Attempting to do photographs with dark background. The last 3 photos are taken by my daughter with her iPhone - I think they are better than my pictures!

Hi All, Finally finished my work on HMS Endeavor and ready to go to my sister's house this weekend! The work took a bit more than 1 year - much shorter than I expected (COVID-19 definitely having an impact here). Thank you all for your encouragement and guidance!! The final work : the name tag.

Hi Dave, Thanks very much for your kind words! I think it took me just little bit more than 1 year (say 1.2 years) - quite fast due to the COVID-19 situation. Corel kit does not come with any sails, nor does Corel provide any plans for sheets. The sails are made from fabric I purchased seperately - pretty much the thinnest fabric that can be worked on by a sewing machine. I bench-marked the Artesania Latina sail plans for the work on sheets. My next project is scratch built Golden Hind which I will be able to post from the beginning this time. Anyway, all the best with you current build!! I will be following your current build.

Hi All, Nearing the finish line now! I think the final photos will be uploaded next week. below are some photos taken during the final works. Rudder chain installed.

Hi All, All rigging are finished and life boat mounted to the main deck. I think in about 2 weeks the ship will be finished. I did not like the work on flags and will probably redo them later. Life boat installment into the main deck.
-
Stay sails all finished and just couple of rigging work left to do after life boat is secured to the main deck and some other tidying up work are finished. Once again, brought the ship out to a relatively brighter area of the house for some photos.

Hi All, I have been working on stay sails in tandem with the life boat. Below are some pictures of these works. Works on flying jib sail and jib sail.

Hi All, Finished the life boat. Used the kit provided lifeboat as a template for scratch building this life boat. It is my first scratch built life boat using no plans. Here are some photos of the work.

Hi All, Speeding up the work in the shipyard and finished the square sail installments. Moving on to stay sails and life boat construction. Below are some pictures during the finishing phase of the square sail work. Fore main sail.

Main top gallant sail attached : I could not make it look good partially furled, so I furled it completely.

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.
