    She's really looking first class, Danny - lots of delightful detail. John

    She really is looking 'the ant's pants' Keith! John

    You're making excellent progress, Ken. John

    I've not seen bowsprits square right to the outboard end, David, but I'm not too familiar with early American craft. Many smaller ships didn't have ratlines, so it may well be intentional. That painted deck looks really nice - well worth preserving.

    She's really coming along, Danny! John

    Welcome home, Ron. John

    An early brigantine by the look of her. Try a Google search on 'Baltimore Clipper' for similar vessels. No idea of the actual ship, but she certainly looks like she'd be worth restoring - although there's a lot of work ahead of you! John

    She's coming along nicely, Pat. That's going to be one impressive model when it all comes together. John

    Your blacksmithing is very impressive, Mark. John

    She's really looking very impressive! John

    Looks very realistic, Russ. John

    That's looking really nice, Danny - great job! John

    Looks a tricky one to build, Russ, but it seems you're on top of it! John

    She's still coming along nicely, Popeye. John

    Hello Dave, and a warm welcome to MSW from 'Down Under'. John

    Just catching up on your progress, Jim - she's really looking superb. John

    A quick Google search shows this as being advertised for sale in three different books of the time. It is described as being published "On a large broadside of two sheets super royal." That's two sheets each sized 483 x 686 mm. As it was published on two very large sheets of paper, it's doubtful that any copies survive except, perhaps, in highly specialised libraries. John

    It's good to see you back, Andy, but I'm sorry to hear about your eyesight problems. As was once said to me, "A seaman can turn his hand to most anything," so I'm sure something will turn up that interests you - after all, John Masefield left the sea and became Poet Laureate! John

    Hello Tristan, and a warm welcome to MSW from 'Down Under'. John

    Very nicely done, Keith. Can hardly wait for the next update. John
  22. Jim Lad
    That's a nice, workmanlike paddle wheeler - very different to our river boats down here. I'll be keen to see your progress. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Looking good, mate! 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.
