    Glad to see you back at it once again! I’ve also been looking at Harpy, looks like a fun kit.

    Fun stuff making the little sticks fit, but it looks so good when it’s finished. Your journey is near the end. Great work Ben!

    Just catching up on your log. Very nice work and progress. I enjoy watching another Cheerful coming to life. Well done!

    It’s your model and your choice. Not sure how anyone can claim to know the shade of paint on a ship that hasn’t existed for hundreds of years. I also like it, very striking. Beautiful work, exquisite detail.

    I have 13 models sitting about the house, none have cases. They are all fine, easy to view and seemingly much more a part of the home furnishings, at least to me. Dust is not a major issue, there just not that much of it. I turn them every 3-6 months and use a blower (not a high powered air can , but a more gentle blower) and soft brush to remove the dust that has collected. My oldest model was built in 2006. This process works for me, I just don’t like the concept of hiding them behind acrylic.

    Nothing here to dread it seems, very nice work.

    Your usual stellar work. Good luck with the move, never fun.

    Yours is such a great build. The paintwork is especially nice. I understand a bit about slowing down, I was a little reluctant to finish mine, it having occupied me for three years.
  30. glbarlow
    Thank you all for the gracious comments. I really enjoyed this build, a little sad it’s finished.
  31. glbarlow
    Glad yoy find it helpful, that is always my goal for my logs. It’s a great build for sure.
  32. glbarlow
    Cutting out a copy of the stern is a good idea, something I did as well in fact I had two copies of the plans, one just for cutting out various pieces. Glad my log is helpful.
  33. glbarlow
    Very nice work, as always.
  34. glbarlow
    Hopefully you haven’t done this yet. These don’t get cut down for a while but the do get cut down in a curve higher than bulwarks. I believe I showed my wale placement in my log, it worked out well as I did it. You are correct to check. Every step at this point of the build is critical to your future success.

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.
