    The finished creation looks great, O.B.one! This has been a fun build to follow. Looking forward to seeing how the other 2 projects turn out!

    This restoration is adding a lot of new words to my vocabulary, like grapnel!
  3. Glen McGuire
    You did way more than try, Keith. Looks very real. Excellent job.
  4. Glen McGuire
    I am in awe. The complexity of what you were dealing with just boggles my mind. Congratulations on completing such an arduous task. You did an absolutely amazing job, Steven.
  5. Glen McGuire
    That basket is amazing!! Nice teamwork on this build!
  6. Glen McGuire
    Oh I gotta get me a set of those clothespins. They are epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. Glen McGuire
    That's got to be the widest variety of clamps used on a boat at the same time! Despite all the difficulties you described, your planking came out beautiful. That next to last picture is fabulous! I also notice that Marvin disappeared from the last few pictures. Did you scare him away with all that language that's been filling up the super D cup? 😃

    Fantastic paint job on those tiny drums, Grant! So realistic - even with the up-close pictures!!

    Welcome to MSW, Aeneas. You have found the best site on the whole interweb!
  10. Glen McGuire
    Beautiful work, Steven! Particularly on the tiny carvings. Wow.
  11. Glen McGuire
    I'm late to the show but working my way to the front row. Looks like an interesting subject and I love the prominent wood grain. But the best part is the dedication of the build. Toast to your First Mate!!!
  12. Glen McGuire
    These are the 2 coolest projects ever!!! Please keep us updated with more pics of their work. And I checked my bible. Sure enough, all the fishing boats were indeed turquoise and pink! 😃
  13. Glen McGuire
    I hope you do a build log for that!
  14. Glen McGuire
    I tried to stop myself from doing this, Keith, I really did. But my fingers just wouldn't listen. I fully expect for you to block me from your build log going forward.
  15. Glen McGuire
    It looks amazing!! So cool!!
  16. Glen McGuire
    Excellent decision to change the color of the ground under the pit and give it a gravelly look. It makes for a very nice contrast to the brown dirt as well as helping to visually identify the work area.
  17. Glen McGuire
    Superb work, particularly on those Martnets!
  18. Glen McGuire
    Now I get it! Like tossing something in the trash bin. BTW, very cool area to display your work! I think a sea monster attacking a ship would be a great addition to the partition!

    The Aussie and Canadian contingents on MSW are always teaching this non-worldy Texan terms they use. Is "bin the flop" a New Zealand expression? Never heard that one before! 😃
  20. Glen McGuire
    Those sails look great, Steven. What kind of paint did you use?
  21. Glen McGuire
    That is very interesting! And I was certain Pat and the rest of the proud Aussies were trying to confuse me again with their lingo. Too bad they don't sell that Bundaberg rum here in Texas or I'd help myself to more than a tot!
  22. Glen McGuire
    If you did not tell us about the issues, we would not notice them. In fact, I'm not sure I see any as it is. It's in the bottle, standing up on all 4 legs, crane towering over everything, and looking fantastic! Superb work!!
  23. Glen McGuire
    It just keeps getting better and better!
  24. Glen McGuire
    Once again I fail the Aussie vocabulary test. What is a "tot"? A drink of some kind maybe?
  25. Glen McGuire
    Oh man, been there done that! Very nice save on your part to get the hull pieces separated and back out of the bottle. Sounds like you have a good plan for round 2 by fixing the ship in place before additional construction. I am anxious to hear how it goes. Like Bob above, I am also in the rooting section!

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.
