Hi Bob Many thanks! I wish I knew where that machine was, too. All I know is that someone keeps using it on my wallet. Each day, my wallet just keeps getting smaller and smaller...LOL. Anyhow, enough of my bad jokes! You have a good one. Cheers Patrick .

Hi Nils Many thanks! Seeing the fleet together really put into perspective what this hobby is all about - fun, satisfaction and achievement. If these qualities aren't present, then the enjoyment is gone. Hopefully that day will never come for me. Have a great weekend. Cheers Patrick

Hi Ben Many thanks for dropping by and for your compliments! I hope all's well with your exams and family. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before you finish your current round of studies, so that you can get back into your shipyard. Cheers and all the best! Patrick

Hi Zoltan How are you? Just wondering if you had any success with the plans? Cheers Patrick

Hi everyone Hope you're all well and thanks for your Likes and compliments! I've done a lot of work on Majellan over the week, most of which can't be seen; mainly because it involved a lot of measuring, cutting and fine tuning how each deck sat upon the one below it. Although it may not ybe immediately apparent in the photos, the decks are looking much better than before (well, I think so, anyway). Also, just for fun, I thought I'd also put Magellan alongside some of her sisters in my miniature fleet, namely, Symphony (Ketch), Mystic (cabin cruiser) and Rainbow (J Class). It's interesting to sit back and look at the relative sizes of each model when compared against each other. I still can't believe how small Mystic is in comparison to the others! Have a great weekend, everyone. Cheers Patrick

Hi Bob Are you go to do any weathering? The reason I'm asking is because the panelling could be enhanced even more if highlighted with dirt, rust and spray. Just a thought (well, my thoughts anyway)

Hi Pete Those are sleek and slippery hulls you're building. Nice! I'm constantly amazed at how quickly you can build these hulls, which always turn out so nicely. All the best! Patrick

Very nice work, Marcus, as is your commitment to replicating the original. I gotta say, "who doesn't like a catboat"? I know I am certainly a sucker for them and your's is no exception. Cheers and all the best! Patrick

Hi Denis That's one nice and shapely hull you've got there. Imperfections? What imperfections? Can't see anything from the photos..... I now also understand what the bow work entails and, yes, I reckon an aft mounted pilot house would set this boat off from the other two rather nicely. All the best! Cheers Patrick

Hi Allan Nice start, especially with the frames. I can see that she's gonna be a beauty when finished! Mind if I tag along? Cheers Patrick- 15 replies

Nice bit of steering cable detail there! As a side note, as the chains and pulleys are exposed, I guess OHSW wasn't a big deal back in the day, because I could easily see a crew member's toe being chewed up pretty badly if they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, especially in a heaving sea. Nicely done, though. I enjoy watching your tug coming to life. Cheers Patrick

Hi Elijah - Thanks and I'll definitely beware of the goldfish. They can be a bit feisty at times; especially during feeding time. Hi Vaddoc - Many thanks. I also really like the wooden decks, because to my mind, it gives the ship a bit of 'soul' and breaks up the stark whiteness of the superstructure. All the best! 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.
