    Great to see an update Mobbsie! Both the planking and the coppering look to be up to your usual first class standard.

    Oooh! Very, very nice Ben!

    WOW! ......... just, WOW!

    That’s what known as a “first world problem” Chuck.......

    Nice recovery Danny. Some great tips in this build log - as we’ve come to expect from you!

    Thanks very much Ken.

    Fantastic work Danny. You really do seem to have mastered this new medium.

    Thanks very much Carl, Popeye, Danny and CDW. Danny - funny you should mention that...................I was just discussing that exact idea with Mobbsie on Skype the other night. It’s do-able but I don’t think I’ll bother..........yet..........

    Can't believe it's been over two months since I received the new prop and batteries!Anyway, they were installed some time ago now, but it wasn't until yesterday that I finally got the chance to take her for her second round of sea trials.Good news - all mods worked as expected. She does indeed now go like a scalded cat - gets up onto the plane very nicely. The client was most satisfied with the sea trials and has accepted final delivery! I took a couple of videos while the 'client' was driving. Just try and get the controls out of her hands now - something about prizing them loose from her cold, dead hands comes to mind......Hope you enjoy the videos as much as we did making them.

    Stunning work Ben, as always.

    Nicely done again Daria. Can’t wait to see the deck planked.
  13. gjdale
    Well done Daria! I can see that Dad will have to start locking up his tools very soon!!!!

    Great start to what will be another excellent build to follow, B.E. I’ve pulled up a chair and popped some beer in the fridge.

    Congratulations on another very fine build Rusty. She looks beautiful and is a credit to your craftsmanship.

    Splendid work Bob, she really is looking beautiful.

    Congratulations on completing yet another excellent build B.E. Like others, I’ll be keenly awaiting your next project to follow.

    I think your hopes have been answered Ben!

    I’ll second what Bill has just said. I too tried to place an order a while back but had to wait until Mihail returned in October. I received my set last week and they are every bit as beautiful as others have said. Again, communication was via Google translate and payment via PayPal - both painless operations. Mikhail has been a thoroughly nice person to deal with as well.

    Stunning work, as always, Dan.

    Looking good Mobbsie. Don’t be concerned about the visibility of the treenails - I can just see them in the photo and at this scale you want them to be only just visible if you look closely.

    Have a look at this video by Paul Budzik (he is also a member of MSW). This and many of his other videos are really well done and explain things in a way that is easy to follow. Hope this helps.
  23. gjdale
    Wonderfully well done Bob!

    Nice to see you back Andy, but sorry to hear of your career roadblock. As John said, you will find that you have skills that are translatable to a number of different fields - you just have to decide which ones and which field. My advice, for what it’s worth, is don’t rush into anything. Give yourself plenty of time to work through what it is you want to do next. Good to see your unusual model back on the table in the meantime. We’ve missed you both.

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.
