    What Keith said! Better hurry up, Mark - the Sydney to Hobart starts in less than a week. John

    Hello Steve, and a warm welcome to MSW from 'Down Under'. John
  3. Jim Lad
    Congratulations, mate! John

    That all looks really nice, Dan. Yes, handrails were usually painted or varnished (if they were wood), but I agree that leaving yours bright adds a very nice touch. John

    Another one half finished already, mate! John

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

    I really like your cut-out windows, Danny. You might be able to fix the railing by holding it vertically and running a tiny bit of half-dried epoxy between the points. John

    Excellent work (as usual), Danny! John
  10. Jim Lad
    Thanks for that, mate! John

    Looking good, Dan. It was spring down here in the civilised part of the world - now (a very hot) summer! John

    Michael, that left hand fall looks just right from the photo! You can "unfuzz" using beeswax (which can look sticky if you're not careful and can attract dust) or some people run their rope (very) quickly through a flame such as a cigarette lighter. By the way, I trust the falls in the photo are simply for comparison as the fall (of course) needs to be spliced to the lower block. John

    I'm really pleased to see that work has resumed on this beautiful restoration, Michael. John

    Looking very nice, Adrian, but a question. Were the frames of flat plate or were they angle girders? John

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

    Nice to see her coming along, Mark! John
  17. Jim Lad
    She's really coming along beautifully, Bob. John

    Not sure what all that wood is for Keith, but it'll be interesting to find out! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Just catching up, Mark. Seriously good work! John
  20. Jim Lad
    Now she's really starting to look like a ship, Ken! John

    Hello John, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John
  22. Jim Lad
    Just crazy stuff! John
  23. Jim Lad
    A fascinating build! I'm watching with interest. John
  24. Jim Lad
    Just catching up, Pawel. She's really looking very nice indeed. John

    Nearly time to start three or four new models, mate! 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.
