    I'm not into this time period but that's a beautiful kit.

    Great brush work, Bob. I think both the hull and name plate turned out spiffy.
  3. Keith Black
    That's neat metal working, Gary. Great construction details and explanation.

    Thank you, Ken Other than tracking via testing is surgery a possibility or would that be dependent on how bad the leak becomes? The vascular system is something I took for granted till I had my aneurysm surgery five years ago. I've tried to educate myself to some degree but I've been somewhat reluctant as I'm not sure I wanna know how the sausage is made because so many things can go wrong, it's scary.

    Very nice, Bryan.

    Mark, I'm not doubting you've done your research. What I'm doubting is the rake angles of the fore and main. If you draw a 90 degree angle and overlay it over your model, the fore should have (according to your #112 post) 13.5 degrees from 90 degrees = 76.5 degrees from zero and the main 10 degrees from 90 degrees = 80 degrees from zero. Those are not the angles I'm seeing in the last photo of post #112, IMHO.

    Thank you, Brian. Good to see you and It's nice that you had an opportunity to stop by.

    Mark, after visiting other Lynx builds and checking the first photo of your build log it appears that you have the rake set too far astern?

    Impressive model, Phil.

    Lynn, thank you so very much for thoughts and for the kind words regarding Lula. I hope you know when I say "you guys" that you're included.

    I commercial salmon fished when we lived in Alaska. In all the narrowboat YouTube vids I've seen I've yet to see a narrowboat swap ends. I didn't much care for swapping ends on a 32 foot Bristol Bay gillnetter.

    Amazing, Roel. That looks so realistic.

    Are you into the narrowboats and canal cruising? There are a couple of YouTubers that post vids of their canal journeys that i enjoy watching. If I were to have moved to the UK I'm pretty sure I would have wound up being an owner of a narrowboat.

    MW, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    Eric, I hide my computer under my mattress.
  21. Keith Black
    LOL 🤣

    Thank you, Keith. Thank you, Craig. Tom, thank you dear brother. Thank you, Phil. Thank you, mcb. When fighting the small letters for New York I decided then and there that transfer lettering was an invention of the devil with the intent of trying a man's patience. It's hard keeping my hands off Lula.
  23. Keith Black
    Thank you, Jacques. Thank you, Bob. Your thoughts and prayers mean the world to me. Thank you, Glen. I fell in love with Lula on first sight that's for sure. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you, Eric. If I had another the years of good health I don't know if I'd be able to get my sister up to speed considering I'm still trying to get myself up to speed. There is a bit of Lady and the Tramp about them. Thank you, Chris. Thank you, Gary.
  24. Keith Black
    Good to see some progress on this project, Keith. You're well on your way to making a nice model out of this.
  25. Keith Black
    Cutting that hull in half is like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. It looks like it turned out great, Glen.

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.
