Hi Dave You know, sometimes you see a model that looks so complex and challenging that you think "I wouldn't even know where to start in building it". The SOS is one such model for me. Even though I've built the Victory and other fully rigged ships of the line, I still get stumped when I look at your ship. I guess what I'm saying is that you make it look so easy.... Cheers and all the best Patrick

Hi Mike Congratulations on reaching this critical milestone! She's looking great, irrespective of the photo quality issues. I'm looking forward to the fairing of the hull, next. Cheers Patrick

Hi Denis Now, that's really great work! Having said that, what's even more important is the inspiration that you're giving the boys. We need to entice this and future generations away from the digital world so that they can experience and appreciate what it's like to build something with their own hands. I'm sure they're going to love it and be inspired to build their own. Nice! Cheers Patrick

Hi Nenad The colour of the stand is really nice and, you're right, it does have that 'old but shiny' look that you were aiming for. Nicely done. Your story about your mother's gloves is a good one, too. It just goes to show how easily we can be fooled at the best of times!! Keep up the great work, Nenad. All the best Patrick- 4,152 replies

Hi Jond ...ahem... I've looked at your photos and I have to say that I'm finding it a real challenge to distinguish between your models and the real boat; such is the realism that you've achieved. Very impressive! Cheers Patrick

Hi Dave What????? I really feel for you, whilst at the same time I applaud your commitment to getting it right! Are any of the carvings salvageable? 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.
