    Hi Ferrus,  I've been reading your build logs with pleasure.  Just thought I'd drop by and say Hi.  I've been building sailing ship and aircraft models since I was 10 in 1969.  I used to build my sailing ship models on a picnic table in the back yard during the summers.  That worked out great until a breeze caught the sails.  You are doing some wonderful work on your Golden Hinde.  I particularly like your paint work.   

     

    It's wonderful to see someone your age interested in modeling sailing ships instead of playing games on their smart phone.  I've got an unfinished GH staring at me from the "shelf of doom".  Maybe I should dust it off and see what I can do with it.  Keep up the good work!

      When did you write this? I finished my Golden Hinde in February of last year. Many of the logs you comment on are very interesting, and I will be attempting a wooden scratch build this summer. I greatly appreciate the kind words and encouragement, and I would also encourage you to finish your Golden Hinde. I will be looking forward to the build log. College has taken some time off my hands, so I do not have a current project. I am always glad to be on the forum and looking at the amazing things people build, because I always learn something. 

      Cheers!

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.
