    She's looking really good, mate! John

    A very credible first model, Bill. Congratulations. John

    Riffler files are used for finishing and detail work. They can be very useful for filing in tight corners or odd shapes. John

    After all, we're all still here! John

    Allan; and you Americans reckon Australia has problems with dangerous animals? John

    He wasn't hit that hard, mate! By the way, there was such concern for the horse that TV news broadcasts shows film of the horse walking around in his stable - just to reassure viewers! John

    It was the general population's reaction that got me, Mark. Nothing much at all about the rally itself, but a massive reaction concerned for the horse's welfare! John

    Couldn't decide where this belonged, so I thought here was a good place as it's Australian. You may have heard that we had a massive anti Covid lock-down rally here in Sydney over the weekend. The crowd became quite aggressive and even a police horse was punched. Sydney's reaction to the protest? More than 40,000 people contacted the police to ask if the horse was OK!! John

    Coming along nicely, mate! I can see a full size build coming up after this. John

    Horrible news, Paul. I really feel for you. The next one will be even better. John

    A small, but important step forward. John

    If a ship were in port for only a short time with the sails sent down then all the sail rigging may well have been left in place, however if the sails were sent down for an extended period their associated rigging would also have been sent down, so it's really entirely up to you whether you show the sail rigging or not.

    Glen, Longhorns were imported into Queensland several years ago with the idea of cross breeding them with Brahmans. The Brahmans can handle the wet conditions in the tropical north, but they're a bit anti-social. the idea was to cross them with the gentle Longhorns to try and get a calmer beast that can be bred in the tropics. I've no idea whether the idea worked, but I sure loves seeing those Longhorns! John

    Can't think of anything else other than a windlass, but as has been said, don't know why they'd be so high. By the way Tom, did you mean that the model was built around 1900? The hull form looks more 18th century. John

    That piece of driftwood makes a wonderful base. 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.
