    Very nice Grant. You're doing a great job on her.
  2. Rustyj
    I grew with everyone's praise and I will add my "stunning" to the mix.
  3. Rustyj
    That looks really good Bob!

    Grant I'm sorry for your loss but happy that you have so many great memories of your beloved mate. It still amazes me how our pets work their way into our hearts and how much it saddens us when its their time to go. My best to you.

    That's looking so nice Chuck. I can't wait to build her.
  6. Rustyj
    That looks great Maury. I'm glad, and I bet you are too, that you bit the bullet and redid it.

    Hi Grant. Very nicely done!
  8. Rustyj
    Thank you Vic. She was a lot of fun to build and it looks like you're having a great time with your build too!
  9. Rustyj
    Well done Bob. Your method works really well and looks great.

    Great work Bob. Those stern ports looked like they would be a little, as you put it "fussy", but they look perfect. Enjoy your planking.
  11. Rustyj
    Very nice start Bob. Careful you don't get caught speeding and get a ticket!

    Hi Grant. Well done mate. I think I saw the gnat's hair but not the aforementioned alleged alignment issue. I do know what you mean though. We work so closely on all the pieces and when they aren't absolutely perfect they look like a drunk was running roughshod over our work. Keep up the fine work.

    Hi Chuck. The planking looks great and I'm glad to see you've gotten some time to work on the Cheerful.
  14. Rustyj
    Hi Bob, Great to see that you have started on your Cheerful. You sure don't let any grass grow under your feet! I'm looking forward to following along with you and eventually building too.

    Hi Bob. Tremendous job. You've made a fantastic model from what was truly a, let's say, difficult start. Your perseverance really paid off two fold. You ended up with what was an enjoyable experience and we had the pleasure and a tremendous amount of enjoyment following along. Well done mate and on to the new build!

    Hi Bob, Well I'm finishing up an Occre Xebec "Cazador" for my grandson. Been building it on and off for three years now. No build log but I'll post pics when completed. Got some catching up to do on various things around the home that I'm behind on too. Hopefully that will put me on track to start the Cheerful when you do. I've ordered the parts and plans now I just need to get things squared away.

    Great job Mobbsie. Your joints and finish is perfect. Love it!

    Hi Bob. It's been real fun following along with you on this build and admiring your wonderful workmanship. I'll miss this build almost as much as you probably will.
  19. Rustyj
    Hi Maury, Very nice catch there. Everything is looking really nice.
  20. Rustyj
    Thanks for the props Augie. Yes it's boxwood and you can see it was cut from different batches of wood. I never noticed the color difference until I started planking her. Thankfully as it ages the difference is not so obvious.
  21. Rustyj
    A1000 hours! Wow. Well worth every minute I say.
  22. Rustyj
    Hi Grant. Looking really good there. Those mini spales are great. I wish I had them when doing the deck clamps.
  23. Rustyj
    Really nice stuff Ben. Well done!
  24. Rustyj
    Hi Vic. Your doing a fantastic job on your Confederacy. As they say you've gotta keep the admiral (boss) happy. Ben is busy in the scratch build section doing a pof Pegasus.
  25. Rustyj
    Hi Augie, Really nice workmanship. I agree the water ways and margin plank on both sides looks good. Copies of the plans are a must for aligning the lower stanchions. Great job!

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.
