    Rob, Mon Dieux! Is she thinking along the lines of Louis IX, the "Sun King" like the Palace of Versailles or more subdued like Monet's Garden Home in Giverny?

    Rob, by the way, it's a huge relief to know you're maintaining pain free. That's wonderful news indeed.

    @rwiederrich not to be a royal "pita" but I just wanted to remind you not to forget those pesky "cavils" that Michael Mjelde insisted upon and that the McKay bollards are wooden posts seperated by a low connecting bar as can almost be completely seen in the sailor's pic.

    @Jared your friend did an excellent job saving your fore royal-skysail mast. Thanks for sharing your mishap with us. Doing so humanizes the experience for all of us.

    @rwiederrich that is huge news! Congratulations! Only someone who's had the trauma of bearing chronic pain for months can truly grasp the momentous relief being pain free can be. I wish that experience on nobody else. Don't be surprised if you feel a little more tired than usual. Nurses informed me that's a person's body's normal reaction to stress relief of no longer suffering. Now you can relax again.

    Rob, Here's a toast to "Stone-Crusher" living up to its name!

    @rwiederrich she's coming along nicely. I hope you're feeling better.

    Rob, pain just sucks.... Suffering for two months, you have my sympathies. By any chance, did you find anything useful in the supplement link I shared? They're supposed to help dissolve kidney stones.
  20. ClipperFan
    @EdT I am honored that you remember me too. Thank you. Your meticulous replica is well represented and in very good company.

    @EdT I still remember meeting you and viewing your recently finished Young America twin plank on frame and plank on bulkhead hulls in Mystic, CT like it was yesterday. You had just published book I of the eventual three publications. You were gracious in allowing me to take multiple pictures of both. It truly was an honor to meet you. And it was quite rewarding to see your spectacular finished clipper in all her glory!

    Rob, "May you pass with flying colors!" 😉

    https://kidneystonereport.com "Top 5 Kidney Stone Supplements - Dissolving Kidney Stones @rwiederrich my sister-in-law who suffers from kidney stones said that passing them is tougher than childbirth. You have my sympathetic support. I found a study which recommends 5 top supplements which are supposed to help dissolve kidney stones. I took a look at the #1 supplement evaluation which said that besides naturally dissolving stones, it helps prevent new ones. The link is typed above, since copy & paste didn't work. In case it still doesn't work, I screenshot it too. Your Stag Hound build is progressing beautifully. Those black sided boats with green bottoms really reflect the Buttersworth painting exactly. Again, nicely done!

    @Jared nicely done.

    Rob, As usual your work is clean and impeccable. Stag Hound is such a beautiful clipper.

    Rob, Welcome back! It's great to hear that you had an enjoyable vacation. Your little helper really does give a sense of the size of this vessel.

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.
