Hello from a newbie with L plates on!
Keith Black replied to Pirategirl's topic in New member Introductions

Steve, nice work on your model. Welcome to MSW.

Keith, is that the cowl for the head? Your work is beautiful as always and aren't women amazing creatures. Their ability with thread, yarn, spinning, weaving, and quilt making trips my noodle. God certainly knew what he was doing when He created them as our helpmates. I know I would be cast adrift if it were not for my wife. Your wife is doing lovely work on the netting.......hired help indeed, lucky if you get supper.

Brian, I remember changing the rod bearings in my 46 Chevy pickup out on the curb in Arlington when it was 11 degrees. We drove down from Washington State to visit my folks. I also remember another time driving on two inches of ice coming back from a business trip to Louisiana. Texas winter weather can turn deadly when the Polar Express drops down through Amarillo. Plus you can get a tornado or two in the Spring and 115 degree heat in the summer..........now I remember why I left Texas!

Michael, my heart goes out to you and Judy. I'm deeply saddened for your loss of Tyra, I still mourn the loss of Amelia who passed away this past August.

Gary, thank you for your kind words. A thank you to all for the likes. Keith, it's the Pilot ladder used by the Harbor Pilot to clamber aboard. Of all the Pilot ladders I've seen in photos, they're all at the stern starboard side. I don't know if it's a written or unwritten rule that's where the Pilot ladder is/was stationed but it makes sense in that, the Pilot boat would know exactly where to find the Pilot ladder even in the dark of night. In the first photo , the Pilot ladder can faintly be seen and in the second photo, just aft of the rudder, the Pilot ladder is barely visible.

Gary, you forgot the most important items to bring along.......a brown bag lunch and a thermos of hot coffee! I've got an 8ft aluminum flat bottom boat and like you, I enjoyed finding remote areas in which to row, drift, and dream. Chris, I'm sure you're going to enjoy every second you're on the water in your beautiful canoe.

Sigge, it's a lot of steps to get to the finished hinge but they come out looking great. True dedication.

I pray your father in law gets well soon and that your health returns to normal. Get well, we'll patiently wait for project updates.

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.
