    Thanks for your review, Mike. I'm looking forward to using mine.

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

    Really coming along nicely, Tom. Great work!

    Your model just keeps getting better, Bob!

    That's a very cool little boat, Mike! I love models of boats we rarely see. Looking forward to following your build.

    Great job, Mike, on one of my favorite ships of all-time! I'm looking forward to seeing what you decide to build next too.

    The Swan diorama is fantastic, Ron! The wave action and the billowing sails really bring the model to life. I can't wait to see the Sphinx underway in heavy seas as well. I hope you will thoroughly document the process of making the diorama in your build log. It would be fascinating to see how you do it.

    Beautiful work on this fascinating boat, Paul!

    I built the Syren Medway Longboat and it had pre-spiled planks. I'm sure it made the planking easier but it certainly still had its challenges for me. I learned a lot from just being able to see what properly shaped planks look like to begin with. I'm sure I would not have been as pleased with the outcome of the planking if the planks had not been pre-spiled so I'm happy that Chuck decided to do that on that kit. The learning curve for good planking has been steep for me and I'm still do not feel all that confident about it but it's coming along little by little. However, fairing the hull correctly is something that I still feel highly uncertain about. Now if the bulkheads only came pre-faired...that would be something! 😂

    I just found your build of this interesting model and will follow along too. Good luck, Paul!

    What have been the most challenging steps in this build, Paul? Getting the frames seated properly looks like it would be difficult. I've read that the Billings Boats instructions are generally quite sparse too.

    I'm so happy that I just found your build, Paul, as this is a model that I have admired for several years now. I loves the lines of this boat and the clinker planking is wonderful. Your work, as usual, is meticulous, precise and gorgeous. There's no doubt that your model will set a high standard for the rest of us who may attempt to build it someday. I look forward to following along.

    What a beauty, Bob!

    She's really looking good, Harry. Great work on all the tiny details!

    Beautiful model, Mario! Congratulations!

    The ship-in-a-bottle construction method is fascinating. Thanks for explaining it, Grant. Looking forward to it. 👍 BTW, have you been putting some miles on that new, beautiful Trek bike?
  18. BobG
    I just found your log for this interesting build, Grant, and it's a tiny beauty! I love your eclectic modeling interests and always look forward to what you may select to build next. One question: What holds the masts and sails in place once you pull them up with a string and how do you get the string off once you've got the masts in the proper position?

    Stunning model, BE! Fantastic workmanship!
  20. BobG
    Beautiful model! Nice work!
  21. BobG
    Wow, Bob, what a beautiful model!
  22. BobG
    Beautiful work, Pete!

    I don't understand the "secret," Glenn. Help please?
  24. BobG
    Simply a work of art, Glenn! I can't think of a more appropriate way to describe it...

    Hang in there, Bob! The older we get the harder these viruses are on us. I'm vaccinated and double boosted, as are my in-laws, and they still came down with it. Keep an eye on that fever and don't hesitate to seek further care if it gets too high.

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.
