That's right, I've got a saying: "it's Kellogg's" -not too heavy, not too light - just right. FYI it's from a TV commercial for a breakfast cereal called JUST RIGHT and it's slogan was not too heavy etc. Your AG is perfect, but I'm going to miss your logs, that's all Cheers Greg

G'day Denis Congratulations on a job "almost done." Sorry to say mate but you have to do "that" "this" and "the other thing". Anything to keep this incredible log going. What a job and what a log. Thank you a million wouldn't be enough. Havagooday Greg

G'day Denis The life preservers looks great. Just a thought though: "Don't they normally put the ships name on them?" Just kidding mate! Haveagreatone Greg

G'day Dave The hinges looks great! Keep up the good work and more updates please. Havagooday Greg

G'day Denis I agree about the rope around the life preserver, its looks so fake. Love the tiny hooks you made, I've have to look twice to see them, they are so tiny! There's must be something else you can add to keep your AG log going! I'm going to miss your updates. Greg

G'day Denis There are no words that I can say how great your AG is! The fuel drums are amazing in every details, but, there is one or two things that are missing. I'm sorry to point it out to you, but here it goes: you may need to make a hand pump and hose that will go on one of the drums. And maybe a fuel gauge measuring stick to be pedantic. Just a thought though. Again the whole build is out of this world. Cheers Greg I went to edit and I deleted the post. Silly me! Lol

Hi Dave Your work bench looks like mine after a tidy up! You can't see my bench sometimes. You must be a neat worker. Love your hinges! What are the size of it? Difficult to judges by the photo. Havagooday mate Greg

G'day Vince I did something similar on the airport on my HMS ENDEAVOUR. What I found that helped me a lot was to put some double sided tape on the tool to just hold the piece of wood, but make sure the tape is only slightly sticky that will hold the material that your are glueing in the gun ports. When the glue is just holding you can move the tool away. I found that balsa glue was the best to glue the piece on because it was quick drying. Hope this helps you. Cheers Greg

G'day Denis The buoys looks great! I'm not going to say "there isn't more things you can do on this boat" for 2 reasons:1, I don't want you to stop, and 2, I can't think of anything else that you can do. I'm sure and hoping you have more incredible ideas that can make this log goes longer. Cheers Greg

G'day Danny Another beautiful piece of work, I and everyone has said everything we can about this build, but it's still not enough. Well done mate!!! Greg

G'day Denis I've just had a thought, maybe, just maybe AG might be the last fishing boat to have a log here. You have set a very high standard of both workmanship and details, no one else would like to enter into your realm. Goodonyamate. Greg

I think you are safe Mark. The postmen's slogan is "through rain, hail or sleet, will never stop the postmen to do his duties". It doesn't say anything from interruption from model builders. Havagooday Greg

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.
