Hi Nils I'm just catching up on your KWDG. Wow, wow and triple wow! I tell you what, every time I say that I can't do something, I'll look at your KWDG for inspiration. That's enough to teach me that anything's possible and that if you strive to do your best, anything's possible. Inspirational. Cheers Patrick

Hi Vaddoc - many thanks. The break has been too long. Hopefully, now that things are getting back to normal, I can look forward to catching up with everyone's builds; yours especially! Thanks Steve. Lots of work still to go, though! Much appreciated, as always. Hi Frank - yep, you're right. Sometimes, these 'time outs' are unavoidable, but at least once they're over, it's full steam ahead again. Hi Gary Many thanks and greatly appreciated. It's great to have you onboard for Shadow's journey. Thanks Denis - It's amazing what a lot of putty and time can do! Thanks Nils. I've got a lot of catching up to do, that's for sure! Hi Elijah - thanks! You could be right about this time of the year. I think everyone's starting to feel the stress of Christmas, holidays, etc. Hectic times, that's for sure! Cheers Patrick

Hi Bob and Pete Thanks guys It's great to be back and like you, I'm looking forward to outfitting Shadow's interior. That should be heaps of fun. All the best. Cheers Patrick

Hi folks I'm back! Life's been really hectic over the past few weeks, which has meant that I've had little time for MSW, catching up with people's builds, or working on Shadow. Hopefully, things will ease off so that I can get back to some normality. Anyhow, over the past few nights, I've kinda reached a milestone with Shadow - that being the completion of the construction of the major components of her superstructure. With that milestone behind me, I can now settle down to detailing her interior accommodation and the myriad of above-deck details. Fun times ahead! I hope you all enjoy the photos as much as I'm going to enjoy catching up with everyone's build logs! Cheers Patrick

Hi E Nice job. The last photo clearly shows the sleek lines of the hull. Keep up the great work. Cheers Patrick

Hi Vaddoc Nice lamination work, there. It's a pity about the mistake with the frames, but, at least you've picked up the error and are well on your way to resolving it. Well done on both counts. Cheers Patrick

Hi Nils Oh, my Lord, that's looking beautiful!!!! I love all the fine detail work. Seriously well done. Cheers Patrick

Hi Jerry Without a doubt, one of life's simple pleasures is watching your own creation setting sail and coming to life on the water. She looks beautiful and truly a wonderful sight to behold. You must be very happy. Cheers Patrick

Hi WB Nice job on the cabin. Ahh, now she's really starting to take shape. Cheers Patrick
-
Nice work, Rob. The foredeck is certainly looking crowded and 'fit for purpose'. I can't wait until the rigging starts growing, but I understand that that's a long way away. Enjoy. Cheers Patrick.

Hi Denis I love the way that you think and the way that those thoughts are translated into the actual build process. It's almost as if we can follow your thought patterns picture by picture. For instance, the way you tackle the winch is a good case in point. We can see how each little bit that you add to it is the result of a spark of ingenuity and creativity; all of which will result in something believable and realistic. Nicely done! Cheers Patrick

What a beautifully detailed and finished model. You deserve to very proud of your accomplishment. Cheers Patrick

Hi Lawrence Many thanks! I'm really enjoying building Shadow; albeit, the time I've had available lately has been pretty scarce. Hopefully, that'll change as things settle down over the next few weeks. I've also thought about your comment about the large scale models, but sadly, I've resorted to building miniatures because I have no more room for the big models in my house. In fact, all my large RC yachts (including a 3 masted radio controlled clipper ship which I built when I was 17), are languishing in my garden shed! Sad, but true. So, miniatures it is, from now on! Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Nice!!!! It's amazing what a difference the stain has made to the fish box. I'm definitely digging it! Cheers Patrick
-
Nice work on the fish box, Denis. The deck is definitely looking fit for purpose, now! Cheers Patrick

Well, Igor...just when I thought it couldn't possibly get any smaller, you come up with this teeny tiny beauty!!! A little masterpiece! Well done. Cheers Patrick

Hey Lextin I've also been wondering how you've been going, too. I hope you're enjoying it! BTW what does "AB" stand for? Is it your rank? Cheers Patrick

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.
