    Welcome to the club Bulwark. I think I know what you mean about tornado alley. While stationed at Ft. Sill, OK when in the Army in 72, I was in 4 tornados in just my first 2 months there! Concerning your upcoming build of AL’s Bluenose II, try to get your hands on Ships-In-Scale magazine issues JUL/AUG 03 thru MAY/JUN 04. It’s a six part practicum by John Earl that has many useful suggestions

    I have a question concerning how the ships pilot on the Phantom got transfered to the ship he was to pilot into port if the Phantom didn't have any boats on board to transfer him with? According to most of what I have read, most pilot boats, like the Mary Taylor for instance, carried at least one ship boat to make the transfer. The Mary Taylor was close to the same size as the Phantom and built around the same era. Did they transfer the pilot directly from the deck of the Phantom to the other ship? I was under the impression that pulling two larger ships close together, especially in rough weather, was a bit dangerous. Did they have some other way to get the pilot on the other ship that I am not aware of like some type of transfer rigging similar to what they used by the Navy during WWII? Maybe the ship he was to pilot sent out a boat of their own to pick him up,

    I have the same saw, and as I learned from my father, I made my own zero clearance inserts from wood. They are not difficult to make and are much cheaper than buying from Micro-Mark. I have used them many times and have had none of your problems with the plastic inserts. Dave

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.
