Thanks George! All the best for Christmas and 2016! The watch was a gift to me that I bought from my redundancy payout. Not that I needed another watch, but this one was too good to walk away from. I just had to buy it!! Cheers Patrick

Nice work, Mark. If I was you, I'd be eagerly cutting the hull free from the base board...but then again, I'm sometimes not the most patient guy. All the best to you and Janet for Christmas and the New Year. Happy health to Janet as well! Cheers Patrick

Hi Willie You're almost done! I've really enjoyed following along, especially watching your videos, so it'll be a shame to see your log end. I gotta admit though, she's looking like she's meant for business with that battering ram. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that. All the best for Christmas and 2016. Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone and best wishes for Christmas and New Year!!! I've not been able to do much lately. However last night, I managed to do a bit more work on the mock up of the superstructure. This time, I used the actual shapes of the superstructure to get a better approximation of what she'll look like, as well as helping me to work things out better. Still lots of fun, to go. The photos below show a bit more of the beauty of the shape beginning to shine through. Also,for those of you who are watch lovers, the watch is a Ball HydroCarbon DeepQuest; a professional divers watch made out of a solid block of Titanium and rated to a depth of 10 000 feet (3000 metres)! Oh, by the way, for those in the US, 'Ball' is an American owned company, who build their watches in Switzerland. All the best! Patrick

Hi Matti Lovely work, especially the use of the oak stain to give the hull's planking the weathered look. Really, really nice. Cheers Patrick

Hi Mehmet Very nice. I still can't quite get over how realistic she looks! Have a great Christmas and New Year. Cheers Patrick

Hi Mark I'm not having much luck searching for the "The Rope" website, but I did find a photo on Bob Riddoch's post (http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/1710-38th-the-rope-exhibition-tokyo-japan/) of the exhibition in 2013. Looks interesting. Cheers Patrick

Hi Moxis I'm pushing my way in so that I can get a front row seat! I don't want to miss out on following along, so I'm pulling up my chair and popcorn. Cheers and all the best for Christmas and 2016. Patrick

Hi Mark You've got me intrigued now! Did you get to peek a look at your pressie? Can you divulge? On the other hand, being an ex-Marine, you wouldn't have peeked, would you? Cheers Patrick

Hey Pete Silly question time - how did you manage to stain the bulkheads without the stain running onto the planking? I know there's got to be a trick to it! All the best for Christmas and the New Year. Cheers Patrick

Hi Ben There are two central staircases in the hull, but, you're right, at this scale, they'll be tiny. It may be just as easy to make each deck completely removable from the next. Still undecided, though. Great advice and greatly appreciated. All the best for Xmas and 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.
