    she's look'in good Bob......and likewise.....stay safe. I was look'in on a map cuz I have friends in the Daytona beach area........I see you live north of Tampa. batten down those hatches good!
  2. popeye the sailor
    yup.....that's what I figured Kevin........the first progress picture was what I was thinking of you hadn't made that port side wall yet. I didn't want to comment...but my curiosity got the best of me. that will make for some really neat detail inside.

    thanks Piet

    she's look'in good Russ......nice smooth hull. noting the outlines of the structures on deck, perhaps one use would be as a footing, as one goes fore to aft...or aft to fore.
  5. popeye the sailor
    I'm the same way.....I don't like to paint decks either. as I've seen though, some working boats do tend to have painted decks. it would be safe to say, that the wood grain deck is reserved for the sailing ship and pleasure crafts. I have done it though to a couple of my projects, and I like how they came out. as long as it works well with the subject. love the little boat.......so sweet to see the 'mini me' effect very nicely done........super progress

  8. popeye the sailor

    thank you Nenad

    comparing the picture above with this one, it appears that the hangars are too far back. they should be flush with the aft section of the structure, and appear more boxy. is there a port side outer wall that you haven't added yet? no offence either......always good to know where you are with your project. it is from that picture though, that I see this.......perhaps something you haven't though of yet

    thanks Piet shouldn't be long now noooo that would be one 'plaque' with a very short shelf life! it's hard to find a place where folks can get a decent piece of fish. we have a small family restaurant that does a nice feed........combine that piece of fish with some cole slaw and fries, and I'm happy. we have to go out to Hampton Beach to really get the good stuff.

    really nice progress Dan.....love the way the super structure is shaping up your embracing this medium in a big way...becoming quite good at it in a very short time! very well done!

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.
