    Well I was always somewhat dissappointed  with the solution offered by Tippecanoe for the hatch cover. I have been using tape for years.

     

    I'm a little nervous about launching the boat into the lake. They threw away all the old junk kayaks I used to use to rescue a boat. Now I would have to throw on a lifejacket and swim out for a rescue/retrieval. 😬

     

    Yours looks real nice.

    Hi Mike - Thank you. I had the case made at a local plastics shop in Houston. The top box is pretty standard but the pedestal is kind of an add on. They consider it a second box so it almost doubles the cost. It does add something to the look.

     

    As I mentioned in my build thread, it was nice being able to walk in and order exactly the size and details I wanted. If you're considering a case, Google or check the Yellow Pages for a place in your area.

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.
