    Welcome aboard Eric. This is a great place to make friends and learn from people who are willing to go out of their way to help. By the way, I'm just up I-5 in Bremerton.

    Thanks Elijah. Yes it's laser cut. It's a really nice kit and goes together well so far.

    Thanks Mike, it feels really good to be back at it. I didn't realize how much I missed it. It's also great to be spending more time here with my friends.

    Looks like I'm late to the show as usual but what a beautiful build Bob.

    I have been trying to keep up with everybody's builds but I have not worked on mine for quite some time. Between family issues and getting my guitar done the shipyard has been neglected. Well not any more. I'm back at my Glad Tidings and have been working on the deck. It's going pretty smoothly and is looking ok. I painted the hull green but I think I have changed my mind and will go with the yellow hull like the original. The other builds I have seen sure look nice in yellow. I should be spending some good time at the workbench and will do my best to keep my log up to date.

    Those are nice looking barrels. What are they about 4 inches long? Your frames look great. That's going to to be one heck of a model.

    I agree with the higher water line. It does look better to the eye. The green patina looks great too. I hope when I get to the point of plating a hull I can replicate that look. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress and learning from it.

    Great work Chuck. I assume those are the weathering powders used by armor modelers. They has bunches of colors.

    Wow Jesse, that's a great looking boat.

    Welcome to MSW. It will be a fun project. With any luck it will spark an interest in the hobby. You might find it a relaxing and rewarding pursuit.

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.
