    Great to know that you've come through your medical problems OK, Bruce. It's a delight to see more photos of your lovely clipper. John

    Continuing your first class work, Danny! John

    Just had another thought, Pat (I have some occasionally)! Late 19th/early 20th century sailing ships often had bullseye fairleads lashed to the shrouds to lead some of the light running rigging from aloft to the pin rail. Is that, perhaps, what he's talking about? John

    Very nice work, mate! John

    Welcome home! John

    First time I've come across the expression, Pat. I'll be interested to see what information people have on this. John

    Hello Adam, and another warm welcome from 'Down Under'. John
  8. Jim Lad
    Wow! She's looking very workman-like, Popeye! John
  9. Jim Lad
    Nice bit of smithing, Danny! John
  10. Jim Lad
    You're really cooking with gas now, Popeye! John
  11. Jim Lad
    Looking really good, Bob! John
  12. Jim Lad
    Nice work on the plating, Bob. John

    More beautiful work, Nils. Just for your information, the English term for that type of boat davit is 'radial davit'. I don't think I'd include the gratings at the bottom of the ladder unless you have evidence for them on the original ship - it would be a very unusual feature. John

    Popeye, as it's a half forecastle, there wouldn't have been ladders to it. It was usual to have the crew toilets up as close to the forecastle as possible. John

    Even with the break to save your son's car, she's still coming along nicely, mate! John
  16. Jim Lad
    Love the photos of the entire model - she looks absolutely stunning. John

    I think 'shock absorber' is a very good practical description, Keith. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Nice start, Danny! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Nice to see an update on the beautiful lady, Michael. John
  20. Jim Lad
    Coming along very nicely, Bob. John
  21. Jim Lad
    Just catching up, Maury. She's really looking first class. John
  22. Jim Lad
    You've just started, and she already looks a lady, Gil! John
  23. Jim Lad
    And no doubt you'll be studying a copy of Tom Roberts' 'Bailed Up'. John
  24. Jim Lad
    She's really coming together with that beautiful detail, Keith. John
  25. Jim Lad
    Your replacement davit fits in perfectly, Michael. More beautiful work. 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.
