    Squadron had a strong brand loyalty, so Chris may be able to make it work if he can bring it back to the level it once had before the investment firm bought it. Or, to stem off your analogy, it could be an "American Motors" type of investment and never again will take hold in the market.

    Glad to see you back, I also took about a five year hiatus from working on my Connie. Your deck should look really good when your done with it. The hull turned out really good.

    I really enjoyed this presentation. I grew up near Fort Benton, MT and now live south of KC, so I have always have had a strong interest in steamboat history and technology.

    Excellent tutorial Bruma on you sail technique. I have tried Silkspan and Modelspan, and like Rob, hadn't had good results from it giving an appearance of being too thin and opaque, so I have resorted to using paper on past projects. However, you seemed to have overcome the problem with some ingenuity and I really now want to try the way you made them on my next project. Thank you for such an informative build log. Scott

    Nice precision work Wes. I use Solidworks and ACAD at work, and have purchased TurboCad to use at home. Its quite affordable between $100 and $300, depending on what you want. It's also easy to pick up on if you are a ACAD user.

    That is a repair I have gotten quite skilled at. I broke the bowsprite off my 1/96 scale Constitution and Alabama, and then my Mother did the same on her Thermopylae. Because of the frequency of breakage on the 1/96 scale ships, with hollow booms, I put a steel rod in the bowsprit boom to make if stiff enough to endure the casual bump while being moved.

    Kings Quest was great. I had it on my Leading Edge 8-88 with the internal 40MB HD. Also was addicted to "Aces of the Pacific" and "F15".

    Ok, we can't be that old to have to be nostalgic over a Commodore 64 are we? I traded my 64 for a 128 and took it to college and It was a dream having to be able to do all my homework in my apartment and not on those stinkin DecMates in the computer lab.

    Good to have another Kansan aboard Billy. I live about hour and half east of Wichita and have just finished the kit you are working on.

    Jesse, It has been a pleasure following your build log over the last five years. You have done a remarkable job and this log will be a valuable reference for others who will build this kit. Scott

    Woo hoo Danny, Glad to hear you rode out the wave and getting your keel back under you. Keep holding yourself to the weathergage.

    Dan, With all the energy you put into your builds and this site, I had never guessed you were not in good health. Fair winds behind you as you endure this painful journey, and that God may bless and keep you my friend. Scott

    Thank you everyone. I plan to post more updates when I start building the shadow box. Scott
  31. ScottRC
    Well, maybe I'm not finished. I am experimenting with water techniques (styrofoam, gels, and cotton) and decided to start building a shadow box display for my father's burial flag and Navy certifications and commendations. Here are some recent pics of my progress. Scott

    Awesome work Greg. Dry transfers and paint are the way to go!

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.
