    Hi Vaddoc Not only would Tad Roberts be impressed, but so would the American Team be as well. I reckon you've captured the spirit of the full size boat really nicely and it shines through especially in the comparison photos (last two shots above). Nicely done! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Altalena Love that deck and the cockpit planking. Really nice. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Cathead I understand the predicament you're in about the planking/no planking. I have my personal preference, of course, but the decision is up to you. I'm sure whichever way you go, your ship's gonna be a beauty! Can't wait for the next update, so, keep 'em coming. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Frank Marvellous stuff! I especially like the fact that you added the decorative strips because they add so much value to the stern's appearance. Nice! Still can't believe you made those G Clamps, as well. Well done. Cheers Patrick

    Hi all Just a bit of an update. I'm still working on the Portside stateroom double suite and also the owner's stateroom bathroom. Still more work to go, but, it's fun and satisfying. Keeps me off the streets! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Frank Definitely, very, very nice! Well done Cheers Patrick

    Hey Ben and Mrs Ben Congratulations!!! That's wonderful news and I hope that both mum and Bub are doing really well. I think you have a good excuse for the long delays between posts, because hobbies definitely take a back seat when the bubs come along. All the very best to you all. Cheers Patrick

    Thanks Ben!

    Hi Pete and Bob. Many thanks! Bob- I can relate to what you're saying about the finishing....I often wonder why I'm spending so much time doing the trim when it'll hardly be seen once the deck is on, but, like your carpenter-scout master must've thought, it just has to be done, otherwise, it just won't be finished! Pete- thanks for following along. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Carhead Fantastic job so far. I especially like the framework. It'd almost be a shame to cover it, but cover it, you must, I'm sure, I'm looking forward to your next update. Cheers Patrick

    Sounds good, Nigel. Looking forward to following along.

    Hi Nigel Wow! That quarter gallery window looks damn good! Seriously nice. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Frank She's really shaping up to be a beauty! You can't beat these old hulls because the designers had a real knack for designing hulls with lovely complex curves and lines. Wonderful stuff and a great job on the planking, too. Thanks Patrick

    Hi Marty Thanks and greatly appreciated! All the best Patrick

    Hi Vaddoc Nicely done! She's looking really spiffy, I must say. My only thoughts, are, as you've mentioned. The underwater hull could've been matt, whereas the White may be painted gloss white. But, no dramas, a bit of varnish may rectify that, if you wish...but only if you see it as a problem which needs rectification. If not, you could leave it because it looks good just the way it is now. Other than that, you gotta be really happy because she's coming along brilliantly! Well done Patrick

    Hi everyone Many thanks for all of your comments, likes and encouragement! It's all greatly appreciated. I've been chipping slowly away at Symphony's interior, lately. Most of it may NOT look like much, (e.g. trimming and adding details such as doors, and a double bed in the port side double stateroom, and associated other things, etc), but when all put together, it all adds up. Everything's still loosely placed in the hull, though, so it still looks a bit wonky. More work yet to go. Here are the latest photos. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Dennis It's great to hear about happy people and happy relationships...not being melodramatic of course, but there's just so much crappy stuff happening in the world at the moment, that it's nice to hear something positive. On that note - Congratulations! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Jo Many thanks for clarifying the Copyright issue. Interestingly, we have an Aussie billionaire who is planning to build a Titanic replica at $500 million AUD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_II). Based upon your info above, I'd imagine that there'd be no copyright issues to overcome as it's more than 100 years ago? Cheers Patrick

    Hi Alex Oh, ok...a really, really, long journey then. I hope she arrives safe and sound. No doubt it'd be a stressful time for you whilst she's in transit, so, I wish you well. Cheers Patrick
  20. Omega1234
    I'm speechless, Alex!!! You must be intending to take it on a long drive, maybe???

    Hi Ben ...how does the saying go? "Necessity is the mother of invention?" Nice job! Cheers Patrick
  22. Omega1234
    Hi Frank It's a joy to watch you pulling this ship together. I especially like the nice effect you've achieved with the windows. Nice! Cheers Patrick
  23. Omega1234
    Hi Bob You can't ignore a beautiful hull when you see one...and the Dragon is certainly nice and streamlined. I like! Can't wait for the next update, that's for sure. Cheers Patrick
  24. Omega1234
    Hi Doris Happy birthday to you, as well! Cheers Patrick

    Nice work there, Pete!

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.
