    Google "derelict boats" and go to images, you will get tons of pictures. Bob

    The framing is looking good. Sorry to hear of your medical problem but glad to hear it is better. Bob

    You should have been a navel architect. She looks good. Bob

    She will look good on the water. I like the groove to trap the water at the deck openings. I wish I had have thought of that when I was sailing RC. Bob

    Another member was kind enough to send me plans for the 24ft launch. It looks very much like the boats in the picture. Now all I have to do is build two at 3" (76mm). Bob

    Thanks for that last picture, what a beautiful shot, looking back past the boiler to the engine and doctor and then the wheels. I stopped and looked at it for several minutes dreaming of days past. Bob

    Nils, glad the injection helped. Bob

    Yes, I always print my own. Bob

    In the book, "The Western Rivers Engineroom Cyclopedium" By Alan Bates there are a couple of pictures and a sketch of doctor engines. I don't know that they would be the same as those on the USS CAIRO but they might help. Bob

    LOL Bob

    Live steam and radio, two of my favorites. Sounds like a fun build. Bob

    Coming along nicely, Frank. Well done. Bob

    Thanks to all my friends for the birthday wishes. I had a fine time with family and friends. Too much cake and ice cream. Bob

    A place of honor for a beautiful build. Congratulations. Bob

    Hi Friends, I'm sorry I haven't posted anything new for a while. I'm trying to learn a new process and it has a steeper learning curve then I had expected. When I get good final product I'll show it. Hopefully It won't be too much longer. Bob

    Thanks Carl and welcome aboard. I hope you found a comfortable chair, there's still a long way to go. Bob

    What a "little" beauty. Bob
  18. captainbob
    The side shot showing the full length with the running gear really shows the beauty of the HEROINE and your workmanship. Bob

    I've been dreaming of something similar. I will continue dreaming while I watch you. bob
  20. captainbob
    As close as the frames are, how will you remove the pins holding the spalls? Bob
  21. captainbob
    I was wondering how you were going to hide all those pin holes. Well done, and a fine frame. Bob
  22. captainbob
    From what I've seen so far, you can get past, "troublesome mechanics". Bob
  23. captainbob
    Thanks for the info site. Lots of nice tricks. If you looked close you could see the blade move back and forth because of the short arms on top. Bob
  24. captainbob
    This should be a nice practice boat for your future schooner. But go all the way with it mast rigging sails and all. Bob
  25. captainbob
    You mention a tunnel for the propeller shaft. Will your boat be radio controlled? That should be fun. Bob

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.
