    Nice going, Popeye. I'm looking forward to seeing all those bits come together. John

    31 years? Congratulations, Denis - we hope you and Phyllis have many more. John and Pam

    Hello Jim, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. Ferrocement yachts were once very popular. Perhaps you should consider building a model of one just to keep your hand in! John

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

    She really is looking 'the goods', Eric. Can't wait to see further progress. John

    Hello Eric, and another warm welcome from across the ditch! John

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

    Ahhh, the wonder of wood! Looks good after your fix, Popeye. John

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

    She's a big beast when you see her upright like that, Keith! John
  12. Jim Lad
    You also still have the 'Trincomalee' in Hartlepool and the 'Unicorn' and 'Discovery' in Dundee - at least! John
  13. Jim Lad
    That looks fairly reasonable, Keith! Beautiful work, mate. John
  14. Jim Lad
    Oops! Missed the 'Britannia in the list! Besides, my brother-in-law lives in Fort William, so still south! John
  15. Jim Lad
    Sounds like all your ships were down south, Pat. Did you manage to get up north at all? John
  16. Jim Lad
    Looking forward to seeing what you're up to on her, Popeye! John

    Good to see you're back on your ship models, Popeye! John

    Hello Marcus, and a warm welcome to the forum. John
  19. Jim Lad
    All ready to go, Mark! John

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

    Just catching up with what you've been up to, Eric. She's looking really nice! John
  22. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Keith. I'm still tossing up between Privet (which is what the framing is) or Cherry Ballart - a dark coloured Australian native timber. My current thinking is that the Cherry Ballart will be too dark. I might save that for highlighting details. John

    Another small update. Some of my time at the museum lately has been taken up with things other than modelling, but I've been continuing to work slowly on the internal cleaning up of the hull. In the photo below you can see that the starboard side has had a lot of work done on it, but the port side is still awaiting attention. She'll get there eventually! John

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

    That all looks very realistic, Gary. 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.
