Seriously Greg.   That will be a hard act to follow.  You need to post so many more photos.   Be sure to add them to the gallery as well.

 

I am still plugging away on square frames for my Speedwell.   I have photos of yours all around my shop for inspiration.

 

Just a lovely model.

Well Greg, you have built a beautiful ship and seven years of your work certainly has paid off in spades. Even at 1/4 inch scale, Speedwell is a small ship and you have shown all of us what a master builder can do.

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.
