    Hi Jesse Really fine details on the sails, which are nicely shaped. It won't be long now before you can place her permanently into the bottle. I'm looking forward to the next update. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Vaddoc Really, really nice! Good to see you back, again, too, by the way, because I've been wondering how your ship was going. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Tony Wow, wow and wow! What an impact the paint job has brought to the overall effect. You must be a pretty dab hand with the paintbrush, because the individual colours stand out cleanly and crisply from one another. No blurring of the colours, there. Overall, I'd have to say that my favourite shot would have to be the stern photo with the emblem. Nice stuff. Cheers Patrick

    Hi everyone Thanks for your comments and likes! Greatly appreciated. Well, tonight I managed to do a bit more on the masts; e.g. some of the rigging attachment points and the two mizzen masted radar domes. I also attempted to fashion the roller furling gear on the bowsprit, although at this tiny scale, it just looks like nothing more than a cylindrical drum on the bowsprit. Oh well, it's the essence that I'm trying to capture, more than anything...well, that's my excuse anyway. I've also jury rigged the rigging (pardon the pun), so that the masts will stay relatively upright. Please excuse having taken the photos in our ensuite bathroom...it's the only room with a light bright enough that would enable the rigging to be seen!!!! Anyhow, pls enjoy these photos. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Piet Those eyebolts certainly wouldn't have been fun to do, but gees, you've done them proud! Nice job. Cheers Patrick

    Nice work, Nenad! The new phone camera is also nice, as evidenced by the increased clarity of the photos. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Igor Lovely work! It's the tiny details like the hinges and portholes on the doors that bring Lena to life for me. I'm looking forward to the next update. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Nils Looking good. Can I ask where you got the really nifty stern decorations from? Or, did you make them? Deck's looking really nice, too, by the way! Cheers Patrick

    Thanks Piet!!!

    Hi Mike, Bob and everyone for their Likes Bob - thanks for your comment about the masts. I reckon she'd be great ship to sail upon, as well. Michael - I also agree that from some angles, the masts do seem really tall. But, I've triple checked their measurements... Gulp...if they're not right! Cheers and all the best Patrick

    Hi everyone Another milestone was reached last night, with Symphony's two masts being stepped (roughly and temporarily, of course, at this early stage). The main boom has also been fashioned along with the spreaders on each mast. Heaps more work to do, though. ' Hope you enjoy these photos. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Jesse She's coming along beautifully and those cannons look great. PS. Is that your Syren making a cameo appearance in the background? If so, nice! Cheers Patrick
  22. Omega1234
    Well done, Igor!!

    Hi Nigel Those window panes look pretty impressive. A real credit to you. Nicely done! Patrick
  24. Omega1234
    Very nice, Richard! Quick question-will you leave the hull unpainted? The natural finish would really set it off nicely, should you choose not to paint her. Cheers Patrick

    Looking really nice, Igôr!!

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.
