Hi Dennis Good question! I was going to do a port side, but the risk of getting variations between the exact shapes was too high. So, I'Ve decided to do the reverse technique; which should guarantee that the left and right sides match. Thanks and all the best Patrick

HimJerry Those bitts look really good. The sailor standing next to one of them emphasises the fact that they must've been pretty substantial in size, especially given the sorts of strain that the rigging would've placed upon them. Cheers Patrick

Hi Jan What a beautiful set of models you've built. Out of interest, how will you be displaying them? On a single display board as a fleet? Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor Really nice work! I especially love the way it's all coming together into another tiny masterpiece. The ships boats you've built were also very nice. Which ship do they belong to, out of interest? Cheers Patrick

Hi Nils Thanks. Interesting method is true because this is the first time I've tried it. Hopefully it'll work. If it doesn't ...oh well...it'll be a case of going back to the drawing board. I'm pretty confident, it'll be ok, though. Finger's crossed. Cheers Patrick

Hi Dimitris Sorry to hear about your Hard Drive. It's typical of modern technology, I guess....'it's great when it works and a real pain when it doesn't'... I I hope you can get it sorted soon. Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone Many thanks for all your comments and likes! I've made some progress over the weekend. This includes cutting the half hull into sections so that I can get the frame templates. I've also cut the keel as well as a template of the side profile of the whole hull. This week I'll cut out the frames and glue them to the building board. Slow work, but fun! I hope you enjoy the photos. Cheers Patrick

Hah Dimitris I'm not sure you'd trust me!!! Knowing me....I'd probably well and truly stuff'em up! Very flattering, though. Cheers and all the best Patrick

Hah! Nice story, but it seems you haven't learnt your lesson because you're doing it to us now!

Hi Ben Not only is that a nice update on your progress, but I also now have you to blame because I can't get the Thole Man out of my head! I swear if I go to bed still singing it..... All the best! Cheers Patrick

Yep, me too! I still hanker after the good ole days when I used to sail my scale RC yachts. But, I can live those memories through the current RC build logs on MSW, eg this one, Jerry Todd's, Qwerty's (Lextin) Benside and others. Count me in! Cheers Patrick

Hi Dennis Absolutely super detailing, especially with buoys, the flags, the chains, blocks, etc. Amazing stuff. The only that could make this more real, would be to have George Clooney, some fish on deck, a crate or two, a spot of rust and maybe some carelessly coiled ropes strewn about the deck. You gotta be pretty chuffed with your AG, for sure! Cheers Patrick

Hi Row Many thanks! It's still early days yet, but, yeah, I hope to be able to do the design justice. Fingers crossed! Cheers and 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.
