    I promise you an update today and here it come....... Not the update that you are expecting but it is one ! Caldercraft give me a cradle with nothing.. I know that some is painting them or giving it a layer of stain. I didn't do that. Because I love planking, I have planked the whole thing ! When that was done I give it two layers of mat varnish. I think it looks good. But, see for your self. I also place the nameplate that I've got from Mobbsie. But, I don't want you to think that I'm doing nothing, the last picture is an update from the starboard side. So you see that I'm still at the copperplates ! Sjors

Time flies....when you have fun ! @ Augie, The passengers has taken the bus and leaving me behind....... @ Mark, Witch log you are looking at, it's always the right log ! @ Bindy, Thanks for the good word about the coppering Wait and see when I'm done with the other side........

    Sorry that I'm not answering you Tom. I don't know how the manual was years ago.... I have these day's no problems at all. The drawings are clear to me. But don't forget, Mobbsie is helping me. He is a walking manual ...... When you start a build log, let me know and I will follow you and help you where I can. Sjors

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.
