    Looks a nice type of working boat, Gary. It will be interesting to see how it develops. John

    Hang in there, Mark! We're with you mate - even when we live thousands of miles away from you. John

    You're really making good progress, Sjors. She's going to look first class. John

    Thanks, Steven. It all lined up satisfactorily when I was doing it, but I'll double check when I go in on Monday. John

    Meanwhile, back at the model ………. The stern after the aftermost frame was ripped out, leaving a mess on the sternpost and glue matted shallow frame rebates. The sternpost was cleaned up and fillers fitted into the rebates. The wing transom has been fitted. This transom is a straight line from sternpost to frame, but the transoms below it will be curved. Meanwhile the hawse pieces have been fitted and the bow roughly sanded.

    It's good to see that this project is still ticking away, Michael. John

    Gentlemen, if so august a scientific body as the Australian Museum describes Drop Bears, surely you must believe in their existence. Druxey, it is a fallacy that all Australian wildlife will kill you. There is not a single record of a fatal attack by Budgerigars. John

    Sorry, Mark - didn't have the camera with me. next week - I promise. John

    Sorry, Druxey - obviously an Australian product. There is (or was) a non-alcoholic drink sold in pubs (bars) and they had the slogan, 'the drink you're having when you're not having a drink.' It's found its way into the language over here. John

    A Claytons update (the update you're having when you're not having an update)! I got the last of the stern frames fitted last week and started work on the transoms yesterday. As the museum was very quiet, I actually got three transoms fitted! Then in the last twenty minutes I ripped out all the transoms and the frame I fitted last week. I said back near the start that I was feeling my way a bit with this model as it"s outside the period I'm familiar with - I was obviously feeling in the wrong direction as it just wasn't right. Next week I'll have another go and hopefully have a couple of photos to show that I'm now heading in the right direction again. 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.
