Hello Antonio, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. "Acceptable quality" is what you think is acceptable for your model! John

For some reason I've only just caught up with your latest build, Eric. I agree that the humble work boats - large or small - have a special charm that their more glamorous sisters can never emulate. John

That dinghy looks good, Craig. I'm afraid your model will never be truly complete until you add a model of Archie to join the other two crew members. John

Welcome home, Richard. John

I hate to disagree with you Andy, but some early steel ships had bar keels. Here's another illustration from Pursey's book showing the construction of a bar keel at top left. I should add that Pursey was probably outdated even when it was first published in 1949. Such archaic tomes had no doubt been long withdrawn by the time you were studying for your tickets. John

Most of them didn't have the locking pin. Nils. They simply relied on the weight of the compressor bar to do the job. John

Not sure whether this will be any help, but an illustration from Pursey's 'Merchant Ship Construction (1969 edition). John

A beautiful model of an obviously much loved boat, Craig. Thaks for sharing your build with us. John

Coming along nicely, Nils. I'm surprised she had screw stoppers on her cables instead of simple compression stoppers like the ones below. 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.
