    Tomorrow, Sunday March 24th, Sjors and I will participate in the "Dead Man's Ridge Walk" - to honor the 17th Airborne Division. They played a major part in helping the Allies win the Battle of the Bulge, the biggest and bloodiest battle of World War II. Sarah Lagoon (Slagoon) made us aware of this walk. Her grandfather, Melvin Lagoon, fought in that war. And this will be the first time he returns to Belgium. We are planning to meet him and his son Donald, Sarah's father....

    Hello Theo, At this stage the hull is looking good. And sometimes you have to use your imagination to use whatever is needed to hold those planks in place. I'm looking forward to your progress. Take care Anja

    Hello Mobbsie, Yes, even at our age we are still learning. But as long as we're having fun….. But instead of cutting the lines individually and do it the long way, couldn't you just widen the cutting line a bit more to the left? That way the gun ports will have the right size. Just an idea Take care, Anja

    HMS Cavalier?

    Is it a Halcyon class minesweeper, maybe the RMS Halcyon itself?

    Hello Wim, Nice job on the tail. It will look good once it's finished. Take care, Anja

    Augie, you are right, without masts no rigging and no ratlines. I think Sjors is racing his two ships against eachother. The one that wins, will be the first one receiving its mast ..... And then the rigging must begin. I'm sure he will enjoy that and what you said about that microscopic dab of glue on each one (x's 5-10,0000). Take care, Anja

    Hello Mobbsie, Congratulations on finishing the planking. Well done! But I don't see any dip! By the looks of it you've already fixed it. But tell me something, we have just one hour time difference, but with you it's already March 17? Maybe you have to change the date in your camera. I will turn Skype on, but first I have to do some ironing and have dinner. Will be fun talking to a Mobbsie in the future (just kidding) Talk to you later. Take care my friend, Anja Sorry, I nearly forgot ..... Congratulations on your promotion.

    Hello Wayne, You are right. I don't see it in Bill's post, he did gave the correct name, but not the type. This odd-looking ship is indeed USNS Mizar (T-AGOR 11), a special-mission ocean survey/"ocean engineering" ship. Mizar was commissioned in 1958 as an arctic cargo ship (AK 272). In 1964 she underwent a hurried conversion to an ocean survey ship to assist in the search for the sunken USS Thresher (SSN 593); she was redesignated AGOR 11. After locating Thresher, she underwent a more complete conversion to her new role and embarked on a long and interesting career. She was taken out of service in 1992. More information is to be found here: http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-m/ak272.htm Take care, Anja

    Bill, you have to be a bit more specific. Take care, Anja

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.
