    That's a very clever solution to waterline marking! John

    Pavel, this is a typical 'V' shaped wooden lifebuoy rack from a late 19th century sailing ship, the Polly Woodside. Other designs of racks wre used, but this one is of the period. John

    This is Privet, mate - it's a noxious weed in this part of the world and grows into quite a fair sized tree if left on its own. Wood can resemble box very closely - and being a noxious weed, nobody minds if you go out with your chainsaw! John

    Thanks, Eric. Perhaps I should make a small correction, though - this is a Hamburg ship, not a German ship, as unification didn't officially take place until 1871! John
  23. Jim Lad
    From odd bits of scrap to believable steam engines - the joy of being a model maker! John
  24. Jim Lad
    Hey, what's going on here? I thought you were building an Aussie destroyer, mate! John
  25. Jim Lad
    I've made steel cargo blocks at 1:100, but I can see how they'd be a real problem at your scale. The overall effect you've achieved looks good. 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.
