    She's really looking the part, mate. That wheel recessed into the deck is interesting. Our river boats over here didn't have wheels that large. John

    Thanks very much for those references. Looks like I'll have to do a fair bit of translating. John

    Thanks, Denis. Back at the museum this morning after our break up north. It might take me a while to get back into what I was doing! John

    Just catching up after some time away. She's really looking superb, Gary! John

    What a delightful model. I'm glad I found your build log. John

    Sorry, Pete - I should have mentioned - Privet isn't available commercially, but when you said you were using Camphor I assumed you had access to private supplies. John

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

    A nice colour, Pete, but perhaps a bit grainy? Are you able to get your hands on any privet locally? It has a beautiful pale colour and very fine grain. If you check one of my build logs you can see what it looks like on a model. John

    Pete, I've never had to import wood, so I'm not sure. You might check the web sites of our forum sponsors, though. They're all professional outfits and should be OK. John
  24. Jim Lad
    Pete, I very much doubt that pearwood would be available here in Oz, but importing it shouldn't be a problem so long as you're getting it from a recognised professional timber supplier. John

    Hello Anthony, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. I hope all you Florida members are well battened down at the moment!! 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.
