A big congratulations Ed on finishing the most beautiful and well documented build of a model ship that I have ever seen, thanks for leading us through this most amazing journey - it's kept my jaw open every time I look at it. I look forward to seeing the rest of the posts and buying Vol 2 of the book to complete the series. Thanks again Ed. Ben

Hey Chris, looks really good, did you make the wheels or buy them? They look much nicer that what came in my kit in cast metal. Ben

Gotta say man, I have seen Jeff's holly and it's superb but next to the bloodwood/redheart it looks outstanding, awesome contrast. Every update you do makes me sooo jealous of your skills and insight, I want to gain your skills and insight brother. Ben

I my opinion the Syren is a great model to build if you like her!! You will never have the impetus to finish a model you don't like, but saying that there is a learning curve to everything to take into account. There are a few Syrens to look at here, Augies especially, go for it if you take a few weeks looking at the logs and your still excited. Ben

Great photo with both of them together toni, you should submit that for the MSW calender. Ben

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.
