    Hi folks. A quick update on Genesis’ progress. Ok. I admit that I’m not tech-savvy. Having said that, I’ve just discovered how to make my IPhone 8 zoom in closer than 2.0x. I know, I know....I’m not young like you guys😀. Armed with this new skill, I just thought I’d show off some of my new zoomed-in photos of Genesis’ details. Enjoy. Cheers Patrick

    So true, Mark!

    Hi Carl - yes, I have often wondered about these ‘modern art’ pieces and the astronomical prices that they fetch. Oh well...it’s all in the eyes of the beholder, I guess. Have a great weekend. Cheers. Patrick

    Hi Marcus-Thanks! I, also really like the addition of the photos and paintings. They kinda give it an extra touch of realism. Hi Denis-Thanks for your comments. Genesis has been a whole lot of fun so far; allowing me to let my imagination run wild...hence, all the colourful decor. Definitely not your boring interior, that’s for sure. Have a great weekend! Cheers Patrick

    Hi Dave Hah. Thanks! I wish I could paint...with my level of skills, I could probably only manage to paint a blob...just! Thanks for the compliments though. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Mark Your ship’s boat looks really sweet! Isn’t it nice when all your hard work pays off handsomely? Nicely done, for sure. Cheers Patrick

    Thanks Frank The old giant thumb comes in very handy from time to time😉 Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Cheers. Patrick

    Thanks Mark. We’re always our own worst critics, aren’t we. The thing is,. That at this teeny tiny scale, even half a millimetre out stands out like a sore thumb. Hi Carl. Yep, cheap reproductions, but what the heck, the originals are safely stored away in the safe at the owner’s mansion. 😂

    Hi Keith Thanks for the compliments, but....Say what????? If your camera has a ‘crappy default setting’, man oh man, I’d hate to see the photos of your model when it’s really in focus! 😉😉. Heheh. Have a great weekend. Cheers. Patrick

    Thanks Josh! Hehe...Nothing but the finest for your average mega-yacht billionaire! Have a great weekend. Cheers Patrick

    Thanks Phil! Much appreciated. Cheers. Patrick

    Hi folks. Well, well, well...Genesis’ owner just happens to be a serious art-collector. You know, the real arty-farty type. So, in keeping with that theme, I’ve adorned the Lower Deck’s cabins and passageways with quite a few paintings and wall-hangings. I reckon it brings the whole Lower Deck to life. I hope you like it too. Oh, and once again...damn these close-up photos. They accentuate each and every blemish and error. I swear that the detail looks great from 2 metres away😏 ( rather than close-up). Have a great weekend. Cheers Patrick

    Many thanks, Phil. Have a great week

    No offers yet...still waiting...waiting...😀

    Dammit! How could I have forgotten them ...!!!
  18. Omega1234
    Ahah! Thanks Keith. Isn’t it interesting to see how a definition can change markedly over time? Having said thatt...Far from being described by the modern interpretation, I am totally confident thatt you’d fall directly within the realm of a fine craftsman! Cheers Patrick.

    Hi Frank No need for superlatives Just having you onboard and able to enjoy the journey is good enough! All the best😀 Cheers. Patrick
  20. Omega1234
    Hi folks. Thanks for for all of your comments and feedback. Here is another quick update on Genesis. With the engine room basically complete, I’ve now started on the internal cabins on the lower deck. It all looks a bit messy at the moment, but pls bear in mind that nothing is glued down yet. Like the external paint job, it’s all still very much ‘work in progress’. Have a great week. Cheers Patrick

    Hi Nenad I’m so sorry to hear about Adrian. You and your family have been through so much sadness lately. I hope and pray that life will bring you much love and friendship from now on; but I’m sure that Hothead and your daughter will continue to bring you the love and joy that you deserve. Stay strong. Patrick

    Hi Vaddoc Don’t you just hate it when things don’t go according to plan! No doubt things will work out once you’ve regrouped and gotten back on track. Cheers. Patrick
  23. Omega1234
    Ok...now I have to figure out what a ‘bodger’ is...!
  24. Omega1234
    Very nice work, Keith! Are you sure you don’t have ‘master craftsman’s genes In your DNA😊😊? Cheers. Patrick
  25. Omega1234
    Hi Frank! Just when I thought your boat couldn’t have any more detail, I now find you’re working on the dredges. Talk about intricate work...but you’ll tackle them with aplomb, I’m sure. 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. 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.
