Given up, no. I had a major flood disaster in my workshop that required a foundation rebuild. Working with insurance wasn’t fun and things stalled for a while. But now things are settled and back in place, so I’m ready to go. While I’m still very enthusiastic about Cheerful, a POF like Speedwell has been a bee in my bonnet for a long time and nothing out there has captured my POF excitement until your Speedwell came along. Besides, having worked in the aerospace industry for over 40 years, your approach and design aspect's are extremely appealing to the detailed side of me. And yes, a build log will be created. Thank you. Best Regards …. Rick

Chuck, you make this look so very easy, but I know that’s not the case. I just love the intricacies of this endeavor and I’ve been studying the Speedwell books. I’m so looking forward to this project! Best Regards …. Rick

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.
