    Glad to see some new followers for Glen, who is graciously finishing this model for my family. But, he is being overly modest. While he may be grinding his way through (seemingly impossibly complicated) rigging, his repair work was certainly more than “a bit.” The in-process model had been dropped, damaging the bowsprit and other areas of the ship. Repairing and completing the model was well beyond my skillset to complete, and Glen is, quite simply, a godsend. I’m glad more people are following him!

    Glen, amazing work. Glad you’re getting some relaxation time in. Hawaii is great. - Carson

    The aluminum micro-mesh, $2.95 from G&G Model Shop, brings back memories. G&G was my dad’s neighborhood model shop in Houston that he walked to as a kid, and took me and my brother to when we visited my grandparents decades later. For model shop enthusiasts, here is the history of the shop, which looks like it may have reopened: https://www.gandgmodelshop.com/history.html. Glen, there’s even some history in that bag of aluminum micro-mesh! - Carson

    All, just wanted to drop everyone a line to say that I am following the build log. Though, frankly, I wasn’t expecting quite this level of action out of the gate! The work to date is, quite simply, amazing. And words can’t describe my family’s deep level of appreciation. I’m keeping my mom updated too. - Carson

    My father unexpectedly passed away late last year. He was working on a Model Shipways wood model of the USS Constitution, maybe 70-80% complete (photos below). Complications from his condition led to him accidentally dropping it, damaging the prow. So, the model (in Dallas, Texas) needs some repair in addition to overall completion. I don’t have the ability to take on this repair/completion project, but was hoping to find someone who might be willing to do so. The project, as you might imagine, is a sentimental one. I’d like to see the model completed in his memory. Any leads would be much appreciated, and I’m happy to visit to offer more information, discuss, etc. Thanks for your time.

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.
