    I love the work boats, and you have built a beauty. Thanks for sharing. Bob

    Glad you're keeping the wife happy so you can work on models and keep us happy. Bob

    Thank you all for your comments and “likes”. Just a couple of comments. Nils being built about the turn of the century, $0.20 an hour for labor was high wages. Michael I can hardly wait to see what’s next myself. Bob

    I believe he is asking about the 6 X 6 beams the hang from the boiler deck as in these pictures. I've always thought they were bumpers. Bob Here you can see them hanging along the side. Here they are pulled up so the ends are on deck.

    Nice looking start. I'm sure you will finish with a fine boat. Bob

    If we didn't learn something would be wrong. Bob

    Lawrence, computers are a pain and sometimes I hate them but then I remember no matter how slow they are we wouldn’t have MSW to keep in touch and have that comradery I need to keep going with boat modeling. Julie, I love the way you think, It’s like me. Welcome aboard, Gerhard, I’ll try to keep you entertained. Now here is where I am now. The saw blade came yesterday so I need to mount that and cut wood for the other boat. For this one I’m moving right along. I built the walls for the saloon. They’re not finished yet but placing them in the hull helps clarify the finished boat. Bob

    All dressed up and looking good. Bob

    Patrick, most of us would say it's just about finished, and a lovely boat she is. But I know that, for you, this is just the start and I can hardly wait to see all the minute details that are to come. Bob

    Julie, when you finish the Endeavor, build the, "I Shrunk the Kids", machine and run it in reverse. Works every time. Bob

    She's a beauty. Bob

    Very nice job, Frank. Bob

    I had been wondering why the rail was shaped that way. Now it makes sense. Bob
  15. captainbob
    She'll be very similar, John. The roof will be different and I'm not sure about the awning. Bob
  16. captainbob
    Not much to show. The holiday took a lot of my time. But I did get the hull painted. And I'm told the saw blade has been shipped so maybe I can start on number two. Bob
  17. captainbob
    What a fun project. Will the case be clear plastic so you can watch the crank shaft turn? Bob
  18. captainbob
    Lamination is the way to go, The rail looks great. Bob
  19. captainbob
    Your other option is like Dee Dee did, re-plank the transom horizontally so the grain of the wood is not so confusing. Bob
  20. captainbob
    You know that once the boat is finished, no one will notice what you are worrying about now. Bob
  21. captainbob
    Thanks Julie, I'm glad to see you here. I average about an hour a day If nothing interrupts, like holidays. So I too find it hard to wait to see more. Bob
  22. captainbob
    With interchangeable clamps yet. Took Junkie supreme. Bob
  23. captainbob
    Glad you're back and hope you mend well and soon. Can't wait to see the new drive system. Bob
  24. captainbob
    Well done. Now for the, as you called it, fun of furnishing the interior. Bob
  25. captainbob
    Thanks, Patrick. I'm glad you're here. 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.
