    It popped right out of the mold

    Bob what is interesting is that the lifeboats were never designed to swing in. They were simply pulled up and let down. The back deck was covered with a canvas roof making it impossible to do so any way. This was a water taxi moving from bay to bay picking up and dropping people and freight in the life boats. See her in the the picture below .

    Thanks for all the kind comments. I replaced the stern davits with ones that are more to scale made from brass rod. i have framed the second lifeboat so we will see how that pops out of the mold.

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.
