    Hi Igor Nice! Quick question, though - What's hornbeam? Cheers Patrick

    Hi Folks Thanks for all of your likes and comments. Much appreciated! Another quick update. I've been working on the Entrance Lobby on the Main Deck. The Lobby is positioned directly forward of the Main Saloon and is where the guests would embark and disembark from the ship when dockside. In true mega-yacht style, I've decided to go for the glitzy "wow" appearance. In doing so, the walls of the Lobby have been lined with gold and silver bands (the silver bands would actually be mirrors in the real ship). Unfortunately, my poor macro-photography skills means that it's really hard to see the actual effect, but, well, trust me it, it looks ok. I've also adorned the walls with some cabinetry and wall units for guests to rest their 'what-nots' on. Having heaps of fun here... I hope you enjoy the photos. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Tecko Wow! I definitely like where you're heading with the bridge! Nice. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Denis Thanks, but I think you underestimate your ability to get things done at lightning fast speed! I'm still in awe and slightly envious😊 Thanks also for for visiting my Pandora log. All of those photos of Pandora were taken before I had a good digital camera....looking back at them now, it's surprising how fuzzy and dim the colours of those photos were...they certainly didn't do the model justice. Aanyhow, have a good one! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Tozbleker Thanks for showing how you made the railings. The more I see, the more I learn! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Denis I think I can feel a strong urge to see a line up of your whole fishing boat fleet, AG included. Hint Hint? Cheers Patrick

    Hi Tecko I'm amazed! The bridge is coming along beautifully, but the wiring...OMG, I'd get totally lost. I couldn't even hope to do what you're doing in a heartbeat. Top job, so far. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Mark Nice job on the carriage, even for a prototype. I didn't realise how tiny they were until I saw them against the ruler. Yep, tiny, alright! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Igor Nice work, as always, especially the bulwarks. I like it! Cheers Patrick

    Hey Igor Another teeny tiny beauty on the way! I'm in. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Tecko I'm in!!! This sounds like it'll be a fun build. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Eddie I'm doing very well and thanks for asking! I'm also very appreciative of the many Likes you've given. Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Hartmut Nice progress, as always. I'm just looking at how blunt the bow is underwater. These ships wouldn't have been very fast, I'd imagine? Nonetheless, they were still very attractive yachts, that's for sure. Have a great week! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Denis I'm just catching up with your log! My, oh my, what a heap of progress you've made on her. I wish I had your speed and adeptness in getting things done. Somehow, you juggle everything together (including birthday cake baking) and never seem to miss a beat. What's your secret???? Cheers Patrick

    Nice progress Frederick. She's really coming together now. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Dan Dang! Those funnel cages looks fantastic. Very nice. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Denis Very, very nice! I can just picture Syborn chugging across the ocean, trawling backwards and forwards, forever chasing those elusive fish. The seagulls would also be hanging out for a free feed...so watch out in case they leave their calling cards on the decks🤔 You wouldn't want to clean the decks unnecessarily😧 All the best. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Nils That's a clever idea to do the strips to hold the celluloid in. Nice touch. Cheers Patrick

    Many thanks Piet! It's great to see you back on MSW again. Thanks also for the many Likes! I hope all's well with you and Gwen. Cheers Patrick '

    ...never too old! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Denis Many thanks! I'm also glad that the 'movers' have moved in. I was getting a bit twitchy about having to spend so much time on the hull and superstructure (both of which still need a lot of work), but, at least I've been able to start on the really fun bit, ie the furniture and accommodation. Have a great weekend! Cheers Patrick

    Thanks Bob That's a great compliment! Very grateful for that. Have a good'un. Cheers Patrick

    Thanks Greg How does that saying go...''good things come in small packages'... Have a great weekend! Cheers Patrick

    Thanks Lawrence I really appreciate your comments and thanks for catching up on Shadow's progress. I must admit that, like you, I'm also amazed at just how tiny Shadow is in real life. In fact, as I'm used to seeing her all day, I kinda take it for granted, until that is, I look at the photos of me holding her...and then I realise, yep, she's tiny! Thanks for looking in and have a great weekend. Cheers Patrick

    Hey Bob Just catching up .....Woweee, she looks fantastic, what with rivets and plating, etc, etc. Almost too good to paint, in fact (although, paint you must, of course). Mighty fine work. 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.
