    Sorry to hear you've been unwell Augie. Wishing you a speedy recovery and return to the shipyard. I prescribe a medicinal dosage of good brandy - about a quart should do it!

    Watch your backs, comin' through! Ah, that's better - just managed to get one of the last places in the front row. Pass me a beer will please you Mark? And someone send for Sjors and the popcorn machine - this is bound to be entertaining, as well as educational.

    All looking very ship-shape there Mobbsie. I'll do my best to do some catching up this weekend!

    Okay, I also need a new Thesaurus as I'm lost for words. Brilliant work Nils - I'm really enjoying following your progress here.

    Thanks for a very informative post Debbie. I'm so glad you had a happy ending to your journey!

    Nice to see some progress there Charlene. Nothing wrong with bringing in an extra "contractor" to help out! Hope you get plenty of time in the shipyard together.

    Nice work Mario. Great to see you back making saw dust! Brian - the painters tape is to make removal of the patterns easier. It holds the pattern securely while cutting, yet comes off easily and doesn't leave a sticky residue.

    Thanks B.E. Nice to see you back here and thanks for your kind thoughts re Sam.

    Looks like an interesting project Dan, think I'll pull up a chair and follow along too.

    Nice to see you back in the shipyard Bug! And making some good progress too.

    [Although the two sides didn't come out exactly identical, they are very close.] Are you kidding me Bob?!!! I think we may have different definitions of "close". Very nicely done. Very nice indeed.

    Your daughter is a lucky girl Richard. The lighting looks great and adds a lovely finishing touch to a fine model. Well done, Sir!

    Both Canons and Cap Squares look great Mobbsie! And Tom is right - a neat little tutorial.

    Congratulations on a fine build Richard. She looks fabulous!

    Thanks for all the kind words and the likes folks. And Happy Birthday Mike! Things have been quiet in the shipyard lately as life has been getting in the way a little. A couple of weeks ago, I wrapped up my second stint in the RAN - seven years this time around, and a total just shy of 36 years all up. I have now started my own consulting business as a precursor to total retirement in about five years from now. My cunning plan is that working for myself will give me more time in the shipyard, although I've heard the boss is a bit of a tyrant. Currently enjoying a little beach side chillax with the Admiral for a week at a very pleasant spot called Mooloolaba, on the Sunshine Coast just north of Brisbane, in Queensland. It's just a tad warmer than home right now. Here's a couple of pics of the view from the apartment - directly across the road from the beach. Life's tough sometimes! For some reason, photos taken with the iPad always seem to attach upside down. If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be most grateful. Then again, maybe for you folks in the Northern Hemisphere they are the right way up.

    Sweet! Great outcome Danny.

    Very clever Danny - well done!

    Have fun at the race track Mobbsie! Glad to hear you managed to turn the two canons from ebony - looking forward to seeing the pics.

    You can check out the Granado Cross-section (scratch) from the link in my signature block below. If you want a full model as well, Caldercraft/Jotika do a nice kit.
  20. gjdale
    Ouch Danny! What a shame. Can't wait to see your bound-to-be-ingenious fix!
  21. gjdale
    Very nicely done Clare. That is a really sweet looking model. Congratulations.
  22. gjdale
    Carriages look great Mobbsie. Shame about the split wood - I'll be giving my stock a careful check over before following suit!
  23. gjdale
    Congratulations on reaching a significant milestone Mike. You must be feeling very satisfied about now.
  24. gjdale
    Outstanding Nils! Looking just fabulous.

    Hey Danny, As someone once said to me, where did you get that giant fake hand? :D

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.
