    good evening everyone thank you so much for comments and likes, lets hope you like the Indefatigable when i start her possibly in early March both sails are ready to be rigged, although i seam to have a problem with them being saggy, but then again so are bits of me hopefully they will sort themself out when in place properly, which is more than can be said for myself

    good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes hope to finish this week, would have done so, had i not discovered a new PC game, which has me hooked- nothing to do with fishing though. The rudder - the big steerie thing at the back that i forgot about is on -(dont tell Chris) i also forgot about the holes in the hull to feed the ropes through, even though it says dont forget about them in the instructions all the deck furniture is completed and masts done, a bit of varnish and some rudder hinges to sort the sails are coloured with a chocolate brown, i think they look ok

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.
