Hi Jeff I think this is the first time we've seen the whole hull (correct me if I'm wrong) and, I'm not disappointed. You've done a lovely job shaping the hull and the effort that you've put into the rudder and its pintles, is well worthwhile. Can't wait for the rigging to start. Nice job!!! Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Many thanks. I'm really enjoying building this model - complex, yet rewarding! Hope you're well and enjoying the snow. Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone Thanks for all of your Likes and comments. I really enjoy them, particularly as they put a warm smile on my face . Anyhow, as the fit-out of Shadow's interior progresses, I've started on her Engine Room, which consists of two decks. Shadow's small size, as well as the fact that the plans are sadly lacking in detail, has meant that I've had to be realistic about what level of detail I could fit into such a tiny area. So, please don't be too critical....Oh well, as long as it looks mildly convincing, I'd be happy. Whilst there's heaps more work to go, here are the photos so far. All the best, everyone! Cheers Patrick

Hey Igor Mistake, or no mistake, I still 'take my hat off to you". I couldn't do that even if I tried... Good recovery, though, I must say! Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor I'm sitting here, just shaking my head in amazement. I think I need a stiff drink now, because I still can't think how you do it! Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Lovely work on getting the winch and pumps together. The extra effort you're putting in is definitely worthwhile. Hope the bug has left you for good and that you're feeling much better now. Cheers Patrick

Statenjacht Utrecht by warhonor - 1:50
Omega1234 replied to warhonor's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
HI Warhonor No criticisms! My only thought would be to follow Angafather's log because he's building the same ship. May pick up a few tips, or two. Cheers Patrick -
Hi Ken Ouch! Stay safe and dry! Cheers Patrick

Hi Warhonor From little things, big things grow! Congrats and welcome to MSW. I'll be tagging along. Cheers Patrick -
Hi Denis I'm just catching up after a couple of days. You're sick again??? Sorry to hear that and I hope those nasties stay well away from you from now on! Stay well. Cheers Patrick

Hey Bob Congratulations!!!! Those launches of yours are simply magnificent. I love their charm and character and how they can take us back to a 'gentler and slower' pace of life. Oh, to be on one of the boats on some lake in a beautiful part of the countryside. We can only dream, can't we? Lovely stuff, Bob. Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor That chess set of yours. Minuscule in stature. Outstanding in achievement!!!!! Remember not to sneeze next to it... Cheers Patrick

Brig Eagle by robnbill - 1:48
Omega1234 replied to robnbill's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1801 - 1850
Hey Bill I love that middle photo of yours. I had no idea just how long, low and sleek the Eagle's hull was, but that photo emphasises it beautifully. Nicely done. Cheers Patrick -
Hi Lawrence Many thanks for your compliments. I'm kinda blushing at the moment, as well as being grateful! Shadow's been a dream build so far. I don't know why, but somehow, I've not made any major stuff ups, yet.....YET, I say . Let's hope it stays that way! Have a great weekend. Cheers Patrick

Hi Gary - thanks for your comments. Mmm. I'll have to question my supplier about those cushions! Hi Carl. Thanks! I'll definitely keep you all posted on Shadow's progress. All the best guys. 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.
