So, I finally had time to finish the acrylic case and get the Orca delivered to it's new home! It felt like I was taking one of the kids off to college! I know it will be well taken care of......And I have visitation rights!? On to the next!

I took this to the Classic Plastic Model Contest in MA this past weekend.....Took first place in the Miscellaneous Category, their "Best Detail" award and their "Best of Show" award. Kind of amazing for a model car contest to give the best of award to something other than a car.

Well, I got the Orca finished enough to enter it into the Jerseyfest Model competition this past weekend....... To my surprise, it took a gold in the vehicle category, AND it also took Best of show vehicle!? Here are some photos of it at the show........ Hope you like!

Been busy with Summer things...... Working on the house and rebuilding my 66 Plymouth Valiant wagon, finally got some time to get back to the boat! Got the fighting chair all molded up. Now I'm painting and assembling the chair for the boat. Have a bunch of small detail work to finish up the next few days, then her & I are taking the trek down to Jerseyfest for her first competition! I'll get updated photos soon! Here are a couple cool lighting shots!

Quick update..... Finally got the small Rock Away logo cast, that was a chore!? Had to find a material that would be strong enough but pliable to get a quality casting. I ended up using a dab of Magic Sculp to get it. Now that's done I'll get it adhered to the foot rest and get the molds made. Hopefully I can get those done this weekend. Happy 4th of July to all our USA members!

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.
