Hi everyone By jove, I think I'm getting the hang of this superstructure riddle! Slowly, by slowly, it's starting to come together. It's been a long haul, but at least I'm getting there. Still a bucket load of work to go, though. My son took the following photos; hence why they're better than anything I could do. Have a great New Year and thanks to all who commented and hit the Like button! Cheers Patrick

Yep! Gotta agree with Bob. The hull is looking great after the filling and sanding. It looks like it won't be long before you could actually do a floatation trial. If so, I'd look forward to seeing that! Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Just a thought...and a very laborious solution, perhaps. Could you use some sort of stencil to cut the exact shape of each mesh panel out of coloured plastic (like cellophane) and place it in each panel. You could then sandwich them in between two clear sheets of plastic. Could work quite well, but it'd be fiddly for sure. But that way, you'd Be pretty close to simulating a stained glass panel. Anyhow, just me thinking wildly... Cheers Patrick

Hi Willie Woohoo! She's looking great, especially with the varnish on her. Very nice. Hopefully the sea-trial voyages will be next. All the best! Patrick

Hi Mark Absolutely love what you've achieved so far. Just the symmetry of the planking on the port and starboard sides of the hull, (ie when viewed from astern), is marvellous, not to mention the stern framing. Now that's care and precision, for ya. Nicely done. Cheers Patrick

Hi Michael I agree with Bob and Pete. Boy, you're moving fast! Nonetheless, there's no mistaking the shapely lines of the hull coming through. Very nice. I also love the way that your Bristol cutter makes a cameo appearance in the background. She must be itching to get into the water once finished Cheers Patrick

Thanks David!! Michael Mott gave me a few good pointers in an earlier post about mouldings, but I haven't tried it yet. Maybe I might give it a go for the cabins, but I'm not sure yet. Knowing me, I'd probably stuff them up. Thanks Steamschooner! I hope you're having a great Christmas today and all the best for 2016. Cheers Patrick

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.
