    I'm sorry to hear the news about Sam. Hopefully he can return to us in good health. Best of luck on the figurehead, Bob.

    Good to be back! But from the looks of it I'll be reading for the next month to catch up to you all. Thanks for all the good wishes ---- and the lantern!!!! Checked in on Confed and she looks fine but it will take a week to get back to the shipyard. Glad I have this log to remind me where I am.

    If they were mine I might put them in a safety deposit box rather than on the ship!

    Wow---I go away for a few days and come back to a 1/2 completed ship. Nice catch there, Frank.

    Pumps look right on!

    Love the tones on the cannon. Sorry 'bout the aches and pains. Look at the brite side --- they get worse when you hit 70!

    Thanks to all for the good wishes. Ken ---- thanks for the kind comments. On the missing photos, yes, it was an MSW glitch. Unfortunately, I didn't save the photos this time around so I have no way of replacing them. However, the process is well detailed, with photos, in the instruction manual for Confederacy which can be found at the following link from Model Expo: http://www.modelexpo-online.com/images/docs/MS2262/MS2262-CONFEDERACY-Instructions%20-%20WEB.pdf It's a long download. The specifics you're looking for are on about pages 46-52.

    Great idea on the cradle, my friend. And you didn't need any drop planks or stealers !!!!!

    It's time to close down the shipyard and head 'Over There' on vacation. Keep a lantern aglow in the stern galleries so we can catch up to the Fleet again in mid-October. I wish everyone smooth sailing and good progress in the interim. Leave me lots of catching up to do when I get back. Fare thee well, mates !!!!

    Good morning. Hope the nights' sleep brought some revelations and confidence. Works for me!!!!

    Your primer coat looks better than some of my paint jobs. Good progress!

    Spectacular stern. Take a well deserved bow!
  17. augie
    Same sentiment here!

    Really good stuff there, Grant. You have the patience of a saint.

    What happened to the bus? There's some good looking guy in your avatar now!
  20. augie
    Your extra effort is paying off in spades!

    Be interested to hear your opinion of the parts themselves and the service provided.
  22. augie
    Welcome back, indeed! Great to see your progress.
  23. augie
    Looks good from here!

    So you are describing two compound curves, in opposite directions, coming smoothly together on the same 'piece' or section. That had to be a serious challenge to get symmetrical. Well done, Mark.

    I think we all know just how much work is represented in this update. A very, very fine job, SIR.

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.
