    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

    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.

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.
