Hi Nils Thanks and yep! These hatches on Shadow's port and starboard sides are for her tender garage. They open outwards to enable the two tenders to be launched and recovered. Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone Thanks for all the Likes and comments! Greatly appreciated. This is just another quick update. I've been progressing with the internal fit out, albeit at a very early stage, taking care to ensure that the major cabin bulkheads are fitted and installed. As usual, a whole bucket load more work to go; but it's a start. Enjoy! Cheers Patrick

Hi Piet My word you're busy!!! Haven't you ever heard of 'taking it easy"? I guess not, but an active body means an active mind, That can't be a bad thing. Anyhow, getting back to your lion. I love the look that you're chasing. Classic and charming. It'd be great to see you carve it. As for the ship's boats, oh yer, you'll knock them out of the park, for sure. All the best! Cheers Patrick

Hi Ben and Brian One of the best things about MSW is the feedback and advice that people such as yourselves offer. Both of you are far more knowledgeable about these ships than I'll ever be, which makes your advice invaluable. Truth be told, I always wondered what the purpose of the domes were. Now I know. Have a great week and thanks, once again. Cheers Patrick

Hi Igor Oh my word! I'd forgotten just how 'teeny tiny' your little beauty is. The last photo says it ALL!!!! Cheers Patrick

Hi Ben - welcome back!!! Thanks for your comments and also the advice about the domes. The plans that I'm using are really short on details, so, I used a fair bit of guess work with the positioning of the domes. Oh, well. I'll probably leave them as is, now. Good to know, though! Hi Piet - thanks and it's great to hear from you again. I've still got the major bulkheads to put in, but once they're done, the furnishing and fitting out can start. I'm definitely champing at the bit! All the best!!! Cheers Patrick

Hey Igor At last! I've been waiting patiently and now, with these updates, I'm not disappointed! Definitely your best model yet. I'm really loving all the fine details that you're adding. Beautiful stuff! Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis The temporary jig that you fashioned out of the cardboard roll and eyelet was a stroke of genius. It certainly seems to have made your life easier, because the nets really looked a treat. Nicely done! Cheers Patrick

Hi Rob Dang, you work fast! She's gonna pretty spectacular once done, that's for sure. Have you got a display case sorted for her? Cheers Patrick

Thanks Denis! She's been relatively trouble free, so far. Still lots of fun stuff, to go, though. Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi Jeff I'm with Michael and Carl on this one. How you're able to fashion new tools and also work within that confined space is mind boggling. You may not be in a hurry to finish her though, but I'm keen as mustard to see it all done quick smart! I must repeat to myself over and over - "Patience, patience, patience...!" Cheers Patrick
-
Flaws???? Where? Even the full sized boat would have the odd ding or scrape . Looks great to me! Cheers Patrick

Hi Brian - many thanks for the compliment! I reckon she's not looking too bad, either. Hi Nils - Thanks. It's taken a while to figure out how to do it, but the result is well worthwhile! Full steam ahead from here, now that I've got that milestone (the removable decks) out of the way. Hey Carl - yep, the juices are certainly flowing! I'm looking forward to fitting her out! ...Should be great fun. Hi Greg - Many thanks and how are you? You're right - the fun stuff is starting now . The deck planking is approximately 1mm wide, being derived from an Australia Wattlyl veneer sheet. Hi Mark - that's one hell of a compliment! It put a really big smile on my face, that's for sure! Hi Jeff - many thanks. It caused me a lot of headaches trying to figure out how to make all the deck's removable, but, I reckon it's all good now. The reason being that the plans were not clear as to the exact location and layout of the decks, so needless to say, a lot of guess work was necessary. Have a great week,everyone! Cheers Patrick

Hi Carl and Kees Interesting question. I do have an account, but I still wasn't able to access the video. It said that "I do not have access". Cheers Patrick

Hi Kees I recall that you were building a model of a trawler, but why did you post a photo of the full-sized superstructure in the photo? Are you trying to trick us into thinking that that's what you built? Ahem...of course you built it and of course that would've taken a heck of a lot of work and no doubt, only you and a few select other modellers would've been able to do it so well. Damn fine job, Kees. It looks so realistic. Amazing. 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.
