    Coming along beautifully, mate! John

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

    Red 'not under command' lights (at least at the time of the 'Michelangelo') had to be visible all around the horizon - not just from ahead. The only navigation lights in the position of these lights on the mast would be white 'vessel under tow' lights. John

    I go away for a few weeks and you've half finished another model! It's just not safe to leave the house with you loose in the workshop, Popeye! John

    Just catching up after having been away for a while, Dan. She really is looking first class - especially those magnificent funnels. The only nit is those mast lights - definitely all white lights, as Druxey said. John

    The things that happen while you're away! She's looking really excellent, Pat! John

    Crikey, Piet! I go away for a few weeks and you've almost got your beautiful 'Java' completed. She sure looks first class. John

    You've been making some nice progress while I've been away. John

    Looking good, Mario! You've sure made some progress while I've been away. Can't help with you're questions, I'm afraid, as American colonial era building is a bit out of my area. John

    Hello Greg, and a warm welcome to the forum from down in Sydney. John

    You've done an impressive amount on the 'Hood' while I've been away, Danny - she really looks the 'ant's pants'! And thanks for the reminder to get my 'flu jab now that I'm back home!! John

    Oops! I keep forgetting about modern child protection and the need to protect the little ones from what goes on around the internet! John

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

    Come on, Sam; everyone knows that seaweed is short and grows in little tufts on the bottom! You certainly have a great crew assisting you there. Any chance of a photo of them? John
  17. Jim Lad
    Coming along at your usual lightning pace, Popeye! John

    Hello Jobbie, and a warm welcome to the forum from down in Sydney. John

    All you need now is some water sloshing across the deck! John
  20. Jim Lad
    You don't let the grass grow, do you Danny? I'm looking forward to following another of your fabulous card builds. John
  21. Jim Lad
    Not health related, Denis - family. I don't think I'll be able to access the forum during our time away. John
  22. Jim Lad
    Will there be enough room to see the skeleton of the captain through that peephole? John
  23. Jim Lad
    She really looks first class on that stand, Danny. Congratulations on a beautiful and complex build. John

    Great progress with your guns, Piet. An interesting storey of the aerial attack on 'Java' that involved 'Hobart'. 'Hobart' was a lucky ship. She saw extensive action in the Mediterranean prior to the Japanese entry into the war and was unable to participate in the Battle of the Java Sea as she had been refuelling in Tandjong Priok when both she and the refuelling tanker came under heavy aerial bomb attack. Both she and the tanker suffered splinter damage and 'Hobart' was unable to complete her refuelling, thus missing this disastrous battle. She survived the war and was paid off into the reserve fleet in 1947. John

    Thanks for the kind thoughts Pat and Piet. Piet - William Heath Robinson was an English illustrator who devised all sorts of weird and wonderful machines - he was just a few years older then Goldberg. The saying 'Heath Robinson contraption' came to mean a make do string and wire solution to a problem. 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.
