    Looks very nice for having to work in such close quarters.

    Keith, I've yet to be disappointed by anything you've made and I bet a dollar to donuts this next time won't be any different.

    The journey from sloppy wet cardboard to this is amazing. Great job, Phil.
  4. Keith Black
    This is gonna be special.

    Nice recovery, Chris, beautiful build.

    hyw,sir. You are a driven man who obviously settles for nothing short of perfection. Your tools are beautiful, the quality and quantity (clamps in particular) is amazing. Your work space is to die for, gleaming industrial functionality. But what really impresses me is your tool management. If I had that many tools, I'd be spending half my day muttering "now where did I put that" It's an honor to watch a master at work, thank you for sharing. Keith

    BB, was there a trick to removing the original mast?
  8. Keith Black
    Amazing realism from every angle. She's a peach.
  9. Keith Black
    BB, it's more of a caricature. BTW, I reached down to pet it and it followed me home.
  10. Keith Black
    I think I've located another one?

    Rob makes his sails out of paper and does an amazing job. You can go through his build log on the Great Republic, see link

    Keith, that's so cool. Did you leave a note?
  13. Keith Black
    BB, will the replacement pieces be painted/patinaed to match the model?
  14. Keith Black
    And the masts appear to not be stepped. Not trying to beat a dead horse, just saying. I respect the decision but I'd love to know the history and see photos of the MAAS model. It may have been nothing more than a cottage industry making souvenirs for tourist. My searching thus far has come up dry.

    Was the argument made to keep the model original as possible including keeping the original mast? In the final one does have to bow to the wishes of the owner/owners but.....

    Wow, wonderful work as usual, Gary. Your post made my day, happy to see your work again and happy 4th to you and yours.....

    Here are a couple off eBay that probably also need to be saved.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-30-CIRCA-1800s-HAND-CRAFTED-WOODEN-LARGE-SHIPS-MODEL-IN-ORIGINAL-PAINT/324097417586?hash=item4b75b62172:g:II4AAOSwyWheWC2S https://www.ebay.com/itm/TERRIFIC-TALL-OLD-WOOD-SHIP-MODEL-WITH-LEATHER-SAILS/133415642880?hash=item1f10312700:g:cXEAAOSw-1texKS0#shpCntId

    Fantastic, Eberhard, just fantastic!
  19. Keith Black
    If the model had been on eBay the description would have read, " Needs a good cleaning and some of the lines need to be replaced. Easy fix for someone who is handy" Thank goodness is was saved from that fate.
  20. Keith Black
    The older I get the more appealing that sounds.

    Keith, the engine telegraph is especially superb! And the second picture down, if one didn't know better........ "The lawn tractor passing away at the age of 22" How many hours were on the clock? Mine has 370 and I'm kinda wishing it would go to tractor heaven.
  22. Keith Black
    Well done!
  23. Keith Black
    FM, thank you for answering. I assume it's a solid hull? The paint though worn doesn't appear to be flaking which speaks to the love and care it's received all these years. This is an exciting adventure of research and restoration, thank you for letting us share in the adventure.
  24. Keith Black
    When was this model made?
  25. Keith Black
    Sorry, Keith, we got bored waiting for you.

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.
