    John - about the 5th log under kit builds.

    Hope your Birthday was a relaxing day fishing - ENJOY!

    Glad you got that delivery, Sjors! You are really doing a great job with the rigging.

    Good afternoon, Sjors! Saw all the update messages so figured i would check in - alas, no new pictures, but lots of crows feet and waiting for parts. Oh, well. At least there is still some popcorn available! Hmmm...45 more posts until the next promotion - think number 3,000 will put you over to page 112??? Glad you are doing better, but sorry to hear your boss expects you to now report to work! have a great day....

    Antony - Click on More Reply Options at the bottom of a reply screen. You will then see the Attach Files button below the box you are typing in. Click Attach File, locate the file you want to attach then follow the prompts. You can't post it as viewable (like a picture) but the file will be there. Hope that makes sense!

    Appreciate any and all advice, Thanasis! I actually located the box where this had been packed and will check out the clearness of the bottle this week - makes sense that that would be the key consideration!

    Welcome aboard, Jesse - with any luck I will be getting off my duff over the next week or so and starting in on this teensie beastie! I hope you are referring to the kit and not me, Popeye!!!

    Wow, Sjors - I go away for a weekend and just look at you!!!! That re-done mainstay looks very good. Much more to scale.

    Nice touch, Ed. Definitely adds to the accuracy!
  10. trippwj
    Beautiful looking tug, Jim. Love it!!

    Holy Cow, Sherry - that is amazing! There are not enough superlatives in the English language to truly describe that - AWESOME!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!

    I like that shade for the deck, Robert. Very nice work!
  13. trippwj
    You do good work, Andy - those shrouds look very crisp!!
  14. trippwj
    Glad the recovery is progressing, Eddie. Nice work on the paint job and rudder. Looks sharp!

    Moving along briskly, Augie. The decking looks really nice, and I like the idea of supports for the antlers. Now, I have heard of a razee, where the number of decks is reduced, but not sure I have seen many (any?) where additional decks were added! Make her into a 54 gun, eh?

    Sjors - You may want to look into the following book on the Aggy: Nelson's Favourite:HMS Agamemnon at War, 1781-1809 (1996) ISBN-13: 978-1557506207 Written by Anthony Deane (a descendant of Sir Anthony Deane, the noted naval architect)

    Richard - your deck planking looks really nice! I will second what Steve said - the Underhill book on rigging the clipper ship is very good. There are several Clipper Ship books that may be of some use - some better than others - particularly related to the deck furniture and hulls. Some of these include: Lubbock, Basil (1919). The China Clippers Kipping, Robert (1853) Rudimentary treatise on masting, mast-making, and rigging of ships (available on-line at http://archive.org/details/rudimentarytrea00kippgoog) MacGregor, David (1983) Tea Clippers: Their History and Development, 1833-1875 There are many more - like Steve, i enjoy reading about the history. At last count, my nautical and model building collection (started a tad over a year ago) is in excess of 200 printed books and well over 300 downloaded pdf documents.

    Sjors - that's a lot of bits and pieces! Will grab a seat here in the front before it gets crowded.

    John - thanks for asking! I was fearing that I was the only one who didn't know. I Googled it and came up with a derogatory slang word for Italians, but knew they wouldn't be wiping some form of Italian sealant on the deck!

    Crikey - sounds like y'all had a wicked good time, mate! Now, about that gooder English - I think I managed to get ye Olde English, some good ol' southern and some downeast along with some of that Hausteralian speak. Really quite envious - and wondering if Chatham will ever be the same again?
  21. trippwj
    Ed - As always, I am fascinated by the research and analysis that goes into each of your builds. I also have a preference for Webb over McKay (just because). Thanks for the detailed information you share on each of these!
  22. trippwj
    LOVE IT!!!! Interesting approach to hazard lighting on the tug.....
  23. trippwj
    Good looking bunch of models there! Glad to hear that Sjors behaved!
  24. trippwj
    Nice work on the repair! Methinks all those bits and pieces are hiding with the socks that disappear in the laundry... Your Vic is looking very good!
  25. trippwj
    Thanks, Jim - have a seat next to Keith! Will pass along the wishes in the morning (just got to the hotel). At least this time I only had to drive to Bangor (3 hours) then from Philly to Trenton (1 hour). Plenty of crustaceans - special pricing this weekend for the Pirate Festival.

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.
