    Just catching up on your model, Valeriy. Absolutely beautiful work. John

    Keith, I think I'd be "relatively satisfied" with that effort, too!! 😀 John

    I somehow missed that photo you posted on Friday, Mark. What a great shot of a small yacht powering along! John

    Simon, I think you'll find that the Suez and Panama Canals were built for purely economic reasons. Sailors were cheap and low status; it didn't matter if they didn't come home! Those "water doors" are usually called freeing ports. John

    That's funny, Steven - it looks exactly the same colour as the original! 🙂 John

    Stunning woodwork, Ilhan! John

    The multiple sections helps the boiler fires to draw better. 😀 John

    It's been a while since the last update, so here's the latest on the 'Duchess'. In this first image there hasn't been a explosion on the forecastle, rather I've finally decided I can't live with the forecastle railing in the wrong position, so the after ends of the railings have been ripped out of the waterways in preparation for fixing inboard of the sidelights. Here are the railings in their new position - still a bit of cleaning up to do. This is the current state of the model. At least she's starting to look like a sailing ship (even if I do get questions asking whether she was steam ore diesel powered) Before too much more rigging takes place, I'll need to go back along the deck correcting more errors that have become apparent and finishing off bits and pieces.

    Two English books; Robert Kippins's 'Masting and Rigging' (1856) and George Biddlecombe's 'The Art of Rigging' (1848) may be of use to you. Both are available in modern reprint copies. John

    Great to see that could bounce back from that disaster, Steven. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Looking good! 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.
