    I'll second Legends note: Don't know if you're still around the site, but yeah, great job. You made it look easy. (I'm just starting to plank my own Glad Tidings.)

    Brilliant build, Steve. Thanks for posting your log. I learned some useful tricks here. Mark

    Righteous workshop! This may be your first ship build, but you're no beginner. Me on the the other hand... I'm learning a lot just by watching. I'll follow along.
  30. Estoy_Listo
    Thanks, Popeye. You're an inspiration.

    Thanks, Jim and Carl. The Admiral approves too, describing the work as "elfy." Elfy, as in the Keebler Elf. She was drawn to the details, below. I'm back to puzzling out how to download pictures from the cloud. (Don't mean to publish them so large.) I'll figure it out eventually. I really enjoyed building this, and I'm quite pleased with the results. There are many ways it can be improved, but that takes time and practice. I can't wait to start another . Having problems removing an extra picture. If I'm successful, then good

    Here it is.

    A year later, I'd say it was about time to finish the build. (Moving from a four bedroom house to a 650 SF apartment is a serious disruption, and this Spring we've been getting out and exploring our new hometown of snohomish I spent a lot of time painting--or rather, learning to paint. I used filbert style brushes which worked well. I thinned the paint to a workable consistency and just did the best I could. Getting even color w/o brush strokes is a real challenge, but I did the best I could. I got bogged down attaching the molding. I was using CA for the first

    This has been very instructive, Dee_Dee. Thanks. Looking forward to watching your progress.
  35. Estoy_Listo
    I'm more inclined towards working boats, but I can see why you're enthused about this build. It looks great.
  36. Estoy_Listo
    Aye, but it does look good

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.
