    Hi Keith Wow! Looking mighty fine; especially the engine room. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Steve Well done. They look great! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Dave I agree entirely with everyone's comments and sentiments. Who cares what they think anyway. You know and, we know just how difficult doing what you've done is. And, that's all that matters. Cheers Patrick

    Love the axe! I want one, now...! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Nils I always marvel whenever I see your KWDG. Have you ever thought of entering her into model competitions? I reckon she'd surely be a winner, even at her current unfinished state. Keep up the fantastic work! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Piet I had no idea that the witchetty grubs were in Indonesia as well. Oh well, it kinda makes sense, I guess, seeing as Australia and Indonesia are neighbours. I haven't eaten one (thankfully), but everyone seems to say that they're yummy! Not for me, though. Thanks also for your comments about the anchor. Sadly, I reckon the swivelling flukes are a tad beyond my abilities . Cheers and all the best! Patrick

    Hi Steve Love those boats, especially the one that's been painted. Are you using all of these boats? Or, are some just for practice? Cheers Patrick

    Hi DJ Bobo Nice, clean and precise work! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Piet "You've done a Patrick..." - well, how does the saying go? Copying is the biggest form of flattery (or something like that anyway!). Seriously though, Piet. That's a mighty fine piece of work. A true treasure to behold, packed with detail, atmosphere, charm and majesty. What's more, it paints a beautiful visual story of how ships were built in those far away years. Just marvellous! Oh, and by the way, I'm definitely in the front row seat for your next mini-marvel. Cheers Patrick

    Thanks Carl and Lawrence for your compliments above! A special thanks, also, to all who added their Likes as well. Just a quick update so far. Tonight I added the chrome flashing around the bow's port and starboard anchor wells. They don't look too bad; contrasting nicely against Majellan's black hull. I also tried my hand at doing one of her two anchors. Not a bad try, I thought. I'll see if I can do any better and once satisfied, I'll paint them a silvery colour. I hope you enjoy the photos, folks. All the best! Patrick

    Hi Mehmet Unbelievable! I'm totally speechless and not sure what else to say, because no other words would suffice. Nicely done. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Jeff It's sad to hear about your Parents in Law. Battling so many illnesses at the same time is obviously a significant stressor for any family, so my thoughts are with you. I wish you, your wife and your parents in law, the very best of wishes. On a brighter note, hey, that jig is a one smart little device! I wish I'd thought of that when I was building my Victory, Bounty and Lennox models. It would certainly have saved me some angst! All the best and I look forward to seeing your next update. Cheers Patrick

    Looks pretty darn fair to me, Mick. Very, very, nice! Cheers Patrick

    Love those boats, Bob! Really nice. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Piet Many thanks. However, here in Oz, we don't have giant grains of rice. We just have these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchetty_grub Well....if you look long and hard enough, it kinda looks like a grain of rice, i.e. until it moves!!!! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Ben Yep! Well, styrene for the round base of the chair. The seat cushions and base are white card from a cereal box. Cheers Patrick

    Hi everyone Thanks for all of your Likes and comments - greatly appreciated! I've taken a short break from the Lower Deck's accommodation to focus on finishing off the ship's Bridge (located on the Bridge Deck, of course!). Principally, I've added a couple of cabinets and other assorted items to give the bridge some degree of credibility. I've also made the all important "Skipper's Chair", which can be seen in a few of the photos. Lastly, located just aft of the bridge itself, on the starboard side, is a small washroom with a toilet in it. I've started fit this out as well. All that's required to be added is the toilet bowl itself. Later folks, later... I hope you like these photos. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Keith Nice! I really like where this ship's heading. The framework for the cabin looks spot on. Here's a thought. Would you consider keeping one side un-planked, thereby allowing the internal framework to be viewed? Seems like a shame to cover it all up. Cheers Patrick

    Thanks Igor! Hope you're going well. All the best.. Patrick

    Hi Piet Ok. Giant matchsticks. Giant grains of rice. Huge clothes pegs. And a ginormous globe. Mmmmm. Me thinks there's some trickery going on here! Oh wait...nope. It's just Piet raising the realms of possibilities even higher. Nicely done, Piet! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Rob Beautiful! I love the room as well. 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.
