Hi Paul Welcome aboard and thanks for joining Shadow's journey. I'm pleased that you like her! Thanks also, for the suggestion about the diorama. Mmm...food for thought. Who knows...I may give that some serious consideration Thanks and I hope that you can drop by often. Cheers Patrick

Hi Vaddoc Great to hear from you again. Now...about those chairs and placemats. I have no explanation!! I swear I was sober when I built them that night..... Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Back on Shadow's construction journey, I've decided to tackle her Workshop/Ship's Storeroom and Electrical Generator Rooms which are located in the focsle of the ship. These rooms are only accessible by their respective doors in the foredeck of the ship. To be really honest, I have no idea what these rooms look like on the real ship, because I don't have any photos. All I've got is a blurry low res lines-drawing on the plans I'm using. But, hey, with a bit of imagination, I've managed to hobble something together that looks reasonably convincing..well I hope so, anyway! I hope you enjoy the photos. Cheers Patrick

Hi Frank She's really coming along beautifully! There's no doubting the shapeliness of the sharpie's hull design, especially now that the deck clamps have been installed. Yep...Lovely...Shapely...yet Precise. Cheers Patrick

Many thanks, Frank. I like that last photo, as well. In fact, as I'm working on her day in, day out, I kinda forget just how tiny Shadow really is...ie until I look at photos of her in my hand. It's then that I think, 'yep, tiny alright'! Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Cheers Patrick

Hi Nils - many thanks! I'm glad you like Shadow. Actually, it just dawned on me, that she's not much bigger than those lovely lifeboats on your KWdG liner! Hi Denis. Thanks. Mmmm, now lets see, we don't get a lot of Martha Stewart here in Oz, but I do recall that she did 'her time to pay for her crimes'😉. No problems though, any celebrity endorsements are gratefully accepted. Have a great weekend, Nils and Denis. Cheers Patrick

Hi Nils You know what? Regardless of whether you're taking close-up photos, or those long full-hull shots, there's no denying it....your KWdG is just simply marvellous. Rich in details and character. She's a joy to look at. Cheers Patrick

Hi folks Thanks for all of your comments and Likes! I'm glad that you're enjoying Shadow's journey! I've almost finished the construction of the Owner's Stateroom. As you can see, the king sized bed now has a mattress, an assortment of pillows and a throw rug casually draped over the foot of the bed. Adjoining the bed are two arm chairs with a small wall-unit in the centre. Off to one side of the room, the three seater settee now has cushions and some scatter pillows; whilst directly in front of the settee is a metallic gold coloured coffee table. On the other side is situated the office desk, accompanied by it's own office chair. All in all, I reckon it's all coming together really nicely. I hope you enjoy these photos. Cheers Patrick

Hi Greg - always great to hear from you. I gotta say that the addition of glasses, a printer and laptop is a great idea. Now, if only I could pull them off...it'd be a big achievement, for sure! Hi Piet-great to hear from you again. I'm glad you're enjoying Shadow's construction; although the crystal decanter may be a 'big ask"....but, I'll try! Hi Mark - many thanks for your comments, which are always gratefully appreciated. Please don't walk away too far...I want you around to drop in often to enjoy Shadow's voyage.

Thanks Jeff! Lots of work to go, though, but heaps of fun at the same time. Have a great weekend. Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Many thanks for your comments. Greatly appreciated, as always. I guess I was a bit naughty because I defiled the sponge, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do to make the interior look good! I'll send you a big pat on the head, as well. Cheers Patrick

Hi Ben Many thanks for your compliments about the superstructure. It was and is, a real challenge trying to replicate the complex curves and shapes...but, thanks to heaps of putty and sanding, she's not looking too bad. I'm glad that you like the interior work, as well. Much appreciated. All the best for the weekend. Cheers Patrick

Hi Tozbekler That's some superb work you've got going on, there! I love the tiny steam boilers on the boats, as well as all the other details you're adding. Can I ask who the eventual owner of the model is? A private collector, or a museum? Either way, the owner would be very pleased. 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.
