    No progress at the moment - I had hoped to carry on from where I left off, but I just cant find the motivation at the moment. Thank you to all for the kind comments and of course all the likes. OC.

    Perhaps I was seeing into the future "Black Manta" "Aurora" type thing OC.

    Yep go with that one mate, I once (as a kid) glued the wings on back to front on a plastic jet, but I just pretended that was the way they should be, after developing a love affair with all thigs that fly, I tended not to do the same thing again. OC.

    I think a little bit of "individuality" make each of our builds unique to us, kind of stamps our identity on them. OC.

    I had to do a similar thing on my build but the opposit way - my transom was too short so I had to add to it including putting a larger rudder block over the false rudder, just a case of working round what needed doing. OC.

    I have felt the same as you my friend, with my Greyhound build I reached a stage before planking the hull where I nearly binned the whole thing, but I gave my build some time then with a fresh set of eyes and a refreshed mojo - I pushed on and months later I am where I am now. OC.

    Good evening fellow builders and all the kind likes, I have had a small diversion from my build (lifes little hick ups) Before I was taken away from the bench, I had started to construct the second 9pdr cannon/carriage that goes under the poop deck overhang, I had painted both parts and put them aside to dry, next stage will be the same as the first one finished off with gluing it in place. I will be back to the bench tomorrow with any luck, at the moment I am still coming down from my brothers adventure. Thank you to all - Warmly and Sincerely. OC.

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.
