    Wayne......... thanks for dropping by, glad you liked it, I'm just glad it finally got finished !! Sherry ......... Thank you too for look'n in. The more I got into the weathering process , the more I wondered if I was doing the right thing , but now that it's finished I'm pleased with most of it. Augie .......... I was happy to have you on board, your encouraging remarks always helped to keep me going. I have two kits in the closet, Amati's Bomb Ketch, and Kricks Alert.

    Well here it is folks........... the final update !!!!!......... and I must say, it's about time... whew!!, for awhile there I thought I'd never get this finished. Any how, here's a few pictures ,hope you like them, and again thanks to everyone here who helped me to put this together you've heard of a skeleton crew, well when it came time to placing the figures, I realized I didn't have a figure for the tiller , so I made a wire skeleton fig.to fill in. Next time I go to Michaels I'll get some clay and try my luck at making a figure. That's it, I have a couple more different shots that I'll add in the gallery. Thanks for look'n in. Frank

  23. riverboat
    Wow!! what great news Tony, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, how sweet it is to have one's work displayed in a museum. I'm happy to hear that your talents were recognized . Good show mate!!! Frank
  24. riverboat
    Augie nice job on the windows.... both the clear and antique looking glass look real good, I'm still trying to decide which look is best... right now I'm leaning a little more to the clear, maybe it's just because the latter would be hard to look thru..... but then again you have the model right in front of you, so you have a better look at it, which ever you choose I'm sure will look great !! Frank

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.
