    How about thin aluminium sheet? It would be a bit harder to cut, but it would stand up to the moisture. John

    That rigging's looking first class, Paul. John

    It's actually a hot bulb engine, Mark - otherwise known as a semi-diesel. Pretty primitive and temperamental, but good enough for Gustaf Erikson to give specific instructions for its removal after the wreck. John

    Good to see you back in the workshop. John

    Thanks Steven. John

    Thanks for the comments, gents! Roel, the steam winch was already on the model when it came to me. The motor winch is made from odd scraps of wood, brass wire, watch parts and copper shim. Just a case of trawling through the scrap box for appropriate looking items. John

    Another small update. I finally got around to making the motor winch for No. 4 hatch and fitted it when I was in yesterday. John

    A little here, a little there, and all of a sudden you have a beautifully faired hull! 🙂 John

    Great work, Steven. I can't wait to get down that way again so I can have a ride on the real thing! John

    Beautifully executed miniature metal work. John

    Just catching up with your build. This looks a very interesting model. John

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.
