    Elija, remember to take your time and when you make your templates glue them to a piece of aircraft plywood this will keep them from bending. David B

    That mock up really gives one a good idea on how the Omega is going to look. Have you ever done casting before? Have a Merry Christmas. David B

    You are doing a fabulous job Giorgio. Your model resembles the Benjamin W. Latham. Since both did the same thing they would be similar. The fun is going to be all the iron work when you start getting into the masts and rigging. How did you make the cap on the bowsprit? David B

    Patrick, your yacht is really coming along. Your using styrene really gives it a modern (fancy appearance}. But remember that styrene and bright lights do not play nice with each other. Years ago I remember a modeler brought a model of the PT109 to Manitowoc and because of the heat and light it had started melting in his car. Just keep it at normal temps and you will never have to worry about any problems. David B

    When I was still living in Chicago the local library had a book on Herreshoff and his boats, I looked for it when they had one of their sell offs but somebody got it before me. I can't wait to see the finished product. David B

    Your planking looks magnific Mark. That Poly really enhances the wood. One thing I do not understand is your pear wood. I know several modelers who swear by it and say it does not ding or mar easily. David B

    I thought I was looking at the genuine article Karl. The remaining photos blew my mind. Wonderful. MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR David B

    Richard, I do the same as Sal. I stick the tubing into a hole i made in a block of wood and take a razor saw to cut it down. to get to the final dimenstion I use either a file or sanding sticks. David B

    Toni, She is becoming a real work of art. I wish I could see it up close and take a few picks. Gorgeous. David B

    Your model is really shaping up into a real beauty Patrick looking good. David B

    I echo everyone else Piet, The colors really bring it to life. David B

    You did a fantastic job Nils. To bad you do not live near WI. I would love to see your Pegasus at Manitowoc. David B

    Looking good Clare. How would you rate this kit? For a beginner, average, or expert. David B

    Geoff, If I remember there was a discussion about rigging line and Egyptian cotton was recommended. Have you tried it out? Just thinking about making the job a little easier. David B

    Geoff, I love the way you are building your Connie. Too bad I cannot see it up close. I remember taking close ups and saving them. I do not envy you getting it to a meeting. How is the thread you are using doing with all the handling? Any kinks, fuzz or unraveling? Have a merry Christmas. David B

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.
