    Tony - Hope the day is fantastic!

    Wow, Adam - just getting caught up on logs and I gotta say this Mayflower is looking wicked sharp!

    Carry on, Popeye - she is looking nice! No doubts from me whether you can work your way through the challenges - with or without socks. From one Swamp Yankee to annudder - HAVE FUN!!!

    Very nice re-do, Commodore! The shrouds hang nice and straight now, and the ratlines look realistic - not perfectly tight but just the right amount of sag. Please congratulate the gnomes - they done good! Frank should be happy now - plenty of pictures the past few days!

    Looks good, Andy. As a side observation, building the masts this way is similar to the method used on 1:1 version.
  6. trippwj
    Ratlines would generally be 13 to 15 inches (33 to 38 cm) apart so at 1:75 scale .5 cm would be a good measure.

    Good to see this one back active again - great job on the shrouds! Unlike others who shall not be named, I refuse to say anything about ratlines!!! (Ooops, I said it...)

    Thanks, Jim. I just took a brief tour - she's a beauty!

    You spend a boring New Years eve, Andy. But will we reach 100 before Augie catches a fish?
  10. trippwj
    Enjoy the fishing! I might just be done with the drive to Maine when you get back!

    Great start - glad he is enjoying it!

    Very nice work. I like the rails on the cabin roof.

    Just finished loading the truck. A quick cleaning and I will be on the road again.

    That hull came out very nice - where can one see this mysterious stagecoach???
  16. trippwj
    Lb - no, we are here. If we were there it wouldn't be there it would be here. Works on my 6 year old g-daughter!!

    Thanks for clarifying that, Adam. For a moment I thougjt Kevin's wabbits had hijacked his computer!

    Welcome back, Mike! Look forward to your Endeavor's return!
  19. trippwj
    Welcome, Martin - will pull up a seat in the front here and learn as you go! Maybe Sjors will bring some popcorn with him.

    Hmm...do marmots drink beer while snacking on rigging spiders? Your Syren really did turn out a beauty, Augie. You can be quite proud of the result!
  21. trippwj
    Yep!
  22. trippwj
    Nice job, Robbyn. Best wishes on your imminent nuptials!!!!
  23. trippwj
    You continue to amaze me, Paul! Fantastic detailing and realism! Congratulations on the adoption!
  24. trippwj
    Your Goth is progressing nicely, Popeye. Strange place here...Sjors reserves you a rocking chair, we digress to flip-flops, Sherry suggest you need the commode and then Adam brought in thongs. I get so confused!

    Anyone else notice that Andy seems to be the first post on each new page (94 and counting)?

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.
