    Bruce, I found an old engraving of a 12-pounder carronade on a 4-wheel carriage on Wikimedia: Just search there for "Carronade 12 pounder.jpg". Unfortunately it seems dated to 1913, but the construction seems reasonable. Per

    It is a companion port for the helmsman handling the whipstaff. On the Vasa: http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Whipstaff Per

    Hi Harley, You could try "Ordnance Instructions for the United States Navy, 1866" at Project Gutenberg: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/19058/19058-h/19058-h.htm#Page_A_46 P. 46 onwards should give you all the information you need. On p. 55 you will find instructions how to house lower-deck guns in different weather. Per

    I use a micro attachment for the home vac, a flexible hose with a soft brush at the nozzle end, that works for both models and computers. For really tight corners canned air and an artists brush. Canned air can be got from any camera shop. Per

    I also found this British wartime propaganda poster. It clearly shows a ladder bolted to the mast and, once you got that far, rungs bolted to the outside of the barrel. Per

    I found this - Ogden's 1927 whaling cigarette cards: http://www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/wildlife/whales/whaling_cards.htm Kester's bad weather barrel as well as a more minimalistic southern type. Per

    I'm nicking the stirrers from the box by the office coffee machine.

    Something like the sensitive drill attachment for my watchmakers lathe would be useful. The runner slides in a sleeve that fits in the tailstock bore. Per

    Now this is what I call a lathe! Ok, not quite up to date and perhaps a tad overpriced, but boy would I want one! http://tinyurl.com/qb5y5qw Per

    I was going to suggest a Dremel diamond cutoff disc. Hypodermic needles are very hard and the pieces will shoot off like projectiles when you try to snip them off. At the very least, use safety goggles. Per

    The website for the replica schooner Lynx, http://www.privateerlynx.com/# , has some good photos of their swivel guns in the photo gallery. Per

    I have used Scale Link's etched alphabets and number. They look really good. Per

    I am looking for an old roll top desk or two for the same purpose. That would make the workshop look very shipshape and Bristol fashion. Per

    I think Thanasis got the answer, I found this description in a Tasmanian newspaper, the Deloraine and Westbury Advertiser, May 13, 1911:

    Ilhan, I found a couple of good photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/withloveforjin/7008102377/in/photostream/ and one photo here: http://zuluboat.blogspot.se/2009_02_01_archive.html Hopefully a member close to San Diego could do better. Interesting. It is the first steam windlass i have seen with upright steam engines. Perhaps because of tight space on the forecastle? Per

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.
