    Denis when you finish her up ,you really have to get Clooney to be in the picture with your masterpiece,don't forget in the movie, he was the skipper of the Andrea Gail, even though his acting ability is on par with the Knight Rider's, he's still your best choice :D (for publicity's sake!!)

Denis........ too funny on the deck help!! ....... unfortunately , the only helper I have is me, and To be honest with you, I'm not much help. thanks for the good words!! Hi Augie ........ someone had posted a picture here sometime ago of a ship they had visited, and they showed some really good pictures of the deck, the color was perfect, so that's what I tried to capture . Hopefully the whole deck will come out like the sample I did. Thanks for your nice comment. Frank

Sine last, I've been working mostly on the deck pieces and the bulwark stanchions and trying to get a color I like for the deck planking. After trying a few different shades I settled on one that will be shown in one of the following pictures. I also started to weather the bulwarks a little. Slowly but surely it's starting to come together' Thanks for look'n in. Frank deck planks are ready to be installed This shows the sample of the color I want use for the decking, it's really a little more grayish looking than what the picture shows Hatches finished This is just a messy deck!! Planking the house sides House finished gun assembly adding the stanchions head piece (not finished yet) Stanchions completeport and strbd. painted bulwarks Lastly, starting to weather the inner bulwarks Thanks again for looking in.

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.
