    Hi Bob, Its one of those things that when you move , Always for me anyway, one box ends up missing. just so happens to be the Herreshoff. I am thinking that its inside another box I will turn this house upside down again to find it . It was the project that I wanted to start with once the move was done. Best Regards, Pete

    This Morning, I awoke to beautiful Sunshine, so I thought I would finish Fairing Keel # 4 (that I started yesterday) Then I cut out and installed the Cutwater. I then masked the boat off and sprayed 2 coats of white primer . I decided to leave the top board wood and stain it later. I sanded the primer with 400 grit sandpaper here are the results

    Today I had sunshine for about 2 hours, so I got some more fairing done on Keel # 4, (almost there) . On Keel # 5 I glued the frames to the keel making sure everything is square amd plumb to the base line (LWL) I then installed the ribands and Breast hook. ( so far right on the money ) Next fairing the frames and installing the keel battens. Here are the results

    Hey Tom, Thats why I keep building Lobster Boats (every one I build I should have done this or that) We moved north to Rathdrum (temp) and in Aug I will be moving to the Oregon Coast,the Move was gruelling every thing is still in boxes. Best Regards, Pete

    When I woke this morning it is still Raining, so any sanding or finishing will have to wait another day. (Sanding and Finishing has to be done outside New Rules) I went thru my scrap and my lumber yard and relized I could build another one.(Keel # 5) After a few Cups of Coffe I decided to build a Float version (pre R.C.) It will be a no frills version . I just have the itch to build. Here is where I am at so far today

    This morning I awoke to rain, so final fairing on keel # 4 would have to wait. I did find Keel # 3 in a box last night so I was prepared. I started by laying out the fish wells and cutting out the Cabin / Cockpit coaming. When I cut out the fish wells I decided to go with a butterfly style hatch. Then I installed the Cockpit / Cabin coaming. I also checked the rough rudder set up and it works perfect. Here are the results

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.
