I just finished going through your entire build log and it's terrific! I love the colour for the hull and the red you have chosen for the accents is very nice. The Vasa is a beautiful ship and you are doing a great job on her...I will be watching from now on!

Those nettings are wonderful! Are you going to display the hammocks stowed...or at least some of them? I'm also curious to see what you come up with for the stern.

The planking is looking great! Having never dealt with ebony, I have no input but will watch and learn. My husband was looking forward to his retirement too. He's (we've) been busier now than ever - aging parents that require full time care pretty much fill up our days. So, here's wishing you a wonderful retirement filled only with the things you desire to do!

Sorry to hear you had a stint in the hospital, but glad to hear it wasn't too serious! I'll pull up a chair for the Confederacy build as well, but will watch the Syren case take shape first.

I never know what to expect when I've been away for a while and then stop by your log for a look. What do I find? Gnome infestations - possibly global, and coloured ratlines...no wonder you have chest pains! Seriously though, hope you are feeling better soon. The ratlines are looking terrific...keep up the good work!

It seems that this summer has been more busy than usual, which means the shipyard has been fairly quiet. Thought I'd include a couple of pictures of our garden bounty. The cherry tomato plants, that I'm standing behind, went a little crazy this year. I'm 5'7" and they are a couple of feet above my head! I have a small update as well: The upper portion of the second planking is complete. I've made and installed the support beams and columns for the fore deck, and the second planking is done on the lower section of the stern - not sure of the name of this part - it's the thick section below the lower gallery. I salvaged a beautiful block of cherry wood from the wood pile and have been drying it now for a couple of months. I'm thinking of using it for the deck furniture etc.......but first, the rest of the planking.

I'll try to help things along with this post. Surely we can push this to 100!

Shrouds are looking great! Wishing you all the best as you embark on a new and exciting journey. If you are fortunate enough to have even half the happiness I have enjoyed through married life...then you will be truly blessed!

Looking very, very nice Mark. The nice thing with these variations on the French ships - it gives you a choice. If there's no concrete evidence in either direction, then I think you should follow the advice I've seen you give to others - you're the captain, it's your call.

Great job on the ship's boat and railings - all these additions are really making her look good! 11 pictures in 2 days!!! Thanks!!!

Truly an exceptional build by someone I suspect is an exceptional person....if that tribute is any indication of the character of the man! Beautiful, beautiful ship...something to be very proud of!!!! Have a safe and wonderful trip and see you in the fall!

Just got back from vacation and while catching up on this log, I came to the exact same conclusion!!! Don't want to upset the balance, but a few words about the build - she's really a very lovely ship Augie. Looking forward to your decision for the next build!

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.
