G'day Nils As always, amazing work on the winch. Hard to believe that you can get all that details in with your scale! Just super mate. Regarding the life boats, I think the strakes are a bit too wide, if you make them, say 2mm, (it would be about 290mm in acual size) it could be a fair comprise for visial respect. Sorry to put my penny worth in mate. Havagooday Greg

G'day Patrick Bravo! The engine room and the inside docking area is marvellous. What can I say about the spa on the top deck, except to ask you are you going to put bubbles in the water? Does the white landing bay at the stern lowers below ses level, to allow the Runabout and jet skis to get out? Just curious mate! Haveagreatone mate Greg

G'day Danny Thanks for your answer! Beautiful and your master craftmanships is showing thought (like always). I've got another question if you don't mind: I presume that the "anchor stock planking" (picture below) is used to help to "hold" the ship together and to add extra rigidity to the ship. Am I right or wrong? thanks mate Greg

G'day Danny Again a marvellous piece of workmanship! I think I understand how/what works, but I would like some clarification. I know that the mask pivot on the keel, as per your previous enters. This is where Im assuming: does the mask move aft/forward on the internal desks and on the main deck is where the mask is "anchored" as a fulcrum? The below photo is from the internal deck and there's a slide for/aft? thanks mate and again it's a marvellous pictorial that you have done. Havagooday Greg

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.
