    Yvesvidal, thanks, I agree although not historically accurate. Don

    Lou, I took your suggestion about using the OH-13 Sioux as a replacement for the kit helicopter after seeing someone who did it on, I think, Facebook. While not at all historically accurate, I think it looks nice and really completes the model. Thanks, Don

    Thanks, Bob, for the kind words, it’s appreciated! How are you coming on your Flirt? Don

    Thanks, Rusty, I really appreciate it, especially since your Winnie really sets the standard on how to build her - yours is beautifully done! Don

    Dusan, Thanks much for the kind words and for following my build, I really appreciate it! Don

    Thanks, JJ, I appreciate it! I’ve been following your build and it’s really the next level, your joinery is so precise, something I haven’t quite mastered yet. Yes, am looking for a case and mounting hardware - suggestions welcome. My son, his wife, and my two new grand babies live in Portland and we’ll be there in a couple of weeks. We’re considering moving out there to be close, and Bend is one of the places we’ve been looking at. Thanks again, Don

    Thanks, Glenn, I really appreciate it. Your build is looking great! By the way, I’m using your Cheerful as my primary reference for the build - it’s so nicely done! Don

    I’ve got one bottle of 5-O ocean gray MM # 2157 that may be useable that I’ll be happy to send to you. PM me with your address. I will die mad about what MM did! Don

    I’m calling her finished - here’s some final pics……… and what’s next……..

    That looks great, Glenn - the detail and precise fit really makes her pop! I’m really enjoying following your build. Don

    JJ, Fred, Chuck, Glenn, Bob, and Rusty, thanks much for the kind words, I really appreciate it! Fred, yes, I’m happy with it and have learned tons about how to do this. Thanks also for the Grandchildren comments, I’ll be 73 in a couple of weeks and these are my first - unfortunately they are on the other side of the country from us here in Alabama. Chuck, my next project is Cheerful and have already gotten a bit of a start - am really being careful with the fairing so I don’t have the problems I’m having now. Also, please put me on your Speedwell list. Thanks again, guys Don

    I just realized that it’s been almost a year since my last post and three years since I started this log. Much has happened since last June including the Admiral’s knee replacement surgery that developed major complications, and the arrival of our first Grandchildren, twin boys! Progress on the Winnie has been slow, but I’m in the home stretch and should be finished in a couple of weeks. There are still a few tweaks and paint touch ups that are needed, but I’ve installed the headrails and other bow stuff. Because of some early fairing errors, the port and starboard bow shape is not symmetrical, which has really complicated everything. I’ve tried to compensate, but getting the shapes right is probably the most difficult modeling challenge I’ve ever experienced. Anyway, here’s some pics. Don

    Rusty, you have created a masterpiece, she’s beautiful! I have really enjoyed following along and look forward to what comes next! Don

    She looks great, Glen - beautiful work! Don

    Matthias, that’s some really fine work! 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.
