I think you made a great choice with the broom straw for your thatch. It looks great and each strand has small, random variety to the straightness which looks very natural. However, I agree with what you say about the straight line on the bottom edge looking unnatural. Especially compared to this picture from one of your earlier posts. Like you said, it would be a lot of work to remake what you've done already, but I think you will be a lot happier with the result.

You are correct, Keith. Those are the 3 in Boston right now. The good news was that I did not have to worry about damage during shipping. The bad news was that I had to drive them up there from central Texas (28 hrs each way). The worse news is that I have to drive back up there and get them in a couple of weeks! To your last question - yeah, there's probably some risk having them on display for 6 weeks somewhat unsupervised (there is usually a model club member or two in the exhibit rooms, but they can't keep an eye on everything). The museum put the Kraken under a plexiglass case so it is safe, but the two others are just sitting on a table out in the open. I was told the museum expects 10s of thousands of visitors during the exhibit with many, many busloads of school kiddos. The biggest risk is probably young 'uns trying to grab some of the pirate's coins out of Captain Kidd's treasure chest. I have the bling glued down pretty well, so hopefully it's all still there when I return.

Thank you, Keith! I've got my SIBs on some pipe shelving in the corner of my office (see pic below). Three of my SIBs are missing from the shelves as they on on display right now at the USS Constitution museum in Boston as part of their annual ship model show. When I get them back I'll have to add to the shelving since it was full before I completed the Wa'a Kualua.

I don't know about that, Steven. I think the crewman bears an uncanny resemblance to the helmsman model.

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.
