Hi Nils Nice! However....Somehow, I think you must be really itching to get the planking done, so that you can lay the first metal plate! I know, because I would be, if I were you. Nonetheless, I'm sure you're still loving seeing the hull take shape after each additional plank is laid, just as much as we all are. I'm happily looking forward to your next update, as always. Cheers Patrick

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 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 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

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 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

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.
