    Nice progress Steven; those arcades look good. It appears you have made best use of the grain direction to provide a little strength. cheers Pat

    Hi Pete, you've made some progress since I saw your diorama. I like the engineering you are using and assume the light beam (optical switch) is a better option than a limit switch at each end? Folks, having seen this diorama I can say that the actual construction looks even better to the eye than the photos show; a testament to Pete's artistic abilities. cheers Pat

    Hi Doug, that is unusual indeed. I can't help with the diagonal knees but there is some discussion about iron knees in James Peake - Rudiments of Naval Architecture_1851 (see plates 6 and 7 amongst others) which discusses the iron fittings used in hull construction. This is available as a pdf online. cheers Pat

    Thanks for looking Joss. WRT footropes, I soaked mine in diluted PVA and shaped them as they dried; might be worth a try? cheers Pat

    Richmond, also try Float-A-Boat in Melbourne for scale rope; they have a range. Also, you could try Modellers Central (ex Modellers Shipyard in Sydney. 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.
