Excellent progress. We look forward to watching these joints come together, step by careful step. IMO, they can make or break a model. You are several months ahead of my latest project. The mobile shipyard is still working on frames. We did have a friend deliver a package of pearwood stock to our current campground, for the keel and rising wood. So, workers here are already planning the steps and process for laying the keel and stem/stern pieces. I will continue to follow closely to glean what I can from your techniques and experience! Thanks for the great pictures and process descriptions!

I just discovered your excellent build log! I'm excited because you are a few weeks ahead of my build of the bomb ketch Salamandre. This means I can see how you complete the steps I am about to start!! Your frames look superb (I'm 75% through frame construction). I wait with anticipation to watch you mill and construct the keel. Thanks for posting such detailed pictures and descriptions!

Well done!! Your work is so crisp and precise. An inspiration to us all. Regarding the last photo...I'm sure it was nice to not have to go to the "head" of the ship! Especially in heavy seas. Rank had its Privileges!!

Beautiful work!! The lines and grains were so crisp and beautifully executed I initially thought I was looking at an AI image😄! Love it! Don't forget the seats of ease for the Captain, in those wonderful quater-galleries!!

First read the post and thought it said 1.5 years but rereading only 1.5 months! Amazed how the color mellowed and love it as a choice for the pillars! It really adds character and texture to any model when one uses different woods to highlight specific items!

Wow! Hours spent browsing this incredible log and I wish I could get more. Breasthooks and Hause Holes look great. I speak for all, when I say, I'm glad you are back with your tools and workshop, so we can gain insights and knowledge from your great skills and clear documentation of techniques.

Look forward to seeing how this ages! I'm totally into "painting" a model with different woods. I hope this one loses some of the pink/purple hue...it seems too "colorful" right now. Glad you have some months to let the color mature.

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.
