    Oh...my Donald McKay will be modeled similar to this image of the Flying Cloud....probably a bit rougher seas..but similarly short sailed and heeled over, breaking wave crests..etc. Rob

    I'm sure Webb and McKay were vast friends and competitors too.......and as you have suggested...probably said to themselves(If not out loud)...*He's(Webb or McKay), building another one*. As I too finish up my *Glory of the Seas* and prepare to finalize the plans for my *Donald McKay* on her open ocean display....I'm watching your build with great anticipation. IMV Clippers are the pinnacle of fast ship design(under sail)...and remain my dearest favorite. Here is a very nice picture of the Young America Rob

    Sweet build. Thanks for the link....love the water. I added the suspended anchor to the Ferreira and some more head gear rigging today. I'll get some images up a bit later. Rob

    Sometimes what I feel is a good subject to model..others find off beat...and distracting. Thanks for the fine compliments......I will finish the Ferreira and then begin my next build...in similar fashion...with the ship doing what it was designed to do.....sail. The Medium clipper Donald McKay on heavy seas with short sails set. Rob

    Ed I though my model hulls were big at 28".......42" is stunning. A hull model is nice at this scale and a finished rigged ships is awesome to say the least. I need to step up my game. Rob

    Great mods and redo's. I love what you have done. I use that same copper tape..have so for over 35 years. It is wonderful. Thanks for posting...great combination of wood and plastic. Looks superb. Rob

    I concur. My writen references mimic your own....I asked because I have several painting images that do not show any elevated poop.

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.
