    Your Druid is really coming along Mark. You must bring to Manitowoc next year. We always get modelers from MI every year and they all have a good time. You would really give a big WOW factor to the show. David B

    Unfortunately I was preoccupied with being at the University of Iowa and the kind people at the Hope Lodge so I did not have much energy to get much done. But I am now back. I finally started on the bow. The crane, anchor and chain. Since I am working with just the stock itself I did the best I could. Though this would have been easier with other material. I cut out the sheet and glued it up This time around I soaked the pieces in CA in order to reinforce them. And once cut out I used a marker to touch up the color. Note to self always keep a pack of markers handy. By using CA I was able to make everything piable enought to glue to the hull. For this I used white Elmers. So far so good. David B

    Great looking deck Popeye. I see that you follow a rule I always like. When caulking a deck try to make it subdued so that it does not stand out and detract from the beauty of the planking and the wood used. David B

    It was the bilge area I was talking about. Herreschoft hulls were nice but you had to be very good at your craft to build them. David B
  24. dgbot
    I am still surprised at the patience you have. Nice work. David B

    Your hull looks great. It has that unique look that I like. I still think planking that hull must have been trouble. David B

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.
