    A warm welcome to MSW from 'Down Under'. John
  2. Jim Lad
    Very neatly done, Mario! John
  3. Jim Lad
    Thanks, all - and for all who have hit the 'like' button. John
  4. Jim Lad
    Very realistic looking swaged splices, Mark. John

    Things are not going too well as far as progress on the 'Meteor' is concerned. I had a couple of weeks off from the museum with a medical issue, then got a few more frames fitted yesterday and now, due to other pressing commitments, I won't be back at the museum until May. Oh well, she'll still be waiting there for me. The photos below are of the few extra frames fitted and including my 'Heath-Robinson' framing jig (at least it works). John

    Great work, Danny. I'm looking forward to seeing her on her base. John
  7. Jim Lad
    Well, of course you have to have seaweed! John
  8. Jim Lad
    Great progress, mate! She's really going to look nice. John
  9. Jim Lad
    Catch up time again. Some vey interesting experiments going on there, mate! John
  10. Jim Lad
    And just to be pedantic, a point is 11 1/4 degrees! John
  11. Jim Lad
    What a great idea and a great way to get the kids' interest! Good on you. John
  12. Jim Lad
    Nice work on those guns, Piet! John
  13. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Danny! As Pam would say, a man on a galloping horse would never notice the railing fudge! John
  14. Jim Lad
    She's looking nice and cluttered like a real fisherman, Popeye! John
  15. Jim Lad
    Popeye, just send the money in small, unmarked, bills and we won't tell the admiral. John
  16. Jim Lad
    Nice work with the crewmen, Dan! John
  17. Jim Lad
    Mario, follow Mark's advice for the inside sanding, but watch you knuckles on the tops of the frames or you'll be getting them massy with your blood! John
  18. Jim Lad
    She's looking very flash, Pat! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Now there's an interesting project to have undertaken! It looks like you've really made some good improvements to the model, Dan. Just a small detail regarding historical accuracy for anyone building a cargo ship of the period - the hatch wedges that can be so clearly seen in the third photo are actually hammered in from the wrong direction - a strange oversight for a professional seaman. This is obviously No. 1 hatch, so the photos show the wedges hammered in from aft - they should have been hammered in from forward so that seas sweeping over the bow wouldn't tend to loosen the wedges. John

    It's good to see her with the decks 'inhabited' by gear and equipment, Piet. John
  21. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Popeye. Those additional pieces really finish off the bow nicely. John
  22. Jim Lad
    Just catching up, Maury - she really looks superb. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Hello Richard, and a warm welcome to the forum from the colonies! John
  24. Jim Lad
    Mark, I've somhow been missing your build log. Those guns are looking very nice indeed. John
  25. Jim Lad
    Those galleries are looking superb, Doris. 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.
