    Well you guess it no delivery today😔,don't even want to talk about it lol, After I took the clamps off I glued a bit more inside, and got it ready for the 2x2 . Also drew lines where the bulk heads are , to me it make sense to start plaking the out side of the ship starting with these two planks, they are not glued waiting to make sure. I figured they must have had 20 foot planks for sure so . I said the ship is 60 feet long no one knows for sure lol, so made 10 cm planks to be my 20 foot planks. I like the deck coming nicely can't wait to put some finish coats on it.

    So glad to be able to see these logs, they do such a great job and so detailed too, ideas just bounce everywhere, I was looking at a log of the Winnie. Was that fantastic! So many good logs and to think I was going to run because of my computer problems and BANG tech support upstairs, now just have to learn how to build ships right, so counting on you guys. lol The mask is for my grandson's Viking ship. It's going to be his sail. Should he start a log??? lol, Him and I want to fill this case with models. what a journey I have set sail on. Thanks for you patience. Still no NRG flag but it's the long weekend. I know...waiting for parts lol.

    Hi where to begin 😆, Someone asked me how and what I cut my planks with, I have upgraded lol thanks to him and his advise. Was going to start a new log for Nina, waiting for parts ,u p .. something, they can't seem to deliver lol Anyway because it's here on the shelf, but life turns so quick. Seems my son has got "Polymorphous Light Eruption " please only make me spell that once lol, it means he is sensitive to light, sunlight and he's was a welder, made him sick, lost his job, they fired him, lost his pension money, what can you do , good news is he's ok and moving back home, bonus bringing two more kids too lol. So tech support won't be far, should help my computer skills elevate fast. Not going to start the Nina , one ship at a time, but use her parts for Pinta and this is where she stands now

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.
