    very neatly done. John

    The simplest way to secure them would be with a net secured over the load. Were rope nets in use at the time? John

    She's coming along very nicely. John

    That's looking very neat, mate! John

    Just caught up with your thread. You're making a really nice job of that. John

    She really looks the part with all those barrels stowed in the hold. John

    A very nice looking working craft, Paul. She should build into a fine model. John

    Just catching up on your delightful little gem, Keith. Good to see the standard hasn't dropped at all. John

    "each one hand carved" - and hand painted! John

    Hello Tom, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John

    She continues to impress. The inclusion of bilge keels is probably a case of 'six of one and half a dozen of the other', but they would certainly assist in damping the rolling when she was lying beam on to the sea when fishing. John

    40 degrees (c) here in Sydney yesterday. Just coming into summer here on the civilised side of the world! John

    A very nice solution, Toni! John

    Very nice work on the sail, John - looks very realistic. John

    Love your sidelights. If you want to be super accurate (although it may look wrong), the sidelight glass for the starboard light would have been a very bluish green - the yellow candle light shining through the glass would then give a green light. John

    Hello Sooty, and a warm welcome to MSW from 'Down Under'. That's a very nice looking model of your dad's ship. John

    Looking very nice, indeed. John
  21. Jim Lad
    Very interesting photos of the slipway, Jon. John
  22. Jim Lad
    Now there's an incentive to get on with this one! John
  23. Jim Lad
    An excellent job on the lantern, mate! John
  24. Jim Lad
    With curves such as the taffrail, It often works better to cut the curve from a wider piece og wood. John

    G'day Dougal, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. 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.
