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

    First class buoys and markers, Popeye! She really looks a treat. John
  3. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Piet! Hopefully all will be fine. John
  4. Jim Lad
    Oops! We all do it, mate! John
  5. Jim Lad
    Great to see you back, Doris! John

    Nice to see you back at work on her, Adrian. John

    Thanks, Denis! John

    Russ, didn't they use wooden wedges to secure the tarps on the boats? John
  9. Jim Lad
    Good grief, man! You've only just opened the box and the model is half finished! John

    Thanks Keith - just a routine check up, but it means a general anaesthetic, which I don't find pleasant! Thanks, too, to all those who have pushed the 'like' button! John

    Thanks very much for the support, Fellas! I won't be doing anything for the next couple of weeks as I'm in hospital next Monday for a regular check up. John

    Another update at last. Things have been moving even more slowly than usual due to the renovations at the museum and the consequent disruption that's been caused, but at least I've got a fair bit of fairing done to the forward frames - especially inside the hull. It might not look like much in the photos, but I'm really pleased with the progress I've been able to make with cleaning up - especially on the forward few frames. John

    Hello Deaz, and a warm welcome from 'Down Under'. John

    She really looks 'the goods', Patrick - beautiful work. John
  15. Jim Lad
    You're really making good progress, Piet. She certainly is a complex build. John

    Hello Midelburgo, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John
  17. Jim Lad
    Aha! Thanks for that. John
  18. Jim Lad
    She just looks better and better, Danny. Any idea why two of those turrets had the 'things' sticking out the side and the others didn't? John
  19. Jim Lad
    Nice looking hatch, Russ. John
  20. Jim Lad
    It just gets better and better, Danny! John
  21. Jim Lad
    She's really coming on - and looking beautiful, Marc. John
  22. Jim Lad
    Now she's really starting to look like a 'Denis model'. John
  23. Jim Lad
    And people wonder why it takes so long to build a model! More beautiful work, Mark. John
  24. Jim Lad
    Still coming along nicely, Håkan. I wonder if you're cutting down the top sides of your planks just a little too much near the ends, thus having the accumulated error resulting in the effect that you see in your hull? 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.
