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

    Thanks, Patrick! John

    Richard is in on Thursday. Unfortunately George, our Friday model maker, is currently not very well. John

    Just found your log. This looks a very nice steamer to build. John

    Looks good, Mark. Pierre is great for scale, but the dime means nothing outside of your borders! John

    Very nice progress, Keith. It looks like the rubbing strip isn't a rubbing strip but just some fancy decoration. John

    Thanks Steven and Danny. I hope you also noticed 'Stag' and 'Frances Pritt' on the shelf, Danny! John

    I've been a bit slack with updates, I'm afraid, but there's a little more progress to show. 'Meteor' is now sporting a keelson and a pair of stringers on each side of the hull. These will all now have to be dowelled and properly cleaned up as they will be visible on the completed model if I go ahead with my current plan to only partially plank the hull. Once that's done I can think about completing the stern framing and giving the outside of the hull some final fairing up before I start to think about planking. John

    Exactly which line are you talking about, Heinrich? John

    Very nice, Gary! John

    Another reason for plenty of Carley floats, Dan - how many of those soldiers couldn't swim? John

    Finally catching up with what you're up to, Mark. Looking good, mate! John

    This will make a very nice model, Heinrich. Something very different to the usual whaler we see. John

    Very nice work on that forward deck, Dan. She looks really good. John

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

    That looks a really nice slab for the base, Mark. I think I'd be inclined to leave the remainder of the bark on - more contrast with the beautiful finish of your model. John

    A beautiful job, Mark. When does your daughter start her first model ship? John

    A really delightful little model, Andy! 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.
