G'day Dave Thought this might be a help to you. The replica in Sydney has about 40mm gunwales and 180 to 200mm rougtreerails. The stern roughtreerails are about 120mm. See photo Havagooday Greg

G'day Danny Another exceptional step by step pictorial log, marvelous piece of artmanship (craftsmanship with art). I agree with all the other post mate Goodonyamate Greg

Ditto for me Danny, I've, and I'm sure everyone has learnt a great deal from your wonderful pictorial step by step lessons. Bravo mate, just brilliant! I also agree with George 150%. Haveagreatone Greg

G'day Danny Another fine example of your skills but this time it's your blacksmith skills are shinning through. "What can't you do?" Haveagreatone Greg

G'day Danny As I was going through the log I thought to myself "fantastic", then, I saw the ruler next to the gun and I said to myself, "jee wizz", that's bloody small. It is amazing how well you can do small and detailed work! Can't wait for the next chapter in this fantastic log!

G'day Denis Bummer is all I can say for you. I'm very sorry about the clear skylights. I've got an idea that might help, have you thought about getting some plastic laminate sheets. it is only an idea but it might work. Well anyway mate have a good day. Greg

G'day Denis Thank you very much for in depth answer. I didn't realise that there vast arrays of difficulty in plastic! I guess on one level plastic could be harder than wood because you don't have the same amount of latitude as in wood. Btw your Titanic is coming on great gun! Havagooday Greg

Great idea about the treenails. And the hull looks great. Did you say after hours? Or do you mean days? Lovit. Greg

Another example of pure genius! Looking forward to more updates on the divat. Question: are there only one divat per ship, or are there one on each side? All the info I can find points me to the conclusion there is only one which is moved from port to starboard. Havagooday Greg

This is true to me as well. In actual fact, I have never thought twice about plastic model, but your build and log has changed my view completely!

G'day Denis Thinking outside of the square: could you use a fan on the windows while it's drying, that way the fume might not build up and cause the metal to discolour! 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.
