    Hi John, I can relate! We had our first good freeze last night (28 deg) and gardening is over for the year. I have walked into the man cave all summer and see my Rattler right where I left her in the spring, knowing our winter is coming and I’ll get back at it. Like you (and many others I’m sure), sometime during each day, I open up the forum to see what’s going on with the builds I follow. Ive learned that lots of builders share other parts about their lives and hobbies and it’s fun to see them share! I too have surmised the rattlesnake (being a single plank construction) is not the robust tough easy to handle ship that a double planked hull model is. I remember “man-handling” my Lady Nelson and it surprised me how tough it was. Look forward to getting back at it and seeing your progress as well. 👍😀 Dave

    Gotta love those Pards that know what they’re doing with the 3D thing. Excellent bartering (one gardener to another)! 👍😀

    Thanks Ed, I bought the MS paint set for the Rattler, however, I won't use the hull paint they have in the set... It's too dark for my liking, kind of like an almond brownish, sort of, kinda. 😆 I have taken the summer off, big garden, golf, good weather etc.. However, I bring up the forum everyday and keep in touch with the folks and the builds I'm watching (especially the rattlers). 👍 😀

    Outstanding! Really looking good Ed! When I get around to it, your choice of colors and scheme will probably get duplicated. 😆

    Jim, do you have a build of your Rattler going?
  19. Dave_E
    Good trouble shooting! 👍😀

    I agree with you on the petal cowls… it absolutely distracts from your amazing engine build! 🫤
  21. Dave_E
    Outstanding Sir! Excellent work!👍😀
  22. Dave_E
    There simply are no words that do justice for this level of perfection. 👍😀
  23. Dave_E

    WAY nice Ed! 👍😀

    Respectfully INSANE! Your part of a very small community of modeler’s that can turn out this level of perfection, in this scale, in card! 👍😀👏

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.
