    She's looking pretty swish, Kevin! John

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

    That's one whale boat that will stand out in a crowd, Mario! The internal colour would certainly make it easier to see at sea. John

    Hello and a warm welcome to MSW from 'Down Under'. John

    Justin is correct on this. As shrouds were usually made up with cable laid rope, you just need to remember that the tail of the shroud should be on the right when the shroud is turned in. John

    She looks pretty finished to me, mate! that's been quite a ride watching the evolution of this beautiful model. John

    Well, I suppose it looks fairly reasonable, Keith. John

    Hello Geo, and a warm welcome to the forum. That's a very interesting looking model you have there, and well worth restoring, in my opinion. She may or may not be based on an actual ship, but the general style looks to me like a north European coaster from the 1950's period. It might be worth looking for images of period coasters to get an idea of the general look of these vessels. john

    Those oars look very Egyptian, George! John

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

    Very elegant benches, Keith! If you have a steady hand (as a model maker, I assume you have) you could try focus stacking hand held. One of the blokes on the bird photography forum I belong to hand holds to take wonderful focus stacked images of insects. John

    Crikey, Eric, you've certainly come a long way since I last looked in. Can't wait to see the completed model. Thanks very much for your detailed explanation of the use of the grasshopper poles. Such arrangements weren't used on our river boats, so I didn't have a clue about them. John

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

    Mast counterweights seems reasonable, George. It may well be a case of, if they're not counter weights, then what on earth are they? John
  25. Jim Lad
    No excuses for not having super detail on that scale! what a fascinating project! 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.
