    Very carefully and then a shot afterwards to settle his nerves and trembling hands. David B

    Great work Maury, makes me wish I had bought the kit when I was in better shape. Maybe down the road so I will be watching and learning from your log. Remember enjoy yourself and have fun. David B

    Several years ago one of my fellow club members was helping out on a project for the museum and he took his finished model to the band saw and cut it down for diorama. I forget the name of the model though. David B

    Gabriel I have always been enthralled by small scales. I am going to pull up a chair and drool with amazement if that is okay with you. Good work. David B

    Getting proper symmetry on a hull is hard and best done as early as possible. One year as Manitowoc I saw a model of the Mayflower that looked good but odd. After staring at i noticed that the stern was off by at least 1/8 of an inch. This through everything off. If you can catch everything now you will not regret it. I glad that you are double checking yourself and redoing your errors. I think you will have a great model with that kind of attitude keep up the good work. David B

    Nice sails Rich. David B

    Simon, your JGOA is shaping up nicely. You are doing the right thing on double checking the hull. As for the deck i would not worry to much about the looks. The finished model is a unique vessel and the deck is crowded as well. Try scraping the deck this might help even out the color. David B

    I think the deck looks good. David B

    Laxet, I just came across your log and devoured it. The Niagara has been a build I would like to do some day. I think you are doing a fantastic job and having fun at the same time. David B

    Please bring it up to Manitowoc if you can. The contest and show are in May. I think it would thrill the judges and impress the other modelers. Plus you would be around people who understand what you are doing. Just go to the Wisconsign Maritime Museum to get the details. Plus I think you would have a ball. We have modelers come from New Jersey and as far as Colorado. Think of it as a nice road trip.David B

    Scott your model is really shaping up. Keep the good work. 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.
