    One suggestion Rusty, I’d add another support in the middle to keep the board from sagging. Best Regards …. Rick

    Interesting details, but like you’ve said before, Chuck, less is more. Best Regards …. Rick

    Jeff, It’s best to sand the laser burn off the parts while they’re still in the billets. No chance of rounding the edges that way. Best Regards …. Rick

    Chuck, Do you think a group build like the Winnie would be a good idea? Thoughts??? Best Regards ….Rick

    I’ll also be starting a build log shortly, mine arrived yesterday. Thanks Chuck! Best Regards …. Rick

    What does the gap look like on the other side? Remember, the laser doesn't cut perfectly straight, so I would think that a slight adjustment on the other end would be appropriate. I'm sure that Chuck will chime in. Best Regards .... Rick

    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

    What Jim said, please include the furniture in the kit! Best Regards … Rick

    I’m following along also. You’ve made a very good start to your Medway. She’s a fun build and will teach you a lot, at least for me it did. 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

    Excellent! Very nicely executed! Question - where did the longboat come from? Best Regards …. Rick
  20. Freebird
    Very, very nice Erik! Rick
  21. Freebird
    Wonderful! Best Regards …. Rick

    Great advice Chuck, to start a build log. I found it very helpful when I built my Medway and for Cheerful, with what I’ve accomplished so far. With winter coming Cheerful will back on deck. Best Regards …. Rick

    Hello Tom! I just found your Morgan build, and after having seen it in person I’m even more amazed at your skills! Hope you and your family have an wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving! Best Regards …. Rick

    Incredible! Best Regards …. Rick
  25. Freebird
    Very nice and congrats! I felt the same, never thought I’d get to the finish line. 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.
