Hi FMartins. I agree with Mark, as well. Any plan is a good plan. Just stick at it and the rewards will flow. Cheers Patrick -
HI everyone Well...life's just been getting in the way lately and sadly, that's meant that I've fallen way behind in following all my MSW Friend's logs. So, Denis (Popeye), Nils (Mirabella), Cog (Carl), Steamschooner, Mark Taylor, Lawrence, Frank (Mahuna), Piet, Nenad and everyone else that I may have missed mentioning, please accept my apologies. I will get back on track and start following your logs again, soon! Anyhow, back onto Shadow's journey, I've continued on with her Upper Deck's accommodation; principally her VIP guest suite, a staircase that leads up to the Sun Deck, and a myriad other tiny details which are too numerous to mention. I'll let the following photos illustrate Shadow's progress to date. Have a great week folks and thanks for all of your comments and Likes! Much appreciated. Cheers Patrick

Ahah Denis!!!! So this is what you've been up to. I was reading your Thermopylae log this morning, in which you referred to the 'Jolly Roger' kit and I said 'what's he going on about? Now, after visiting this Log, it all makes sense, now. My God, you work fast!!! You've done more work in three weeks than I would do in a year. Mighty fine work, too. I especially like the paint finishing with the flat black paint that you've done, It gives the hull a really nice and authentic effect. Keep up the great work Cheers Patrick

Hey Denis I've finally had a chance to catch up with your Thermie! Woohoo!!!! What a brilliant job you've done so far. The stern railing looks especially good. It's also amazing to see how much each individual piece of detail changes the overall look of the ship; from the cannons and the pumps, through to the fife rails...what a nice job. Keep up the great work. Cheers Patrick

Thanks Frank Now, about that bottle of Dom P and glasses...mmmm. It could be worth a try, but my chances of success at this scale...Ah, well, what the heck😊, why not, just for fun. Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi Dwalker I really like what you've done with this tug. The hull looks great, as does the superstructure. A tantalising glimpse of the bent frames through the companionway also conveys a nice impression of how these ships were constructed. Nice job and I look forward to following along. Cheers Patrick

Hi Lawrence Thanks for your compliments, especially about the level of detail that I've packed into Shadow. You know, I reckon that no matter what size we build our models, it'll all work out as long as we love what we're doing. The same goes for your Golden Hinde. Well, that's my theory anyway. Thanks heaps and have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi Greg Many thanks! I'll try, but I can't guarantee that they'll be 'good looking'😉. Have a great day. Cheers Patrick

Hi Paul Many thanks! Yep, you're right about the crew. The only trouble is that I've never made figures as tiny as they would need to be for this ship...but alas, nothing ventured, nothing gained. It'll be well worthwhile giving it a go! Have a nice night. Cheers Patrick

Hi folks I hope you're all going well. Meanwhile, back on Shadow's Sun Deck, I've added a bit more stuff, principally the bar that sits just aft of the spa, as well as some assorted cabinetry for the guests. At the aft of the deck, I've added a tiny round gold coloured table, adorned by two chairs for guests to sip cocktails as Shadow sails off into the sunset. Lastly, I've added some 'artistic' shots of Shadow; you know, just to get the imagination flowing... I hope you enjoy the remainder of your weekends. Cheers Patrick

Hi WB I'm in. I got hooked the moment I read the title of your log. I'm looking forward to following along. Cheers Patrick

Thanks Vaddoc!!!! If only I was tiny enough to luxuriate on the sunbed...I'd be a happy Chappy.... Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi Meddo Thanks for your compliments about the photos. To be honest, I wasn't sure how well the photos would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised! Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi Greg Many thanks and it's great to hear from you. I was wondering how you've been over the past few weeks. I hope all's well at your neck of the woods! Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Many thanks for the compliments! I'm not actually a Walking Dead fan, but I remembered that you are, judging by the references you've previously made in your logs. I reckoned you might get a kick out of it😏! Meanwhike, I've been a bit slack lately and because of that, I've got a lot of catching up on a whole bunch of logs; yours included. Maybe this weekend. Have a great day. Cheers Patrick

Hi Carl Many thanks - It's a pleasure pulling Shadow into shape. Needless to say, I'm thoroughly enjoying building this ship. Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone Thanks for your Likes and following along. Greatly appreciated. Over the past few days, I've continued to add a bit more to Shadow's Sun Deck, principally, the large white sun baking settee situated on the aft of the deck. To add further interest, I've added some different coloured scatter cushions. I've also started to flesh out a bit more of the detailed work surrounding her spa, situated at the forward end of the Sun Deck. Lastly, I thought I'd take some photos of Shadow alongside photos of the real ship that Shadow is based upon (i.e. Mary Jean II). As you can see, I've got a long way to go before I can truly say that Shadow's finished. I hope you have a great week, folks! 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.
