    Excellent progress, Glen! Thanks for the link to those micro drill bits. Many of the bits I currently have are useless junk and I'm eager to try something else. Gary
  2. FriedClams
    An interesting project, Glen - well, all your builds are creative and interesting. Best of luck on this toasty hot new SIB. Gary
  3. FriedClams
    Catching up, Craig! And what a treat - more beautiful and skillfully executed work to admire. Wonderful build all around, every bit. Gary
  4. FriedClams
    Catching up, Marc and what great work you're doing! I particularly like the capstan. Very interesting work with the Bondo. If it does release from the mold intact, it is a process I must remember to try sometime. Gary
  5. FriedClams
    You've made a lot of progress since the last time I checked in, Rob! Everything looking fantastic. Gary
  6. FriedClams
    Congratulations on completing your wonderful model, Siggi. It is the work of a master builder. Gary
  7. FriedClams
    Nice hearing from you, Ken but not about your injury. Good to see that you're back modeling. Gary
  8. FriedClams
    Really nice progress, Phil. The rack of instrumentation looks great and nice job on the itty-bitty drawer pulls. Gary
  9. FriedClams
    Looking very smart, Keith. Gary
  10. FriedClams
    Wonderful work all around, Keith! I especially like the steam engine as well as all the other sub-atomic details you’re adding. Great stuff and yes, that Myers pump is a visual gem. Gary
  11. FriedClams
    Extremely fine work, Paul. Your model is progressing nicely with each new step so thoughtfully executed. Gary
  12. FriedClams
    So very happy to hear of this positive health news, Keith. Fantastic. And the sternwheeler is looking great. Gary
  13. FriedClams
    Very Nice work, Rob! I hope the "StoneCrusher" provides some relief. Gary
  14. FriedClams
    How have I missed this build until today? Another great subject and masterful craftsmanship at every step. Once again, Valeriy, your brass work is a tour de force and so instructive to follow. The geometry of the ventilator visors realized as a flat strip of brass (even if pieced) strikes me as rather tricky. Fantastic work! Gary
  15. FriedClams
    Such a beautiful model, JC. Excellently built and weathered with a very realistic look and authentic feel. Congratulations! Gary
  16. FriedClams
    Very nice work and progress, Phil. Gary
  17. FriedClams
    More terrific work, Paul. So that's what I can do with those leftover ceramic tiles - good idea! Gary
  18. FriedClams
    Many of us modelers (me included) use a coin to illustrate the comparative size of an object. Typically, we zoom in and the coin displays many times larger than life on our screens making it easy to forget just how small it really is. These blocks are crazy small. Such excellent work, Keith! Gary
  19. FriedClams
    Yes indeed - Ditto! Gary
  20. FriedClams
    Yes, cameras typically have a difficult time deciding color temperature under artificial lighting when the white balance is set on auto. Sometimes you can get better results setting it manually. And generally speaking, I have found slightly overexposing an image will provide truer colors. But anyway, I think your backdrop and those clouds look great. Fantastic work, Eric! Gary
  21. FriedClams
    Hey Eric. First, those are very nice images - especially #1. I love the low angle light of winter and can almost feel how crisp the air is. Secondly, I think you did a great job of representing that sky in your backdrop. If anything, I feel the clouds could be a touch whiter, but I suspect that's simply a camera white balance thing. The blue is spot on. Very nice work and an interesting log. Gary
  22. FriedClams
    Superb 3D modeling of that double winch, Phil. That's very practical and sort of a virtual rehearsal in making sure it's all going to fit together. Nice progress. Gary
  23. FriedClams
    Precise and cleanly executed work as always, Paul. Great stuff. Gary
  24. FriedClams
    Good progress, Keith and everything looking very nice! The changes to the searchlight and bell are a big improvement. Gary
  25. FriedClams
    She looks so very good, John! That last photo really made me smile - a four masted barque in the foreground with the Spirt of Australia in the background. Quite the contrast. Gary

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.
