    Great job on the helicopter! It looks much more authentic than mine.

    Congratulations, Ryland, I really enjoyed your build log. Don

    You’re most welcome!

    Patrick, sorry for the late response, just saw this. I’ll check and see if I still have the docs, I normally keep them but it’s been several years- will let you know. Don

    Looking good! I really like what you did with the cabin doors! Don

    Just noticed that the link to Byrnes has been removed - perhaps it’s getting an update?

    Thanks, Bob!

    You’re most welcome, Patrick. If you want, I will send you the fuselage that I didn’t use, just send me a pm with your contact and I’ll get it on the way. It’s partially painted but can be cleaned up. Don

    Patrick, your planking looks great and I’m following your build with interest. One suggestion, I think that there was a passageway between the fore and aft main cabins that is closed if you follow the instructions, which is what I did. I think one of the other builds on here shows it opened up that may be more accurate. Don

    Patrick, Thanks for the kind words, it’s really appreciated! It’s a 1:48 OH13 Sioux made by Italeri and is available from Squadron models online, Squadron.com, and I’m sure other vendors. There are a couple of problems, it’s not historically accurate for the Calypso, and it’s slightly out of scale. I modified it to use the floats that came with the Billings kit. If you can live with the problems, it’s a nice addition. thanks again, Don

    The Billing Calypso is a really fun build but is somewhat crude by today’s standards - lots of room scratch details. For reference, there are several completed builds on this site (use the search function at the top of the home page) and I look forward to watching your progress. Don

    Beautifully done, Ben, I’ve really enjoyed following your build! Don
  14. Nunnehi (Don)
    Nicely done! Have been looking at it for a while and may have to place an order. Don

    Glen, she’s so beautiful on so many levels, well done! Don
  16. Nunnehi (Don)
    Tim, Great news, I really look forward to a visit once you get her in place! Don
  17. Nunnehi (Don)
    Beautifully done!
  18. Nunnehi (Don)
    Beautiful, Glen, just beautiful!
  19. Nunnehi (Don)
    She looks great, Frank, beautifully done! Don

    Rich, That looks great! Really well done! Don

    No words, just stunning…………………..!!! Don

    Hank, FYI, there’s a new Arleigh Burke out from ILoveKits (Trumpeter?) in a 1:200 scale that’s available from Squadron - the reviews I’ve seen are good and I’ve got one on order. The scale is large enough to allow much easier detailing than the others scaled at 1:350, although the case would have to be larger. I have a Byrne’s saw and couldn’t live without it, I really hope that they can continue. Back in the summer, they closed their site to orders for everything except their new disk sander, so I ordered one and it was delivered the same week Jim passed. It’s a real jewel! Jim’s tools are works of art - he will be missed. Don

    Tim, Thanks, I hope you get your communications issues resolved - I am a little over 500 miles from St Louis and will make a special trip there just to see it in person. Don
  24. Nunnehi (Don)
    Glenn, I know I’ve said it before, but that’s some beautiful work! Don
  25. Nunnehi (Don)
    This is simply stunning work- thanks for sharing! Are there plans for public display? Don

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.
