    Even better than used watch-parts !!!
  2. CaptainSteve
    Really nice contrasts in that hull, Matt !!
  3. CaptainSteve
    Niiiiiiiice !!!
  4. CaptainSteve
    Arrr ... Well since we can hardly name your ship, CaptSteve's Revenge ... what about CaptMorgan's Revenge ?? (I'm hoping that Captain Morgan's rum is a well-known brand States-side, as well as down here in the Antipodes)
  5. CaptainSteve
    Hey Nenad. This is just a suggestion for you, but you might consider using some watch-parts to make the cogs on your windlass. If you do, then you just know I will want to see your windlass in Kit-Basher's ...
  6. CaptainSteve
    An' 'ere I was wondering if five barrels would be enough ??
  7. CaptainSteve
    Tom, Not only will your Connie be as beautiful as the real thing, if you add the pins it seems she will be as strong !!
  8. CaptainSteve
    Great work, Timbers !!! This looks like it's going to be a fun build to follow. (And thanks for the pics of your wiring socket ... I'm working on the very same thing myself at the moment)
  9. CaptainSteve
    Thank you, Mark ... (You, Sir, doth make-eth MSW a most enjoyable experience !!) And, again, thank you to everyone who hath read me log to this point. As mentioned above, I be moving me base o' operations back to me USS Constitution build 'ere ... I be a-hopin' to see you all o'er there to follow the further Adventures o' CaptainSteve ... Me closin' note be this: Shouldst any future builders o' this kit, having suffered through me log and all o' the links a-followin', doth wish to discuss-eth further any o' the points I didst raise throughout me build, then please feel-eth most free to ask-eth o' me !!

    Arrr .. Thank ye, Gentlemen. Nigel. Plenty o' room up the back there ... Or, for the low, low price o' jus' $5000 per week (made payable to MSW), I be certain I can be arrangin' a Deluxe Seat fer ye up front. (Includes snacks) Matt. Since you and the Nutz Brothers phoned ahead then your seats have been reserved.
  11. CaptainSteve
    Looking good, Paul ... real good. How are your gun-port lids coming along ??
  12. CaptainSteve
    $1000 plus per bottle ?!?!?! Do y' have any idea how many cartons of Jim Beam I can get for that ?? (At least two weeks worth, bare minimum !!)
  13. CaptainSteve
    Anton !! You must really hate getting up in the morning to go to work !!! (NOT !!!)
  14. CaptainSteve
    The balustrades and banisters are fantastic. They will make an eye-catching feature on your build, for sure. Nice work !!
  15. CaptainSteve
    Just what I was thinking, Nenad !!
  16. CaptainSteve
    Ahhh ... the perfect home for a runaway piggy.
  17. CaptainSteve
    Love that barrel (or is a barracoe) !!!
  18. CaptainSteve
    Arrr ... That's the reason I give my ships away when I have built them, Nenad. It is not my responsibility to keep them clean.
  19. CaptainSteve
    One final picture 'ere and the rest will appear in the Gallery. The big bloke in the Hi-Viz vest be me mate, CaptainAndrew ... ... 'e does actually smile from time to time, and on this day he was a-mostly smiling. But in this instance, he chose to walk in front of the camera just as his wife were taking some pictures o' his new boat.
  20. CaptainSteve
    Truly, a beautiful job, Matt !! Me hat be off to you and your squirrels !! Sitting in your boss' office, your Launch will be a conversation-starter for years to come !!
  21. CaptainSteve
    Arrrr ... That be true, Matt ... you and I, we both need a Sensei, and his name be Buck !!
  22. CaptainSteve
    Arrr ... Thank ye, Patrick !!
  23. CaptainSteve
    Thank Ye, Tom !!! Most verily, soon I plan on a-following your well-documented foot-steps very closely ...
  24. CaptainSteve
    To be honest, Matt, I'm not entirely certain. I've spent the better part o' the last two years a-following various threads in the hope o' discovering the 'real' Connie .... and, yet, the very best that the most extensive research can come-eth up with, for any given date, wouldst most verily be a wildly-speculative 'guess-timate' !! I can only surmise that you will have to follow along and see what results ... as will I !!! PS: I DO plan on adding LED lights !!!
  25. CaptainSteve
    Seriously, Buck ?? Not taking anything away from Matt, but surely yours has to be the tallest step-ladder o' the lot of us !!!

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.
