    Thanks

    Yes, I got plenty on the Kangaroo, Karangi and Koala, there was quite a fair amount on Barleycorn, Baritone and Barcarole. I just struggled with Barbican as I only got the info already mentioned, plus where she was built and one picture. I'll have a look through his service record for ship mates as you suggested. Thankyou

    I agree that the boxwood would look amazing tapered and joggled but you got to get just right, whereas the laser etched deck is done. If it were me I'd go with the laser deck. Hope this helps!!

    To be honest I may or may not of let go on purpose, to see if he would go up!! For research purposes only of course 😉😁

    Just an enquiry wether anyone has any information on HMS Barbican between 1950-1958. It's home port was Rosyth and went to the Med at the time of the Suez crisis but the Egyptians closed the canal and so she stayed at Valletta. I know she was a coal burner and launched in 1939. Have searched the internet but very little comes up about Barbican, her sister ships are a bit better documented, but Barbican is the one my dad served on therefore any info gratefully appreciated. Cheers 👍😀

    Yep, I did that as a kid, great fun. I tried with one of those soldiers with a parachute that you got to throw up and they would float down, he was last seen stuck to the front of the lorry following us on the motorway 😕

    Very nice planking, love the colour of your cherry. On the strength of that I think I may go the same way as I can get cherry boards easier than AYC

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.
