Hi folks Thanks for all of your Likes and comments! I’ve put a halt to all building works in order to concentrate on the painting of the hull and superstructure. I’ve opted for full gloss paints for the hull and superstructure; which, I feel is entirely appropriate, especially given that the full-sized boat is full gloss (well, that’s my excuse, anyway). Now, without further ado, can someone pls tell Luke Skywalker that his spaceship is almost ready to be picked up from the maintenance shop? I hope you enjoy these photos. Thanks Patrick

Hi Frank It’s great that you’re back on deck and able to get some work done on Kathryn. Superb work, as always. All the best. Cheers Patrick

Hi Marcus I’m loving the colours and overall look and feel of this boat of yours. I’m not quite sure what it is about this particular design of boat, but I reckon it looks pretty darn special. Lots of charm and loads of character; all of which you’re capturing really well. You’re definitely on a winner, there. Pls keep the updates coming. Cheers Patrick

Hi Keith Your prop - now, that’s an absolutely magnificent piece of metal workmanship. It definitely sets the standard for the rest of the build. I’m glad That you’re able to start making sawdust now, too. Cheers Patrick

Hi Josh Great job on the hull and decking so far. I reckon she’s going to shape up to be a little beauty. Good luck with the rest of the build. I’ll be watching and enjoying the journey. Cheers Patrick

Hi folks Thanks for all of your Likes and comments. Appreciated, as always. I decided to have a go at doing Genesis’ RIB tender. The photos are pretty self-explanatory, but suffice to say, there’s a fair way to go, before I can call this tender ‘finished’. It’s a start, though. Have a great night. Cheers. Patrick

Hey Steve What a top job you’ve done on the John Cudahy. It was unfortunate about snipping the wrong wire, but, you got over that pretty easily by the looks of it. You’re on the home stretch now. Not long to go. Cheers Patrick

Many thanks Marcus. Yep, tiny for sure! So tiny, that I lost three previous chairs to the carpet monster earlier that night. Hungry little beast, that carpet monster😉😉😉 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.
