    Little pause, caused by my two short vacation trips to Central Srbia, and by sudden death of my PC. I hope to continue in next seven days So, until Dr. Chandra deliver me new Sal9000, and until I return from Zlatibor, cheers for all

    Thank you all for your kind words and support Now, my summer vacation starts a few days ago in ... usual way ... drowned in home works ... day by day started to slide from my hands Fortunately, until august 30th Courts are closed for summer vacation, my clients use their vacations, so I have pretty long resting time (July 25th until august 25th), and I shall figure out something. For instance, to empty from trash, clean and repair roof in attic (50 m 2 to empty and clean, and 10 m2 roof to repair). Outside is nice 37 C, and in attic is nearly 47 C, so I do not need SPA ! Of course, there will be more time to finish last three boats I do not plan to travel somewhere for now by money reasons , maybe couple of days to take my friend`s cottage deep in the middle of nowhere in central Serbia as base, and to make some trips around ... we will see ... still all bricks are not on their place on that wall Anyhow, see you soon with some progress All removed couple of years ago when I had visit of carpenter ants and war with them... This part of attic was turned to Hothead`s music studio where I had my first attempt to play drums ... sure now he has no time for that, and drums are in their boxes Me, bathing in sweat ... Pity, in Serbia there is no such a thing as garage selling ... But there are some recycling companies to take 3/4 of this trash

    From some reason, unknown to me, last couple of days some ghosts moved in my cellphone and in my PC, so I wouldn't post text in comments from cellphone, and I wouldn't enter to my log from PC ... Also, from some reason, also unknown to me, now I can ! So, at first I want to thank you all for more than nice words, undeserved compliments, and generous support to my efforts Jolly boat is finished, left to make oars, rudder and some more small content, and to move to Captains Gig and two lifeboats And here rise one question. Please see attached picture on which is represented position of each boat on C-plans and in present stage My idea is to place boats on such a way that interior of boats can be seen, also to allow clinker planks to be seen (if, accidentally, anybody can be so mad to watch under magnifier :D). With Captains Gig, i decide (for now) to turn it as on present stage, not as on C-plans. And there is aesthetic dilema with another three. Ok, Jolly boat can be easily turned as Captains Gig, and one lifeboat can be turned upside down. But it looks ugly ! Or, to turn all as Captains Gig and Jolly boat ( and then clinker planking can not be seen!) ? Any idea how to solve this aesthetic dilemma ?

    Thanks gerhard, Patrick Denis and other for nice words and likes. I have to admit, results are better than I expected. Again and again, my hard head throwing through walls. It is stronger than me. I just can not explore how other people do this, I just have to find my own way. Subborn, partially stupid, and obviously I enjoy making every piece several times. Some kind of sadomasochism ? Anyhow, and that is most important, I have and find great fun in every retry. Thx again

    Balsa veneer 2mm which I laminated to 1cm thickness

    Thank you to you all who support my efforts, and hit like button One step more with Jolly Boat This time I am not worried about relative messy and untidy work. Jolly Boat is only 6,5 cm long and 1,8 cm wide ( external dimensions), there are plates on edges and benches to be put over, couple of paddles, little mast, etc etc, and covering with half open canvas ... so, inner ribs (which are less than 1 mm width each) and grates on floor of boar will not be really visible so much. Idea was just to sign presence of ribs Ribs are made of regular copy paper, grates from the narrowest strips of veneer I was able to cut ( veneer less than 0,5 mm thick)

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.
