    I’ll jump into the fray. All the commentary about fit, etc are all good. However, the images people are critiquing are huge compared to the size of the figures. With my eyes, I can hardly see the figure, let alone a big hand or Ill-fitted coat. That’s not to say the comments aren’t valid, but holy cow I am starting to understand why Chris is saying he is going to punt.

    Excellent observation. The figures are awesome, but the telescope would not be sitting like that (at least not for long).

    Wich' being one who's building a Granado - I'd encourage add'n a bomb vessel to the Vanguard Fleet 😃. When it comes to armament, maybe bigger is better 😉

    Hey Francois, Thanks for your kind words about my color scheme. I’m trying my best! What I meant was i will be flying to Madrid, then driving to Salamanca for a scientific meeting. After the meeting is over, I will drive to Porto for a few days, then to Coimbra, and then to Lisbon for a while, before flying back to the US from Lisbon. My niece lives in Lisbon, so it will be very good to see her again (last time I saw her was when I visited her in 2016 when she was living in Moscow). Looking forward to a few weeks of business and pleasure near you!!!

    Well, it has been a long time since I have updated my build log. That doesn't mean I haven't been working on the Granado, but it does mean I am slow as molasses (particularly with things I have never done before). I have been working a lot too. However, enough of the excuses, and a wee bit of an update on where it all stands at the moment. Here are two photos of my progress with the preparation of the masts, yards, bowsprit, gaffs, etc for the rigging of Granado: I still have things to touch up, and the mizzen mast needs some Danish Oil wiped on it still....but it is progress. We are heading inland for a short time, and I will work on the Sphinx while there and send some pics of that soon. Then back out to the Island before I eventually head to Spain and Portugal for a little international science and adventuring. Hope all is well with everyone, and thanks for stopping by!!!!

    It is really coming together beautifully. WELL DONE BROTHA!
  27. HardeeHarHar
    Awesome!!!!
  28. HardeeHarHar
    I’ve been planning on removing the base, I thought everybody did!!! Now wondering if you could print some out without the base 🤔
  29. HardeeHarHar
    Yes indeed, she is looking good. Even Captain Marvin must be impressed by now. We should set up a GoFundMe site with all proceeds going towards your purchase of a Vanguard Model. 😃
  30. HardeeHarHar
    Looking good!!!
  31. HardeeHarHar
    Will be sending you positive thoughts and prayers my good man.

    I’m still sanding the inner bulwark frames… even with the Proxxon mini-sander it is taking me a long time to get it nice and smooth “/. Laser char is the worst!

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.
