    Happy New Year, Vaddoc That’s a very nice piece of engineering you’ve done. The video shows it off nicely. How come the ‘star of the show ‘ didn’t appear on the vid? He wouldn’t be camera shy, would he???😏😏. Enjoy the New Year festivities. Cheers. Patrick

    Thanks Denis! I agree with you about the ‘vents’ (which are actually full height windows). It’s just another example of where the plans on the Internet differ from how the actual boat was built. Have a great weekend! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Vaddoc Thanks and it’s great to hear from you. Yes, Genesis is surely pushing all my boundaries and comfort zone in terms of what’s possible; but hey, that’s what makes this hobby so much fun. Have a wonderful 2019! Cheers Patrick

    Thanks! And the same to you and your wife and family, as well, Michael! Enjoy and stay safe. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Carl Just catching up. The last photos are great. That was three hours of very productive and satisfying work. Nicely done. Have a wonderful Christmas and an even happier 2019. Cheers. Patrick

    Hi Frank That’s seriously the very best news! I’m glad that life is picking up for you and your family. Have a terrific Xmas and New Year. Cheers. Patrick

    Very impressive, Pat. Best wishes for the season. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Pat Sorry, but Australia Post was late in delivering the tinsel this year😊 Have a great Xmas and New Year. Cheers Patrick

    Merry Christmas folks! Thanks for your comments and Likes. Up amidships on Genesis’ Sky Deck, sits another helm station (for want of a better term), consisting of a large all-weather instrument console and two comfy chairs for the skipper and another crew member. I had a go at doing these last night. As with everything, the up-close photos really magnify each and every mistake. I swear, everything looks fine if you stand a couple of metres away.... Bear with me, I’ll get around to cleaning them up one day😊. Any how, have a great Xmas and a happy 2019. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Carl You’re absolutely right about learning and gaining knowledge from everyone’s builds here. As my Dad used to say, ‘we never stop learning until the day we die’. Keep the updates coming! Cheers. Patrick

    Hi Denis An interesting dilemma you’ve got there. I guess the final decision will be determined by what, in your mind, looks best and makes the most sense. I’m sure that whatever decision you make, it’ll look just right. Go with your instincts. Cheers. Patrick

    Hi Denis What a difference a bit of sandpaper can make, hey? The hull is really looking good now. It won’t be long before you’ll have her fully planked and sanded, sitting proudly upright on the stand. Nicely done. Gave a great Xmas. Cheers Patrick
  21. Omega1234
    Hi Paul Haha. Yeah, I know that the furniture is really ‘way-out’, but I really wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone as far as the decor and furnishings go with this boat. Having said that, I can honestly say that my model is pretty tame compared to the real boat, Khlalilah. If ever you get a chance to google the real boat, you’ll know what I mean...😉. Nothing in that boat is for the faint hearted, I can assure you. All the best Patrick
  22. Omega1234
    Thanks Marcus I’m glad you’re enjoying Genesis’ progress as much as I am. The colours certainly make the model ‘pop’ really nicely. Have a great Xmas! Cheers. Patrick
  23. Omega1234
    Hi Pat Why, oh why, have I not noticed your Build Log before??? I’m kicking myself. Ok, from now on, I’m stepping aboard. I hope there’s enough room onboard? Have a great Xmas and New Year. Cheers. Patrick
  24. Omega1234
    Hi Carl ...thanks...but I’m —also very good at hiding my mistakes...! Cheers Patrick
  25. Omega1234
    Hi Phil Very nice progress. You’re getting one step closer to planking the hull...and then you’ll see your hard work paying off. Thanks. 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.
