    Just catching up after being away for a while, mate. She's really looking the ant's pants. Great job! John

    I agree with OC, mate - she's really looking the part now. John

    It always feels good to get that first plank fitted - almost like the model has now been properly started. John

    Good solution, mate. John

    Well, the 'Meteor' finally has a stern! The major elements of the transom framing are now in place so she's looking like a ship at last. Still some detail pieces to fit around the transom and then some final fairing up and sanding of the exterior before I give her a bit of planking to firm up the whole structure. It will be a little while until my next update as I won't be in at the museum for the next three weeks. John

    Wow! She's really coming along, Popeye. She's looking first class. John

    Thanks Pat and GL. I'm currently planning on leaving the lower part of the hull unplanked, but I'll see how it goes. John

    Another update. The rough fairing around the stern is now done and the whole hull looks a lot more civilised now. Next step will be to start on the transom framing and then a total clean up of the outside of the hull before some planking starts. I really feel that getting to the stage of thinking about the transom framing is a real milestone. I seem to have been stuck on the main hull framing for ever. John Some photos:

    A start on the model itself! One giant step for mankind (to be topical ). 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.
