    Hi jhenrique Can I offer a suggestion - It may help if we understood what you needed it for, or what you intended to do with these detailed drawings? For example, are you intending to build one? If we knew that, I'm sure people here would be able to help you better. Cheers Patrick

    Hi everyone Vaddoc gave me a great idea, which was to do a tiny model boat to display inside Symphony. Well, I had a go and came up with this gaff rigged cutter. It's tiny, but with a bit of imagination, you can just make it out. Here goes. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Bob, Vaddoc and Carl and everyone else for hitting the Like button! Many thanks as always! Carl- thanks for your compliment, which is greatly appreciated. Vaddoc- funny you mention about a ship model, because the full sized boat actually has a large twin funelled steamer-type model on display, according to one of the photos I've found. Mmmm, now maybe you're onto something; albeit not a similar type ship, but something a bit more achievable at less than a centimetre long! Bob- Thanks. The cupboard's red top is Australian Jarrah, which contrasts nicely against the wattyl veneer. Thanks everyone, as always Patrick

    Hi Vaddoc She's coming along beautifully. The laminated knee looks great! It's amazing how something so seemingly insignificant can have such a structurally important function, but then again, without it, the risk to the full sized stern being damaged in rough weather would be pretty high. Overall, nicely done as always! Cheers Patrick

    I used to do the same with my transmitters as well.

    Thanks, Igor!

    Hi everyone A quick update. I've started on the curved cupboard which sits on the starboard side of the saloon. Aft of the curved cupboard sits the navigation station. Still lots of work to go. Hope you enjoy. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Igor There you go again, with that massive giant matchstick again!!!! But, we're not fooled. We know that it's another tiny masterpiece taking shape. Nicely done, as always. All the best! Patrick

    Hi Steve Very nice work, there! Well done. Cheers Patrick

    Hah, Carl. You're most probably very correct! Retirement is meant to be fun, for sure. All the best! Patrick

    Hi Nils She's looking darn good!!!! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Igor Nice and neat job on the deck planking! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Mark I feel with your new toy that you may make a killing taking orders for jobs? I'm sure there's plenty of international customers who'd be lining up to have parts cut. It might become a real little earner for you! I'll take my 20% cut, of course. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Igor Great job on the hull. Seeing as it looks like a full hull that you're building, will t be set into a sea, or be made freestanding? Cheers Patrick

    Ahah Igor, so this is the Lena you were mentioning in your other log... Nice choice and a very interesting subject to model. I'll definitely follow along with my popcorn and chair! Front row seat. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Dennis Thanks. The curved bit on the floor is the template for a curved cupboard. Aft of the curved cupboard is the navigation station. I also need to build the actual fireplace itself, perhaps out of shim brass or copper, as in the real ship's hearth. But, that'll be done a bit later on, once I finish the curved cupboard. Still lots of work to go, but it keeps me off the streets! Cheers and thanks Patrick

    Hi Mobbsie Thanks! Absolutely no need to kick yourself, because it's great to have you on board. Please feel free to stick around and enjoy the journey! All the best Patrick

    Hi Ben Thanks for the compliments! Cheers and all the best Patrick

    Hi Igor Another SIB project? Any hints???? Cheers Patrick
  21. Omega1234
    Hi Igor Nicework, as always! Just curious what you're waiting for? Cheers Patrick

    Hi Frank Okay, okay, okay, I have gained even more respect and envy of your skills. All it took was just one look at your figurehead made from clay and the other one in wood. Very nice! Cheers Patrick
  23. Omega1234
    Hi Steve I've just stumbled onto your tug boat. What a beauty and I also love the fact that you're detailing the interior, including the engine as well. Mind if I pull up a chair and join in the fun? Cheers Patrick
  24. Omega1234
    Hi Dave A milestone over and that cold one beckons! You definitely deserve it for a job well done. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Cathead The framing of your hull is deliciously good and I love it. I echo Mark's comments about you doing whatever works best for you, because you're the boss! I'm looking forward to your next instalments. 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.
