    Coming in late to this party. Read through the log tonight. Thanks for all the photos. They really show the methods for building all the smaller pieces.

    Both look super nice. Each is unique and shows how there's more than one way to build models. Good job on both.

    Thanks for the detailed log. You have a great build here with this gem.

    Thanks. I plan on using acrylics. I want catch all 'overspray' since I will be using inside a room. Great video, thanks for the link.

    First, thanks for the build log and details. Great progress and commentary. One of the great things about these build logs comes from seeing different aspects of the modeler's setup. For example, they're workbench setup. I looked again at your paint booth set up (post 73 edited June 5). The hose goes into a bucket in what looks like a piece of filter paper. Is that correct? Do you have a top for the bucket with a center hole for the vent and some smaller holes in the top, hence the dark spots that we see? The filter would cover the holes, it appears. I am looking at a similar set up since the temperature in my garage varies so much (like up to 100 degrees this week) and I need to bring my painting operation into a more controlled environment. Thanks for taking a side trip in your build to answer these questions.

    Nice model. Superbly executed.
  26. robert952
    Welcome to the wooden side of modeling. Looking good. Following along to watch the progress.
  27. robert952
    Hopping on board to follow along. I enjoy reading about this intersesting ship and it's voyages.

    If you want more details to @ccoyle input : Link to copyright.gov. It gives additional details to what is considered fair use. But it is summarized concisely above.
  29. robert952
    Looks good! Thanks for sharing your adventure of this build.

    Not sure how I overlooked this build. Jumping on board. Nice work and looks to this boat.

    I keep forgetting to mention this. Olha Batchvarov is posting a complete video build log on this model. Recent post is number 32 from a day ago. I 'scanned' (as in fast forwarded through) a couple of them. Look great. Not sure what the colaboration efforts were but Model Expo ran a deal (aren't they always?) on the model and promoting her doing the video log. Most of the videos are 2 hours (one is over 3). Easy to search for since not a lot of YouTubers post 'Muscongus Bay build' for the subject. (A lot of videos to look through if you go the her YouTube channel.) Definitely in my notes to review more when I dig down into my stash and work on this model.

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.
