    I recently got an AL Swift (is that the most common model on MSW?) to be my "practice model". I won't stop working on the Syren, but I'll try to stay a couple of steps ahead, learning from my mistakes on the Swift. Maybe I shouldn't worry about making the same mistakes twice, when there's an infinity of new ones out there waiting for me. I suppose I should start a Swift log. Dave

    Well, either I've been making progress, or my mistakes have become irretrievable, depending on perspective... bulkheads and filler blocks are in. I noticed everyone else has put their fillers against the center, I put my scrap wood farther out, thinking it would help during fairing.

    If there are any Syreners out there, does it look like the figurehead will interfere with the cheek pieces? It seems that when she posed for the plans, she had her tail flipped up, but let it droop when posing for the sculptor. Skirting a lee shore, Dave

    And so it begins... I recently decided to get back into model shipbuilding, looked at a bunch of build logs, and ordered a Syren kit. After looking at the kit contents and the instructions, I thought it might be a good idea to get a simpler kit for practice. So, while deciding on a good (easier) kit, I may as well start on the Syren. I mean what could go wrong? The first page went pretty well. At one page of instructions per day, I should be finished by summer.

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.
