    Alan, Thank you very much! Jeff, Lol, I enjoy the hobby quite a lot, and each build I learn something new! The challenge is what makes it fun! I’m having a ladder making party today: Second set for the day: Ladders are one of the hardest parts of a ship for me, especially modernish ships.
  17. GrandpaPhil
    Very nice!

    Thank you both very much! Mott’s Military Museum is a very neat place. I like it quite a lot and have been through there a few times. Captain Rickenbacker was a very interesting character. This one took me about 80 hours to build and is now done: I’ll deliver it to its new home this week. Thank you all for watching and following along! Have a very Merry Christmas! And it is now paper ship o’clock!

    The upper wing is on and the figure is base coated. It’s about time to finish the models for the diorama and assemble all of them. I already stripped the rest of the sprues and added the remaining extra parts to my bits box and extra bag o’ decals.
  20. GrandpaPhil
    Decals/markings are added: The figure is started: And here’s the base: Time to finish prepping for rigging and add the top wing!
  21. GrandpaPhil
    Very nicely done!
  22. GrandpaPhil
    That is excellent news!

    Have you seen the Venetian Galleass in Souvenirs de Marine? That looks awesome and I want to build that one day.
  24. GrandpaPhil
    Looks good to me!
  25. GrandpaPhil
    Very cool!

    Harold Hahn’s books have his plans of ARW ships too. Some of them are buildable right out of the books with some resizing.

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.
