Nice rendering of the windows Al.  I've seen something similar done on other model kits in photo etch.  I'm chompin' at the bit to see the final reveal.  Looks like she's going to be a wonderful much anticipated kit.

Looking more and more like the CA Thayer or Wawona.  We can only hope as they were both basically the same ship.  I'm staying tuned for coming attractions.  From the black hull color and yellow sheer line my guess would be the C.A. Thayer as the Wawona had a green hull.

I am finding this log most fascinating.  Since I am studying the local 4 masted design, such as the Forester.  I recently acquired an older model shipways "Yellow Box" 1:128 variation.  So the various build details look to be quite useful.  I especially like the laser cut timber heads. 

 

It is good to see an interest in these west coast lumber schooners.

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.
