    Thank you. It's been wonderful and tiring but the ship is beautiful.

    Darrell, Bill and I have finished Harry. After over 500 est hrs of work and a year I have taken to calling Henry Grace a Dieu, "Harry." ....it's shorter and we are certainly familiar. He has been cleaned, his broken or missing parts are present, his sails are all rigged and he's ready for another hundred years. Thanks to all for your support and suggestions. Special thanks to the Powerhouse Museum of Sydney, Australia for the great photos of their copy of Harry. It was a valuable assist. Below, find the before/after shots

    the engine area was "worn" considering the boat was a coal-burner. No practical way to keep coal dust from grinding into the wood over time

    In this pic you might notice the major changes: the cabin is stretched; a cupola is added; the open aft seating is proportionately shortened; the cabin roof is patterned.

    A Victorian steam launch kit bashed from Constructo’s “Louise”

    Happy Christmas and Happy Holidays, all. Sorry about updates. The masts and yards were shipped off to another club member to rig. Once they get back, I will complete the job.. In the meantime I've built a small stern-wheeler and am finishing the Constructo "Louise" steam launch. I'm sure the rigged masts will arrive soon. Till then, have a safe, healthy New Year.

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.
