    Hi Chuck. That is a really sweet looking model and of course your workmanship is great as usual.

    Hi Chuck, I've worked with you for years and yet your mind and innovation continues to amaze me! Love it. Seeing this makes me miss my workshop soooooo much. Thanks for the much needed fix.

    Hi Bob, Just got a chance to catch up on your work. As I thought you would, you've been making great progress and it looks fantastic.

    Hi Ben. I'm glad to see that you may be able to correct the problem without too much trouble and have a cross section to boot.

    Hi Grant. Great job on a very perplexing part of the build. Great advice from Mobbsie. Where was he when I was cussing and having the same problems? Keep up the good work mate.

    Thanks Bob. Well the good news is we're moved. The bad news is now we have to unpack it all!

    Hi Bob. I had a moment from the move and was able too catch up on your build. You sure have been making a lot of progress and doing a great job too. Well done.

    Hi Pat. It's great to hear from you and welcome aboard.

    Hi Dirk, Bob, Grant, Mark and Ken. Thanks for the kind words and best wishes to survive the move. All the likes too!

    Nicely done Grant. This is all new to me and very interesting.

    Thanks Brian and Chuck. Unfortunately it's the double whammy of summer chaos and the move. May have to set up a temporary shop in the dinning room.

    Hi All, Been real busy here with the renovations and getting ready to move. I managed to get the deck planked over the past two weeks. The curved planking was a lot of fun to do in a sick kind of way. J Here is the planking done through the center of the deck. After looking it over I wasn't happy with the alignment with the aft most hatch and skylight. So I ripped off the planking to the skylight and repositioned the hatch and skylight and re-planked it. Much happier now. Here is the completed planking and sadly the last that work that will be done for some time to come. The shop is now officially closed, the Cheerful has been packed up and I'm now starting to pack up the rest of the shop. I’ll be living vicariously through all of you and hopefully rejoin you sooner instead of later. So long for now!

    My heart breaks for you. Good luck Ben!

    Thanks Ryland. I really missed seeing you and everyone else at the conference. Hopefully next year turns out better.

    Thanks Chuck. The house is the reason you didn't see me yesterday. Not a happy day!

    Hi all, As you may have noticed things have been really slow in the shipyard. Renovations at the new house are in full swing and taking most of my free time. Within the next week or two I’ll sadly be closing down for an extended period. Here is a brief update with one more to come. Ok maybe two if I can squeeze it in! The completed companionway. Windless kit from Syren Ship Model Company Here are the hatches, companionway and skylight placed. Now I'm ready to start planking the deck!
  17. Rustyj
    Fantastic!
  18. Rustyj
    She's looking great and coming along quite nicely.
  19. Rustyj
    Thanks Ken and all those likes. Next was another of Chucks mini kits, the sky light. It is very small and delicate but as you can see Chuck gives you extra pieces and it all went together with no problems. Companionway and windless are next!
  20. Rustyj
    Oh boy it's time to make some deck structures. I love this part of the build. First up is the deck grating and coamings. I’ll be using Chucks jig and cambered gratings strips from Syren Ship Model Company. The gratings and coamings are made from boxwood. You can see how they look after removal from the jig but before being trimmed and coamings added. And here they are trimmed to size and then the coaming added. This grating kit is great! Thanks Chuck!

    Very nice Eric. There are a lot of us using hi-tech towels out here and I'm glad you were able to get one.
  22. Rustyj
    Wonderful build Bob. It will be a great reference for cheerful builders, myself included.
  23. Rustyj
    Hi Bob. Great choice. I've thought about this model myself. I'm looking forward to following along with everyone else.
  24. Rustyj
    Thanks Chuck and everyone for the likes. I'm hopeful that I won't be out of action long but the realistic side of me knows I'm just dreaming.
  25. Rustyj
    Hi Bob and thanks. Time will tell but I'm optimistic.

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.
