    She's looking gorgeous, Yves!

    You've built two beautiful models, closehaul, congratulations! I'm surprised at how much larger the Atlantic is compared to the America.

    Wonderful to see you back in your shipyard, Bob!

    I use Titebond Thick & Quick a lot since it grabs and sets up quicker but not too quick and it doesn't run down vertical surfaces. https://www.amazon.com/Titebond-Quick-Thick-Multi-Surface-2-Pack/dp/B00JEKF1AQ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2U86Y7Z14YJZI&keywords=titebond+thick+and+quick+glue&qid=1656446419&sprefix=titebond+thick%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-4

    BTW, IDK is an acronym for "I don't know." FWIW, all these acronyms are a PITA at times but YMMV! LOL! 🤣 Great work and a wonderful build log, BTW.

    Honestly, I don't think that planking can get any better than this, Glenn! Wow!

    Magnificent model, Reci! The weathering is wonderful too. Congratulations!

    Beautiful work, Theodosius!

    Unfortunately not, Don, I'm sorry to say. I've just been immersed in cycling, gardening and guitar lately. I'm sure the motivation to get back into will return at some point.

    Simply gorgeous, Don!

    I'm so sorry that you have been struggling with some health issues, Bob, but I'm glad to hear that you are now ready to tackle the next chapter of your beautiful Winnie build. A lot of us here on the MSW forum are getting up there in our years and health issues can certainly take the shine off the "golden years" when they occur. I wish you a swift recovery and I look forward to continue following your build log in the weeks ahead.

    That's some very nice work on those shrouds, Tom. Well done!
  13. BobG
    Great review, Johnny! I hope you will be doing a build log for this wonderful model.

    Phil has assembled a treasure trove of information about rigging in his topic. It's outstanding!
  15. BobG
    I've been reading over this topic again and I can't tell how helpful it is to me. Thank you so much for all the time and energy you have put into these detailed rigging explanations. Simply outstanding and one of the most thorough and useful information sources on rigging that I have ever read on this forum.
  16. BobG
    Nice job! Thanks for all the photos of the topsail. They are very helpful to me in understanding topsail rigging.

    Those are some wonderful models, BE! I do not look forward to cleaning my uncased models either. They're dust magnets but I prefer to display them without being in a case.
  18. BobG
    Truly exceptional work, David. All of your models look fantastic! Can't wait to follow your next build.
  19. BobG
    Beautiful work, Don. She's going to be a real showpiece.
  20. BobG
    Very nice work, Ilia! She looks great!
  21. BobG
    Well, Glenn, your eyes must be much better than mine. I can't imagine that it could look any better than that. You're setting the bar very high!
  22. BobG
    Beautiful, Pete!
  23. BobG
    You have some fine looking models, Glenn!
  24. BobG
    Oh man, a garage with lots of workspace and portable work benches plus a great room for modeling and other hobbies... I'm green with envy! 🤢
  25. BobG
    She's gorgeous, BE! Fantastic work!

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.
