The rope work on the rustic base is a really nice touch. It complements the ship quite well. Great job, Bryan!

When I saw the doe head, I thought PFC Pyle might have come home after some AWOL deer hunting. But Gabek's work undoubtedly looks a lot better that Pyle's! Regardless, that's a nice finishing touch on a very well done model. Congratulation Bob!

I like the 2nd option. The knot and rope look like they lay more naturally than the first.

Pretty sure I spotted him hanging out with my longhorns. They are a bad influence. Sorry about that, Bob. Regardless, looks like you are off to a great start. Looking forward to watching this come together.

Not that I am biased, but I think it's time for another SIB!! Your Golden Hind is a beauty. You get better and better with each build!

Instead of plastic wrap, you might try wax paper. It's easier to handle than thin plastic wrap. That's what I use for similar applications. Regardless, great job on those sails, JC! They really look nice.

Those barrels are tiny, indeed, and look near impossible to drill out. I use veterinary needles (intended for cattle) for my very small SIB cannon barrels. They are cheap and come in a variety of gauges/thicknesses. Something to consider if you want that hollow cannon barrel look. Although the one on deck above looks to have a bit of a taper, which the vet needles do not have.

Thank you, Keith! But this SIB will not be going north. She will be making her home on a beautiful 250 acre hill country ranch about an hour west of Austin. I built this one for an old college roommate that wanted something special to give to his wife for a milestone birthday.

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.
