    Hi Harvey, Glad to have been of help. You're right about the drawings being the wrong way around in the AOTS book. I'm pretty certain that the Sea Cutters are 25ft though. Not sure of my source - I'm still away from home.

    Harvey, My recollection (from reading AOTS notes (I think the drawings were slightly out from the notes) and I think the AOTS notes are supported by Longridge, though I'm away from home at the moment and can't check): Launch - 34ft Barge - 32ft Pinnace - 28ft Jolly Boat - 18ft Cutters (x2) - 25ft (these being the ones carried on the quarter davits and clinker planked). As for scaling, the math is fairly straight forward. If "X" is the actual size in feet, then to convert to mm at 1:98 scale: "X"ft x 12 (inches per foot) x 25.4 (mm per inch) / 98 or, more simply: "X" ft at 1:98 scale = "X" x 3.11 mm So: 34ft = 105.74mm 32ft = 99.52mm 28ft = 87.08mm 25ft = 77.75mm 18ft = 55.98mm Hope that is helpful.

    Very nice progress David.

    Another masterpiece (and master class) to follow along with Ed - I'm pulling up a chair too!

    Just think of them as "practice" Harvey Are you going to clinker plank the cutters?

    That's some seriously nice work there Harvey!

    Congratulations Jerry on completing another fine build. You can be justifiably proud of your efforts.

    Congratulations on completing a very fine build Joe! You can be justifiably proud of your accomplishment.

    Nice to see you back Bill. When are we going to see this and see that?

    Great work, as always, Mobbsie. Please keep blazing the trail for the rest of us - we'll catch up again eventually!

    I have to agree with Kurt about Ken's book. It's a real beauty - both informative/instruructive, and a fabulous "coffee table" book for the pictures alone.

    Nice to see this lovely build underway again Wayne.

    That's got to be the understatement of the year Harvey! That is WAY better than anything you could buy. Excellent work!

    Wonderful work, as always, Bob.

    Nicely done Jerry. Colour coding seems to make sense too.
  16. gjdale
    That's looking really good Harvey!

    I'm a little late to the party Nils, but this looks like it's going to be a real beauty. I'm in for the ride!

    Jerry, I seem to recall that Mobbsie built this model (might have been before the "great MSW crash"), and he used Celtic emblems (coats of arms?) for his shields - just to be a little different.
  19. gjdale
    Great to see you having a go at scratch building the boats Harvey! Looks like you've made a good start there.
  20. gjdale
    Glad to see you solved your soldering problem Stuart. The guard rails are looking good.
  21. gjdale
    That looks terrific Jerry. Sorry, but I can't offer any advice re the shields. I'm sure that whatever you choose will look great.
  22. gjdale
    Great work Augie - I can only echo everyone else's comments.
  23. gjdale
    I agree Mike - the flat looks better.
  24. gjdale
    Congratulations on both milestones Joe! Your ship is looking superb. Hope you get to indulge yourself with many ship modelling goodies to celebrate the other milestone!
  25. gjdale
    Congratulations on completing the rigging Bob - a very satisfying milestone to reach. She looks absolutely superb. Why not add a scratch built boat? I'm sure that with the skills you've demonstrated many times over already, you would produce something worthy of the rest of your build. Just sayin'................

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.
