    After seeing your fantastic work on your Essex, and the challenges you overcame with the kit, I'm definitely pulling up a chair to see more of your magic, Bob! Cheers, Jay

    Those false seizings are great! Cheers, Jay

    Great idea with the thimbles--I'll be borrowing this technique! Cheers, Jay

    Wow, Thanasis your work is absolutely superb and I love your paint job--it's stunning! Cheers, Jay

    Ah, that 3 hr soak time makes sense and a lot easier to shape the workpiece. Cheers, Jay

    Pete, the cockpit and combing really look fantastic! Was the 3 hours for the combing so that it could dry or did you need to just bend a bit at a time? I think shaping those combings are tricky as can be and yours looks great! Cheers, Jay

    Looking really nice--your turnbuckles are excellent, Pete! Likewise, the North Sails logos are awesome and a very nice touch! Did you print the North decals? Cheers, Jay
  21. CAd My Fingers
    She is absolutely stunning, Kees! Beautiful craftsmanship and loved the weathering--congratulations on your lovely model! Cheers, Jay

    Mike, thanks for sharing your approach for fairing your hull! I was thinking the same about curved blocks working better, but I wasn't thinking of using 4. What you said about using 4 blocks makes great sense, and I'll use at least 4 when I get to that step of the build--again, thanks for the tip! Am just starting on tapering to the bearding line. Cheers, Jay
  23. CAd My Fingers
    Looking good, Mike! Did you use a curved sanding block or etc. to fair the bow? I'm currently thinking that's the way to go with the bow but am not sure about how well it will work. Cheers, Jay
  24. CAd My Fingers
    Yea, Pete--now ya got a biggun' to work on! Seriously, congratulations--hope to see some action shots of you and Kate in 'er later this summer! Cheers, Jay

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.
