G'day Nils Bloody brilliant again! Are there going to be a roof over the 'flying' bridge? Ditto all the comments now and after this. Havagooday mate Greg P.S just looked through some previous pages and I saw the model showing the Y stands and the roof is only on the ends. My bad! Greg

G'day Nils Everyone has said it before...... bloody mind boggling mate. The first photo could have been taken from the real ship, buts it's colour, not back and white! It looks so real. Cog says the size is so small to get all the details, I havta agree with him. Very impressive. Havagooday Greg

G'day Mark Looks good for a ex Lazer cut version without cleaning. One question though, are you going to have the carriages raw timber or painted? If raw, the knots may be a problem! Havagooday my friend Greg

G'day Dave Love the photo of the whole ship showing all the masks. I put a straight edge for the stays and they are perfectly straight. Bloody well done. I'm also glad you took the advice regarding the true height of the mizzen mask from the report that I sent you. To me it looks heaps better than the replica in Sydney. Good luck and I doubt that you need it, on the rest of the rigging. Are you going to show the sails- full sail of folded up as at on the docks? Havagoodone mate Greg

So am I Mark! It seems to me that the people in MSW are more like family rather than fellow members. Family members all over the globe. Havagooday to all Greg

G'day Marsalv I must be hallucinating when I was looking at this incredible fabrication of the ship's stove. The amount of fine details and craftsmanship is impossible to believe, but here it is, in front of me. My admiral was also dumb founded when I showed it to her. Bloody brilliant mate! havagooday mate Greg

G'day Patrick Bloody incredible work mate. I would assume that you are using a mask- to stop your normal breathing to blow over those pins head size chairs! What a tedious job! That last photo with your hugh thumb says it all. Oh don't forget to put some mags on the coffee tables, along with champaign classes and a bottle of bubbly, when you do the cushions. Outstanding work mate. havagooday tomorrow 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.
