    No need to apologize or be quiet. Often times, we do details and later find out that those helped someone else.

    Excellent solution, IMO, Eric. I think they look great.

    Looks fantastic from here, Harvey. Probably even better in person.

    Wow... the green screen backgrounds really bring this bird to life.

    Welcome to MSW, John. I suggest you open a build log as it's the best way to get help when you need and meet others.

    Congratulations on finishing her and the award.

    Beautiful model, Rod

    That's a tough call, Eric. I would guess that you'd want both sides to alike as to letter size, etc.? And I'm guessing that there's no photos of the port side to show the name board?

    I'm sorry to hear about your father, Robert. I do believe Chris has some solid advice and it's worth thinking about. I hope there's a solution to this near your location.

    Nicely painted Keith. Way above my pay grade.

    I have different magnifiers for different tasks. One on a stand, one hand held, and also the kind that sit on your head.

    Welcome back, Chuck. Do give sought to putting the cross-section in a build log. It's the best way to get help and meet others.

    I have an "old" (maybe 15 years old?) MicroMark saw and thickness sander Not as powerful or maybe as accurate as the Byrnes but they've worked for me. Others have similar tools from other manufactureres. Keep your eyes open on Ebay for those as they do pop up from time to time. And they also pop here in "Traders and Dealers" area on MSW.

    Great photos, Eric. Brought back some good memories of sitting on the banks near one of the Locks and Dams (I forget which ones) and having just nice afternoon.

    Welcome to MSW, Lohengrin. Louie da Fly gave you some excellent advice. I would add that buy a kit such as longboat.. something simple to get started and then continue researching here on MSW. There are tutorials for how to plank among other things which will go a long way in getting you on board.

    And not quite big enough to get into and sail it.

    No rush. Bob. Steady as she goes. Also, see the quote in my signature. I think most of us either consciously or subconsciously do this.

    Wow. The low angle photos give an impression of walking down the full size shipyard building slip.

    I'm with Snug Harbor Johnny on this. Even the missed deadeye hole won't be noticed except by you and those of us following your log.

    A very impressive model, Yves. No rush or pressure from us on speed as we've all been there with other projects also.

    Wow.. Looks great, Bob. Congrats on a very well done model and display.

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.
