    I wish my struggles were as successful as yours, Ilhan. You're doing amazing work.

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

    Thank you, Rick. That's got to be great being able to talk to folks who are truly interested in the model and modeling in general. I bet you are the star attraction.

    Tom, these frames kinda remind me of the treenails for this project. Speaking treenails......

    Super fiddly work on the skylights and they turned out beautiful, Ilhan.

    Thank you, John. Are you settled in and back working at the museum?
  7. Keith Black
    I can't believe the amount of progress you've made in such a short period of time without sacrificing work quality, Bob. Absolutely amazing!

    Thank you, Eric. Boiler deck it is!

    Thank you to everyone for your support, it is very much appreciated. Test fitting the deck frame Test fitting the deck. Because this is all so tight I need to have the frame painted and glued in before adding the deck and of course the deck will need to be painted before gluing to the frame. Port side view of the frame. Access to the deck will be off of the stairs, I will also have grab bars at the front edges of the pilothouse where a person could grab and swing around the pilothouse edge and land on the forward deck. I have no clue what to call the forward deck, storage deck, upper deck, forward deck?? This photo indicates that maybe there's too much of a rise (out of level) in the decks forward edge. I need to check that because once this all goes in it's there till the CA turns loose far into the future.......hopefully. It kinda makes me sad that little Lula has lost her car ferry appearance but then I wasn't building a car ferry. Thank you for being part of the journey. Keith

    What's that old saw, Mary?..........Good things come to those that wait.
  12. Keith Black
    Thank you for the link, Greg. This is one of those rabbit holes I could easily get lost in.
  13. Keith Black
    Greg, the way you've done the exhaust pipes looks convincing. Did Alberto run this beast long enough to burn the paint of the exhaust pipes?
  14. Keith Black
    Thank you, Mary.

    If the $8.50 shipping charge I paid helps support NRG/MSW, it's the best $8.50 I ever spent.

    The deck looks much better, Ian. 👍

    Welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
  21. Keith Black
    I'm sure it is. I quit writing in cursive many many years ago, I strictly print. Thank you, Keith.
  22. Keith Black
    And your address is? ......... no way, Paul. She's way too nice a model to be adopted out.
  23. Keith Black
    Nice case, plans for the Sharpie?
  24. Keith Black
    Paul, do you have a place where you can display this lovely beast when finished?
  25. Keith Black
    Eberhard, thank you for taking the time to question and comment. Thank you, Keith. It makes me feel good knowing Lula gives folks a reason to smile. Thank you, Peter. Thank you, Glen. Thank you, Bob. Lord willing I would think we'll see a launch date by sometime in early June. Thank you, Mark. Thank you, John. Glad to have you back home with us.

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.
