    Thank you, LJP. A lot of what I learned from your builds went into this little project.

    Eric, thank you for the kind words and for putting my mind at ease regarding the material coloration.

    Thank you very much, John. Now that this project is finished I get to sit back awhile and enjoy your Klondike build.

    Thank you very much, Craig. It was a fun project made so with the help of you and everyone else involved in this journey.

    Thank you, John. I'm glad you enjoyed following along. I like off the beaten path subjects, hopefully I'm able to accurately portray a frozen moment in time. .

    More little treasures, Ilhan. Beautiful work as always,
  12. Keith Black
    You had greater success with your material coloration issue than I did, Eric. Great looking road surface in both color and texture.
  13. Keith Black
    Man, that turned out super nice, John. It's going to look fabulous once the buckets are attached.

    To all of you who have supported me during this build with your comments and likes, thank you. I have enjoyed each of you being part of the journey. TA DA! Tis done. I fought trying to get the color of the dredge material to what I thought it should look like. Eric, you know the Susquehanna better than most, I hope I'm close because it's too late now. It's crazy in that the colors change depending on the light, in fact you see evidence of that in the photos, one to another. I tried making the material at the ends and outside of the side wall look like drying sand while keeping the center of the load looking wetter. I made the barge floating lower due to load and the fact that it's a soggy ole barge, And so this journey ends, I hope you were able to find a smile along the way. Keith ps. I mentioned displaying Lula and the pile driver with the Susquehanna River sternwheeler and barge. Here are a couple of photos showing my thoughts. on that. Note the color of the material in these two photos.

    Congratulations on completing the Oryol, Phil. She turned out looking amazing.

    News and photos at six! Ken, thank you for sharing. Thank you for posting, Julie.

    Eberhard, there is a ladder that leads up to the cold box between between the pilothouse and the stack. I think the distance between the PH and the stack is greater than it appears because of the image angle.
  19. Keith Black
    Ken, I think the legs would be too wobbly (1) and short on head room (3) plus the pilothouse its self is three decks high. Eberhard, awfully small for a water tank and the spindly legs wouldn't support a lot of weight. Pat, I think you're spot on. I believe it's a cool safe, cold safe, cold box, food box, or whatever you want to call that item. I've always referred to them as a cold box and will do so henceforth. Ken, Eberhard, and Pat, thank you so very much for posting. The reasons why I think this is a cold box... Item 1. Thin legs that support the cold box elevated off the pilothouse roof for air circulation. Item 2. I think that is a latch. Item 3. Appears to be a nozzle. I think this is for occasionally spraying water into the cold box to help keep food items cool. Item 4. Water pipe leading to the item 3 nozzle coming from the boiler deck, the same deck the galley is located on. The cook would have been the one in charge of controlling when and how much water was applied to the cold box.

    The planking looks great, Jacques. 👍
  21. Keith Black
    Congratulations on getting the Revenge into the bottle, Glen. She's a real corker that one, fantastic execution. 👍
  22. Keith Black
    Good on you, Steve.

    Rinekar, welcome to MSW. All the best building the Adder, glad to have you aboard.

    Great post, Paul. The base looks terrific, nice snag. And the planking is looking fantastic. What wood species is the planking?

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.
