Hi folks! Thanks for all of your Likes and comments! Well, she's getting there, albeit slowly. It may not actually look like there's been a lot done since my last update, but a lot of the work has been devoted to building more cabins and a myriad of other fine measurements and trimming of bits and pieces here and there. Anyhow, I thought you may like to see where she's at via the following photos. Have a good week! Cheers Patrick

Hi Walter I wouldn't worry too much. You've had too much on your plate, lately. Just the fact that you're able to even think about your CAD drawings is a good sign. All the best! Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Finally got time to catch up! Man she's looking great. The paints certainly threw up some challenges, but, you've overcome them admirably. Lovely stuff! Cheers Patrick

Hi Chris It's great to see you back into building your little beauty. I really like the toe rail. What a difference it's made to the overall effect. Nice!! Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Brilliant work on the net. Now all the effort that you've put into the trawl rig, buoys, winches, etc, is all starting to make sense. I can just picture Suborn chugging the seas trawling those waters. Speaking of trawling, if you could just send her over here...there're a few recalcitrant goldfish in our pond! Cheers Patrick

Hi Rob Hehehe...sorry about that! Ya gotta stay off the cool aid! It's still amazing how you do them. It takes me 12 to 18 months just to do one of mine (and mine are minuscule compared to your giants)! Have a great weekend. Cheers Patrick

Hi Bob I hear ya, brother! Maybe we're both just gluttons for punishment? LOL All the best! Cheers Patrick

Hi Brian Many thanks! The holes that you mentioned are for the spiral staircases leading from the bilge deck to the upper decks. They look a bit odd now, but hopefully once the stairs are in place, things will make more sense. Well...that's the plan anyway! All the best. Patrick

Hi Denis I totally understand about the case, or lack thereof. Hopefully, one day you'll score one at the right time or place. As for your next boat, well, I reckon that you should start another log; that way, even more people can enjoy it. Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis It's great to see you back into Syborn, again. And...as Kees has said, the overall shots show just what a marvellous job you're doing. A true little gem, I'd say. You must be getting really close to finishing her off. Have you got a display case all sorted for her? Cheers Patrick
-
Thanks Denis Really appreciate that. Yep, you're right, though. The cabins are TINY. I'm really beginning to wonder just what I've gotten myself in for, because there's not a hell of a lot of detail that I can add in them...but I'll try my best. Oh well, at least I'm having heaps of fun (and satisfaction). Can't ask any more than that, I guess! Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi Greg Thanks. I guess 'boring' is one way to describe it, but it's still exciting to think that at least I'm getting closer to building all the fun stuff. Can't wait! Have a great week. 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.
