    Beautiful job John. What is next in line?

    I like your rope coiling jig. Will have to try that when i get to that point. I had tapped brads into a block of wood but it was very clumsy. I am learning that taking time to make a good jig for repetitive tasks is always a good idea.

    I broke a bow sprit on a model, I think it was my AL Harvey model. Glue and wrapping with heavy black thread made it look fine. An “at sea jury rig”. 🙂

    She continues to look better and better, John, as she nears completion. I miss working on my models. But we are in a condo in Myrtle Beach until the new house is finished. On the up side, we got our first COVID vaccinations.

    Looking great John. I expect it will be April or May before I can get back to my Morgan. Everything is all packed up and we’ll be moving out in a couple of weeks. But in some ways it’s been nice to take a break from modeling. ron

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.
