    Great job Ed...love it all. It appears the fife rail is pulling from the deck on that last image? Rob

    GAW is the metal whisperer....... Unbelievable workmanship. Rob
  3. rwiederrich
    Stunning! Rob
  4. rwiederrich
    Mind bending detail.....just amazing! Rob

    Fantastic job Ed... really marvelous work. I have to make these little monsters in 1/128th for my Great Republic...I might go a different route..just too small. Rob
  6. rwiederrich
    Quite impressive Ed....very impressive indeed. Rob
  7. rwiederrich
    Ed...I have neglected my own Glory of the Seas and Great Republic builds in lieu of some major home remodeling, but watching you work so methodically and accurately on the YA encourages me to no end and in some small way gives me the endorphin high I get from engaging my own builds. Awesome and amazing work on the YA. Just beautiful. Rob(Thanks)

    Fantastic work Ed. I'm sure those line issues were evident on the real vessel...I can't imagine they were not. Rob
  9. rwiederrich
    Magnificent! Just beautiful. Rob

    This model of a mast rig stepping a mast helps the mind grapple with the sheer will perpetuated by these men who did great construction feats with what they had, and they did wonders.... IMHV Though not an exact replica of what happened this demonstrates the idea Rob
  11. rwiederrich
    As usual Ed..magnificent work. Rob
  12. rwiederrich
    Wonderful work Ed....just wonderful. Will those spreaders be rigid enough? Rob
  13. rwiederrich
    Your work is considerably amazing.....to what they fabricated. Fantastic work as usual. Rob
  14. rwiederrich
    Fantastic work Ed as usual. I was wondering...I suspected the mast cap to be parallel with the tops..you opted to make it perpendicular to the rake of the lower mast. And you have that beautiful yard....do you have steps outlining its construction along with the truck build? Rob
  15. rwiederrich
    Truly amazing... Rob

    I appreciate your application of twisted wire to simulate chain..I've seen this trick before, but you executed it smoothly. I've not posted too much lately..been to distracted with the total eclipse coming so I'm focusing on my astronomy. You're keeping my ship building fix alive though..... Rob

    It don't get gooder than this Ed........MMMMMMM. Great work. Rob
  18. rwiederrich
    Just wonderful Ed. I like how you wind the eye bolt with the chain pre-threaded. Rob
  19. rwiederrich
    Welcomed response Ed. I have found, that on several images I have of the Glory..there are significant changes. However these can be attributed to her recorded refits. Part of my original questioning found its origin in what I perceived from photographic evidence of YA...apart from any descriptions noted by Crothers. In short, your constructed version didn't match up to what I was seeing in the photographs(You, yourself noted a photographic inconsistency) I further understand the necessity to make things reliably repeatable for modelers wishing to follow your footsteps and build this wonderful model themselves using your fantastically written plans. I have to confess...being a machinist who builds precision refractor/reflector telescopes and their mounts...(Along with ship models), I have a tendency to be a bit overly observant. Please..no disrespect was intended. Rob

    Thanks for your fine rebuttal Ed. It has become true that when photographic evidence is limited, you need to refer to the common practice as it was recorded. In my own research it is apparent that unlike Webb, McKay used a different *Common practice*...and the configurations of jib boom locations and that too of the martingale attachment were clearly different . Again...magnificent work. Rob
  21. rwiederrich
    Beautiful work Ed, as usual, I like how you decided to make a plunge cut in the martingale to place a continuous cleat plate instead of separate side plates bolted to the martingale. I've wondered a thing or two......How have you derived at your final drawn depictions of these structures with such detail? And how did you conclude the jib boom terminated at the bowsprit in the location you ended it? Images..unless I'm seeing things differently, don't concur with this. Rob(Help me see the light, or tell me to shut up)
  22. rwiederrich
    As usual...beautifully executed Ed. Rob
  23. rwiederrich
    Beautiful work on the case Nils. A fine display for a fine model. Rob
  24. rwiederrich
    Gorgeous! Wonderful! Rob
  25. rwiederrich
    Wonderful...just wonderful. Rob

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.
