    Steven, thank you for asking. Short answer is no. After posting the above the other day I put the Amelia on the worktable and thought to myself, I need to finish this project. So, after two and a half years of neglect I'm on a mission to finish her. I've sailed into the dreaded doldrums with the Tennessee so a change maybe just the ticket. A ragging debate is going on inside my head as I consider sails or no. I feel somewhat obligated to add sails as that is the way the model was finished. The original sails are rotten so new sails would have to be made. I'm not a big fan of sails as I think they hide a lot of the modeler's work. I would like to upgrade the rigging a tad with blocks (single only) but blocks weren't original to the model so that inner debate continues. Also, eyelets were not used, lines was simply tied off around nail heads. if I add blocks I would want to add eyelets as well. I welcome all thoughts and suggestions.........please.

    Grant, I'm right there with you. I didn't discover Glen's latest till yesterday afternoon. I've got a old cowbell we need to tie around his MSW profile to help keep tabs on his activities.

    Apology? Not hardly. Like yourself, we're all scrambling to complete task/projects before winter sets in. We'll be here when you're able to get back to the Cairo.

    Amen to that, Eberhard. The jolly boat looks great, in fact at 1:160 scale it's remarkable.

    Criticism is often laced with jealousy.

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.
