    Hi Dave No stress! At least you have an excuse. I don't (thick as door knob at the best of times!!!). Cheers Patrick

    Hi Mark What a beautiful hull shape. No wonder, they call ships a 'she' - shapely! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Denis I'm loving everything about this ship, from the blunt bow through to the high poop deck at the stern. I'm am surprised though at the amount of colours, which certainly adds to the overall effect. Look forward to more updates. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Richard I agree with George about the lights. She's gonna look great and I'm looking forward to some night time shots! Cheers Patrick

    Thanks Mark!!

    Hi Nick, BDGiantman2, Denis and Carl and everyone who hit the Like button! Nick- thanks for the compliment. Have a go and I'll definitely be following along. It's great fun doing these small models and they take up hardly any space. BDGiantman2 - thanks for your query about the wheel. Yep, there's still heaps more to add, including the stern cockpit's wheel and binnacle, winches, etc. I also have to add the steering wheel in the centre cockpit, life rafts, railings, masts, etc. Denis - thanks. I had thought about doing a collapsed cover, but, it just got too hard; so, I settled for doing it this way. Thanks for your suggestion, though! Carl - thanks. The cardboard mockup certainly looked strange, but at least it did the trick! Cheers and all the best! Patrick

    Hi Dave Nice work! Just wondering, though, if you're meaning to say 'companion ways' instead of champion ways'? Cheers Patrick

    Hi Tony I keep forgetting that you said that this is your first scratch built boat. Damn. She's good! Keep the updates coming. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Igor and Nigel Nigel - I think you're right about the canopy. The more I look at it, the more I agree that it adds a special point of interest to the overall appearance. So, in a way, it's growing on me! Thanks guys! Cheers Patrick

    Hi everyone Many thanks for all of your comments and Likes. Well, after much deliberation, I've decided to go ahead with the canopy, using the cardboard mockup as a template. I've also seen numerous photos of the real ship underway with full sails, with the canopy up; so that was part of my decision to continue with it. Thanks for all of your input. I hope I've made the right decision to go ahead with it! Anyhow, here's the latest photos. Thanks and all the best! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Chrome Performance anxiety??? Nah. As long as you're enjoying your build, so are we all. I'm looking forward to seeing how you pull it all together! I must admit that the use of photo etched brass on the hull is also a stroke of genius. If ever you need help, there's a whole bunch of us on the Forum who'd be willing to assist. All the best Patrick

    Hey Ben! Great kids and bubby looks nice and happy. Who's a proud Dad, then? I know that your Admiral and kids are your first priority at the moment, (as they should be), but I'm looking forward to when the time's right and you're able to get back into the boat and post your next update. All the best Patrick

    Hi Chrome Now that's one very sweet looking hull you're building!!! I'm going to be looking forward to following along. Mind if I pull up a front row seat? Cheers Patrick

    Hi Jesse She's looking great. It's amazing how every little bit of detail that's added, just brings her to life! I especially love the stairs and the ship's boat. Nice job. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Richard That's certainly one beautifully designed hull...loaded with charm and character. You're doing a really nice job of pulling it together, that's for sure! Cheers Patrick
  16. Omega1234
    Ahh. Ok. Makes sense, then. Thanks Igor.
  17. Omega1234
    Uni Igor Nice rigging! One query though. As the bottle has the swirl pattern on it, would the visibility of the ship be impeded? Cheers Patrick

    Hi Frank I've been waiting to hear how you'd gone with the treatment. Sorry to hear that all is not well so far, but pls stay positive and I'm sure it'll all work out. In the meantime, rest up and take it easy. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Denis How could I have missed this build log????? She's looking really nice, especially the ship's boats. Looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do, though! Cheers Patrick

    Hi everyone Thanks for all of your comments and Likes - greatly appreciated! Symphony has a large white collapsible canopy over the main cockpit area to give protection from the weather. As I was curious to see what it'd look like, I did a very rough cardboard mockup of it. To my mind, it looks a bit funny, but oh well, if the real boat has it, I might as well try to replicate it on my model. Also, if you look carefully, you may be able to see that I've planked the bow and stern areas of the deck, thereby leaving the remaining areas of the deck exposed for viewing purposes. Anyhow, here're the latest photos. Cheers and all the best! Patrick

    Hartmut! The hull's looking really nice, especially the fine detail work you're putting into the stem. Nice! I'm looking forward to the next update. Cheers Patrick
  22. Omega1234
    Hi Timmo It's really nice to watch your hull coming together. Nice framing and nice planking! I'm looking forward to your next update! Cheers Patrick
  23. Omega1234
    Hi Bob Looking really nice! Look forward to the next update. Cheers Patrick
  24. Omega1234
    Hi Nigel Really nice work on the windows. But, the balcony deck is just mesmerisingly beautiful. Are you sure that you're not secretly a piano maker by any chance? Cheers Patrick

    Hi Dave She looks absolutely magnificent! Very impressive. I especially like the gild work and the bell tower itself, which is a true reflection of your skills. Can't wait for the next update once you're fully recovered. 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.
