to a few bulkhead at a time while laying down a plank starting from the bow and working carefully towards the stern. I shape the plank until it lays down quite naturally along the bulkheads and fits tight against the previous plank before beginning to glue it down. Be sure to have some cyanoacrylate Uncure on hand to unstick your fingers!

    I can't wait to see how you make the diorama, Ron...exciting!

    I'm sorry to hear that you need heart surgery, Bob, but once you get that ticker fixed, you'll be in good shape for the long run. Wishing you the best for a swift recovery and looking forward to your next build post in the near future.

    Really nice start on the planking, Ed. I like how you used colored tape on each bulkhead when laying out the tick marks.

    Your Latham looks great, Bill! I look forward to following your Endurance build too. Great choice of models!

    Congratulations, BE! Your Sphinx is stunning and your build log has been a pleasure to follow. I'm sure all of us who follow your builds will be anxiously waiting to see what you choose next.

    It doesn't get much better than this, Chuck. Truly a work of art!

    It's a big project, Harry, but you're making nice progress!

    Fantastic model and display, BE!

    I'm following along with great interest, Grant. Your build logs are among the best on the MSW forum and I'm sure I'll learn a lot. This should be quite a bit of fun! Good luck!

    Stunning work, Glenn!

    I'm doing fine but, unfortunately, my shipyard is still closed. Most of my time this spring and summer has been spent playing my guitar, cycling, gardening and a host of other things household and family things. Currently, my wife and I are planning a 5-6 week road trip to Oregon, Washington and Vancouver Island in late September to late October. We're avid hikers so our trip will be focused primarily on visiting wilderness areas like Mt Hood, the Columbia River Gorge, Mt Rainier, the Olympic Peninsula, southern Vancouver Island and the Oregon coast. Climate change is wreaking havoc on all of the beautiful wilderness areas out west so we feel an urgency to visit them before they're forever changed. We aren't getting any younger also. I'll be 76 next month and my wife just turned 74. We are fortunate to be in good health and still able to go on fairly challenging hikes together but we know the clock is ticking so we need to do things like this while we still can. Thanks for checking in, Tim, (it is Tim isn't it?) 🤔

    That's a beautiful looking machine! I'd love to see a video of it in action.

    This is one of the most interesting build logs I've ever read, Ron. I can't wait to watch you make the diorama. I say go for the dramatic and put her in stormy seas!
  22. BobG
    Great build log, Tom. The attention to detail that you are explaining will be of great assistance to anyone who builds this interesting model in the future.
  23. BobG
    Very nice work on this interesting model, Andy. I like these small boats also. I'll be following along. Good luck!
  24. BobG
    Thanks for your review, Mike. I'm looking forward to using mine.

    This is an outstanding sail making tutorial. Thanks, Ron!

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.
