    Hi Nils It’s really enjoyable watching your masterpieces come together, this one being no exception. The care that you’re taking to get the right templates for the ribs is a perfect example for us to learn and follow. Nice job! Cheers Patrick

    Hi folks. Here’s the next update on Sapphire’s construction journey. My main goal for the past couple of weeks has been to concentrate on building the superstructure and internal decks, so that I can get a real sense of how I’m going to make each deck removable. I’ve still got the top deck to go. As you can see, it all looks really rough and messy; but that’s understandable at this stage. There’s still plenty of work still to go. Enjoy your weekends! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Vaddoc Uggg...I wish I had access to the drawings of the hull lines, but all I’m ever able to get is what’s on the Internet. Therefore, I’m left with no other option but to look at photos and do a lot of guess work and, in the case of Genesis, I benefited from a little bit of extra help from one of our MSW friends who is a naval architect and was able to guide me. Apart from that, I just go by the rule -‘if it looks good, then it must be good😊’. Have a great weekend. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Vaddoc Hah yep, you’re right about the last sailboat being ‘fragile’. That’s my model of Ingomar that you’re referring to...definitely one of my favourites as far as sailing models go. Thanks for your compliments about the fleet, as well. Much appreciated. Have a great weekend! Patrick

    Hi Ben I like the idea of hiding each completed section from ‘prying eyes’. Gotta keep some surprises😊😊 Cheers Patrick

    Hi folks Well, I’ve been a bit impatient lately and started on my next model, Sapphire, before my previous model, Genesis is completely finished. Anyhow, Sapphire is based on an actual mega-yacht called, Okto (https://www.yachtcharterfleet.com/luxury-charter-yacht-43054/okto-yacht-charter-printable.pdf). As is customary with all of my miniature models, the interior accomodation will be fully detailed and viewable through removable decks and superstructure. I hope you can join me on Sapphire’s journey. Cheers. Patrick

    Hi Marcus One of the great joys of our hobby is seeing our creations take shape, from a set of plans, to a framed hull. Without a doubt, your ship’s really coming along beautifully. Pls keep the updates flowing. Cheers. Patrick

    Hi Sam I had to blink and do a double-take, when I saw how small your ship is. It makes your work even more special! Nicely done. Cheers. Patrick

    Hi folks Well, as Genesis is nearing completion...Guess what? It’s time for Genesis to meet the other ships in the fleet, (well, not the full fleet, but some of them, anyway). Enjoy! Have a great week, folks! Cheers. Patrick
  22. Omega1234
    Not long to go now, Phil. Have you considered how and where you’re going to display her? Thanks. Patrick

    Hi Keith A masterful job on the scroll. I sense there’s another skill that you can add to your resume! Have a great week. Cheers. Patrick

    Hi Frank Once again, you’ve made a complex job for a mere mortal, such as me, look incredibly easy. Very, very nice work....but, then again, that’s totally to be expected. 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.
