    Hang in there, Keith. remember, if it does come to surgery, the surgeons have had another five years' experience to make them even better! John

    Any photos of the 'Duchess' are helpful, mate, even at this late stage! John

    Thanks, Pat. There are a few other very minor inconsistencies, but the gratings are rather obvious. There are pieces in George's 'box of bits' that I inherited that indicate he was going to add sections to square off the grating corners, but I think they's look better with new gratings. john

    Karl, Thank you for more photos of the 'Duchess'. The straight line of planking across the poop was a result of the previous model maker, George, altering the model to conform to her later configuration of the poop with it extended on each side to form a straight bulkhead right across the ship - there was really no other way to make this alteration as the original builder (mac) had used solid timber sheets lined with ink for the decking. I'm aware of the anomaly with the after gratings but have yet to do something about them. That's a great photograph of Pamela at ease on the grating. John

    Thanks for that photo! 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.
