    That really looks fiddley work, Piet. John

    The beautiful work continues - and a very nice recovery on the swimming pool. It's odd that there's no standard compass on the monkey island or gyro repeaters on the bridge wings - we are talking 1965, after all. How did they take bearings? John

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

    She's coming along very nicely, Piet. Just to make life difficult for you, those oars may very well have had white painted blades! John
  5. Jim Lad
    She's progressing beautifully, mate! John
  6. Jim Lad
    You've made a good start. That will make a beautiful model. John

    Lovely little aircraft, Danny. Do they fly? John

    She looks absolutely first class, Bob. John
  16. Jim Lad
    Very nicely done, indeed, Dan. I think we all have 'no-one will ever know it's there' sections on our models - makes them just that little bit more special. John
  17. Jim Lad
    That really looks first class, Danny. You've certainly got the art of card building down pat! John
  18. Jim Lad
    If it was anyone else, I'd say, "Looks like you're nearly there," but knowing you, there's still a mass of intricate detail that's going to appear on the decks! John

    Clinker planking is great fun, Håkan. On the only serious clinker hull I've built I used cardboard molds - they worked well for me. I'd only just started planking my clinker hull when an old bloke stopped at the model makers' desk for a chat. Turned out he was a retired boat builder from Tasmania. He'd spent his entire working life building clinker boats. I asked him his advice on how to get the correct shape for each plank. He replied, "Well, just look at the shape of the hull and cut the plank." Oh, for 50 years experience in clinker building! John

    Thanks, Denis! John
  24. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Bob. Håkan, I'm thinking of employing some of the beetles to do the job! John

    Very professional looking launches, Danny 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.
