    Brilliant work, Paul. Each new post is somehow more impressive than the previous one. Wow.

    I like the red much better. Really eye-catching!
  24. Glen McGuire
    Thanks for the health update, Pat. So glad to hear that you are all clear. Full speed ahead with your Victoria!!
  25. Glen McGuire
    She looks great in her new home. Well done, Bob!!
  26. Glen McGuire
    I agree with John and Bob that printing on paper and then applying would be a good solution. You've got 2 different fonts to deal with and the lettering on the original has sharp lines which will be hard to duplicate freehand at this small scale, especially the serif font of the "Pittsburgh, PA". I believe you could easily create a graphic with the lettering on slightly weathered/off-white background for printing. You could even add that faint dividing line that runs thru BILLY if you wanted to get crazy! I'm also wondering what causes those wrinkles near the top. It almost looks like a stretched canvas that's not quite tight enough - like how my bed looks after I put the sheets on it! That's the cool thing about these projects of yours - trying to figure out what's going on by just studying these old photos.

    Swigging and rigging. Does it get any better than that?
  28. Glen McGuire
    She looks fantastic, Gary. Superb craftsmanship. Congratulations on a fine build!
  29. Glen McGuire
    She came out really nice, Roel. I'm astounded as to how fast you were able to create such a detailed model like that from scratch in such a short amount of time. Well done.
  30. Glen McGuire
    Looking good, Kenny. Your paint job on those tiny cannons was well done.
  31. Glen McGuire
    What is that? Sorry for all the dumb questions, but I do not know any of the terminology for these large industrial vessels.
  32. Glen McGuire
    This is the small structure I was talking about. Not sure what it's called.
  33. Glen McGuire
    Nice work, Roel. What is that small structure made from and how did you make the windows?
  34. Glen McGuire
    That is a work of art, Bob! So well done!!
  35. Glen McGuire
    That's a beautiful model. Well done, Phil!

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.
