    thank you all so much..... Denis, Martin, David, Bob, Michael and all the "likes" here a little update.... I`ve been at the lantern making this morning. I knew that I still had some clear PVC tube (for medical hospital oxygen masks) Together with with diam. 4 x 3 mm brass tube a square window was filed into the brass tube, and then the PVC tube was pushed into the framing lantern housings. There where the PVC tube passed the window it was bulbed out a bit, resembling the shape of the "glass" Nils filed a window into the brass tube push a clear PVC tube into the brass tube cut the tubes to length and fitted a concentric mounting pin The lanterns are fixed with a drop of CA (ca`nt solder here because of PVC). The overstanding holding pins will be clipped off to the right length watchout on station....

    Thanks very much Greg, yes, the doc. did give me confedence that he will be able to get all right again by means of certain injections to the nerve root area, so no surgery ! no more upset... For the Royal Caroline scratch build in 1: 32 as I am very curious of what will come, it must be quite a "beast"..... Nils

    Hi Greg, Thanks for your compliment and your good wishes...... My health is improving now day by day, and I`m very happy and grateful with that. Today started a slight carry on with the work again and cut and soldered the the brass tube-bits of the tapered foremast together. I saw in your signiture that you`ve taken over The "HMY Royal Caroline" from our freind Greg. (the peg leg sailor) Please pass on good wishes and all the best to him. The R.C. with open port side, showing all decks and in 1:32 "super scale" sounds a great project ! Is it a kit or scratch build ? Will you be starting a build log here.... ? Nils bottom diam. 6,5 mm, tapered in 5 steps to top 2 mm, length 330 mm

    Congrats to completing your lovely "Pickle" Peter, a beautiful built ship, and the nice full suit of sails give her just the right look..... For your coming project I thiink the yacht "America" is a great choise, I fell in love with her lines once and started scratch buiiding the model, the hull had to be sold though, due to it`s size. Am looking very much forward to your begin , resp. keellaying.... Nils

    a beautiful built sloop Dave, I love it that you`re scarce with the paint brush and let the warm wooden tones work out, that gives a realistic impression, also the deck cutaway, well done Nils

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.
