    Ummm, some masts? John

    She's really coming along well, Piet! John

    Interesting methods for tiny eyebolts, Danny. I'm looking forward to your final assessment of all three methods. John

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

    Sorry for the delay in replying, Nils - I've been having internet connection problems! I was always usual to stow the steering oar with the blade pointing aft as it was then a quick move to pick it up and fit it over the stern as the boat was launched. The rowing oars were therefore stowed with their blades forward so that they wouldn't be confused with the steering oar in the dark. Even when lifeboats were fitted with a rudder and tiller, they still carried the steering oar. John

    Obviously your helper is doing a very good job of training you, Keith. Thanks for more pics of your superb metalwork. John

    Hello Louie, and another warm welcome from 'Down Under'. John

    Been having internet connection problems, so I'm catching up yet again, Danny. She's really come on beautifully since my last visit. John
  16. Jim Lad
    Clever, Danny. I don't think I'd have thought of using a jig with card. John
  17. Jim Lad
    Coming along nicely, Danny. John

    She really looks superb, Nils - congratulations. I noted that you've stowed the oars in the boats with the blades facing forward which is, of course, the correct way for them to be! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Nice to see that you're settled in and the model is moving ahead again. John
  20. Jim Lad
    Definitely not a section to start on after a visit to the pub, Danny! I bet you're going to use a new blade for that little lot! John
  21. Jim Lad
    Now it's getting ridiculous, Danny! John
  22. Jim Lad
    Looking good, mate! John
  23. Jim Lad
    That boat looks good under its davits, Nils. The English term for a lifeboat pulley is 'fall'. John
  24. Jim Lad
    Crikey! It's certainly not very big when you see it like that, Danny! John
  25. Jim Lad
    Danny, if you're not completely satisfied with that capstan, then have another go at it - otherwise it will continue to bug you for ever. 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.
