    John, Do you have the complete instructions for this? I ask because I too have built this Orrery and had no difficulty with getting things to go together correctly. If you do not have them, I can send you a PDF copy of them.

    Very nicely done John. You can be justifiably proud of a fine model.

    Happy Birthday Andrew! More meticulous work I see - looking fabulous.

    Sorry to hear of your back pain issues Nenad, but glad to see you back posting again. Hope your health continues to improve.

    Hello Jay and welcome to MSW. You’ll find a strong contingent of us Aussies here. You’ve joined a very friendly and supportive forum too. There are plenty of build logs for your Cutty Sark here, so a wealth of information from those who have trodden your particular path before. Please do start your own build log too - you will find it the most valuable tool in your toolbox.

    Very nice work so far Andrew. Thanks for taking the time to provide so much detail in how you have approached the build - I’m sure it will be helpful to many, me included as I have this kit in my stash. I’ll continue to follow your build with interest.

    Great progress Bill - planking so far looks really good.

    Very nice work Ryland. I must get back to mine soon, having had a month away doing other projects.

    Neat solution Chris. 👍

    What else would you expect at a Speedway, Glenn? 🤣🤣🤣
  11. gjdale
    That is some really beautiful joinery there Dave!
  12. gjdale
    I’ll pull up a chair for this one too Bill. The Chris Craft boats truly are things of beauty and watching your scratch build looks to be a fascinating journey. Have you considered making this a “working” model (ie by adding RC to it)?

    Very nice joinery Dave!

    Looking really nice Glenn!

    Looking good Chris - nice to see her right way up again!

    So sorry to hear your sad news Doris. As others have said, you have made a beautiful model that your husband would have been proud to see you complete.

    So nice to see you back working on your lovely model Daria. The time lapse video was a good idea too - now we can see that you really are doing all the hard bits and just leaving Dad to do the easy bits!

    Hi Dib01, You are in luck! I just happen to have scanned the instructions when I was building the kit as I didn’t want to work from the originals. If you send me a Private Message (PM) with your email address, I’ll send you a PDF copy of them. I do also still have a spare copy of the lithograph (which you will need for constructing the wings). I’d have to post that one via snail mail, but I’m sure we could work that out too.

    Great work Sea Hoss. She’s looking more lovely with every update.
  20. gjdale
    Great, simple solution Dave. What’s that old saying about the best solutions are often the simplest?
  21. gjdale
    Nice work on the planking.
  22. gjdale
    Congratulations on yet another fine build B.E. Your meticulous attention to detail really raises the bar for the rest of us.

    Thanks very much for the kind comments guys. And yes Chuck, I have enjoyed this kit very much - it’s such a pleasure to work with a kit that has been so thoroughly well thought out and with such clear instructions on HOW to go about things while still allowing some room for individual preference. I still think my planking could have been a lot better, but that is on me and I’m sure I’ll take those lessons on to the next build. And Rusty, I’m sure Glenn did a fine job too....😉😎😁...

    Nice to see you back at the bench Mike. Love your home made drill too!

    Good to see another Medway Longboat on the blocks. Take your time and enjoy the build - this is a really well designed kit but it does offer a few challenges along the way. You’re off to a great start.

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.
