    Thanks Dave, I have a copy (paperback)m of the Sirius Past and Present, and a coffee table book of the First Fleet (the reenactment). Thanks for the feedback; I think only one of those would be useful then (if both are similar in content). I will. go with your advice re Alan Frost. I have a few books on the Investigator and Mather Flinders, as I have great interest in the early cartographers/explorers. The best of these I think is a large format hardcover written by Geoffry Ingleton. cheers Pat

    coming on really well Dave, that is some pretty neat planking for a first layer. Interesting reference material also; I may need to have a look at one or two of those also. Which would you recommend as the better (all round) of the two 'First Fleet' books? cheers Pat

    That 'acorn' is probably a ring bolt for the chain stays; certainly that is what they are in the 'Victoria' - the davits look very, very similar. I have been trying to adapt some soft metal ones with no luck. Are these resin prints? cheers Pat

    An interesting range of historical content there Richard, particular WRT your build. cheers Pat

    Wow that is some production line you have going Richard. A very consistent and high quality output; those jigs certainly worked out. cheers Pat
  30. BANYAN
    Great to see the planking going on Dave, she will be afloat before you know it. Hopefully you may see some progress in my shipyard soon. cheers Pat
  31. BANYAN
    An interesting question Richard; I too would be interested in knowing. Perhaps a question to jewelry supplier? cheers Pat
  32. BANYAN
    Great progress Rob, she is coming along very nicely cheers Pat
  33. BANYAN
    The second one (rock) for me also Glen. You can always say the rock is from Japan Seriously, I think the rock is more in keeping with a nautical theme. cheers Pat
  34. BANYAN
    Wow Rob, you really motoring (or should I say rollicking) along. Looking great. cheers Pat
  35. BANYAN
    Sorry to hear of the kidney stones - been there and know how much they can knock you about. Nice progress on the model. Cheers Pat

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.
