    Hello James, and a warm welcome to the forum from the other side of the Pacific. John

    You're making good progress. Remember the old saying, 'slow and steady wins the race'.

    Shortgrass, I've never seen any ship with vertically planked bulwarks. Occasionally the transom is vertically planked in late 19th century schooners. John

    Very nice looking clamps, mate! John

    Looks like a very nice model. I a ships were going to be docked for a long period the sails would be stowed along with their rigging, but if she was only docked for a short time the sheets, clewlines and buntlines my well have been left rigged - so as Allan says, your choice. John

    If you look at the manufacturer's illustration, you can see that all of the fore and main braces run forward instead of aft! John

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

    She's coming together nicely, mate! John

    You've made a really good start on her! John

    I'm really sorry to hear that, Rick, but glad that you can still work on 'Mayflower' (and visit us here, of course). John

    Have fun with the home schooling, Mario! John

    An interesting project. I have an ancestor who was a fisherman on the east coast of Scotland in the early 19th century. A bit early for a Zulu, but still of great interest. John

    What John Allen said!! John

    Looks like it will build into a nice model, but beware of the rigging. From the manufacturer's photo, it looks like a work of fiction. John
  21. Jim Lad
    That's a very handsome looking schooner, Allan. John

    Hello Devildog, 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.
