Sorry rusty for posting stuff on your log. Yves - Chuck is an extremely busy guy, he runs and looks after this site god bless him, he always goes out of his way to help anyone, we can ask and expect NO more from him!!! If HE chooses to do above and beyond, which he usually does, then great. But he is not a manufacturer! He maybe covers his costs but I doubt that as well. Please respect the work that he does designing the best kits on the market IMHO. Chuck - thank you, your a steely eyed missile man. Ben- 149 replies

Hi, I will take some pics of the other castings and post them, If I remember right they were not as bad as the figurehead ( absolute crap ), but nowhere near as nice as the resin ones that Chuck did - wish he would make some more ( pretty please ) . ben- 149 replies

Hi Floyd, Let me see this weekend if I can find the old external HDD that has all the photos of my previous builds, If I can find it I will post some pics on the forum, maybe in the gallery of them all. AL Swift, AL Scottish Maid, AL Harvey, AL San Juan Nempo. I do remember that I stayed pretty much with the plans though and hardly did any bashing to Harvey. ben

Hi, I will also follow your longboat build, I stop and start on mine every now and then when I get time, I have just stepped the mast and bowsprit, rigging next :-). You can find my log as well as a couple if others on the site. Make sure to look at Chucks. Ben

Hey Rusty, I seem to remember from 1.0 that you did your internal planking before adding the stern pieces, did you have a reason for doing it this way?? I'm at that point right now so I would like to know. Ben- 149 replies

Damn Remco, how the hell do you make such beautiful blocks, it's insane what you are capable of. One day in the far future I would love to be able to even scratch the surface of what you achieve every day. Ben

Jim, your a lucky man being able to attend the workshop, it's high on my bucket list but just can't get away from work at the moment. Enjoy it, take lots of pics and give us unlucky ones a treat by telling us all about it on your log. Ben -
Hey Toni, I just wanted to add a big thanks for you rebuilding your log in such a detailed and complete way, it's a joy to read it all again. Ben

All I can say Ed is that your build is one of the most unbelievable works of art that I have ever seen, I shall order vol2 of the book as soon as I can. Ben

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.
