    Hi  Tony........... How true, How true, ( about the wrinkles ) :D . I'm not sure what I want to do next. I have 3 kits , MSW Baltimore, AL Swift (1989)version

    and an Amati Bomb Ketch. I don't have a feel for either of them.   :(  I've been looking at AL Marina ll ,which is a nice little tug and an AL Chinese junk . :P I really like both of these.

    I'll wait a little though, I might do some armor I have too, just to break away for awhile . We'll see..... take care my friend, thanks for looking in.

    Before I thank every one I have a couple questions I'd like to ask...... First ...... if you notice, there are no ratlines on this ship....my question is , how did they get up to the yards to fix the sails?........ Secondly..... look at the bottom of the fore mast and see how crowded it is with the hatch and pin rack..... how could they work the ropes ? ,,, Thanks...

     

     

     

    Michael....... Thank you for your nice comments...always appreciated.

     

    Dan      .......  Nice of you to stop by and  comment,, thanks.

     

    Sjors  .......    Not sure what my next one will be .... maybe some armor for a change.... I'll see...Thanks!!

     

    Dirk    ......... Like I told Sjors not sure what I'm going to do...... thanks again Dirk for your build log it helped me tremendously!!!

     

    Peter  ........  Thanks for stopping by..... I used 4mm metal rings to attach the fore sails.

     

    Kevin .......   Glad you likes the sails, it was fun doing them...thanks 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.
