Beautiful model. I am always so impressed with the level of detail that is possible to obtain in card models. I might just have to try one sometime.

Thanks very much, Paul. The Medway was a big step up for me. I'm afraid I've become an armchair modeler simply following quite a few other builders' logs. I have too many passions and I've been immersed in guitar and cycling lately. I'll be back in the shipyard at some point soon I hope. I do miss it.

I just got caught up on your build log, Glenn, and WOW...just plain WOW!! 😳 I'm not sure there's much more praise to offer that others haven't already given, but I will say that your build log is the best and most informative log I've had the pleasure to follow on this forum. It's a treasure trove of detailed techniques with outstanding photos as well. I think I can safely shelve most of my ship modeling books now and simply refer to your log when I need advice! Congratulations on the completion of this stunning model and many thanks for taking the time to document your build in such detail. I'll be the first in line for the show when you start building the Flirt. I have it on the shelf and, when I start to build her, I'll just follow along in your wake! Cheers!

Wonderful model! I'm an avid cyclist and I'd love to build a high quality bicycle model if there are any out there anymore. -
I just found your build log and you are doing a wonderful job so far on this beautiful and interesting model. Have you been able to make any more progress?

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.
