    You were right first time - McHale's Navy for sure! 😀 John

    Continues to impress, Paul. John

    Your speedster is coming together very well, mate! John
  4. Jim Lad
    Me too, Steven. I'm thinking of using silkspan for the sails on the 'Duchess'. John

    Great stories, Phil! John

    Good to see her still progressing. John

    Thay look like vent pipes from tanks, Keith. John
  8. Jim Lad
    You've done a very neat job of that carving! John
  9. Jim Lad
    That's a wonderfully complex piece of work, Richard. As for doing all the framing up - you could equally ask why people building period warships go to the trouble of all the faming detail that will be hidden! 😀 John

    Always a delight to see your posts, Keith. I'm interested to see what your cunning plan is for the prop. John
  11. Jim Lad
    Delightful, precise work, Gary! John
  12. Jim Lad
    That planking has gone on very nicely. John
  13. Jim Lad
    very neat looking plating, mate! john

    If you weren't so far away, I'd get you to come over and re-finish some furniture for me. 😀 John

    I think I'd be inclined to add the whelps. They were to help with rope slippage around the drum. John
  16. Jim Lad
    At least give it a try, Keith. You may well find that it's not as difficult as you think. John

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

    Carved in my favourite timber - privet! Any good, close grained timber would serve, Keith. The scrolls were carved in relief on a thin piece of wood, which is the backing you can see behind the carvings. I drew the scrolls onto tracing paper and the put the tracing paper over the wood and drawing side down and drew over the lines from the other side. This transfers the original drawing onto the wood and also gives you a drawing on the opposite side of the paper so you can draw a mirror image for the scrolls on the other side of the ship. John

    Keith, you could always just take a deep breath and try carving. Many years ago I did the gingerbread on my model of the 'Leon' (1:96) using very small chisels ground from large needles, which is not as difficult as it might sound. It might at least be worth a try. John

    Just catching up, Paul. She really is looking the 'ant's pants'. John
  22. Jim Lad
    Pat, I think that's all part of the same anchor - the one that wasn't on the forecastle when she was wrecked. If you look at Karel's photo you can see another anchor behind the two crew members and extending off the starboard - that's the one that was on board when she struck. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Great to see you back to building, Ilhan. John
  24. Jim Lad
    I'm sorry I haven't caught up with your model before. She looks really first class. John
  25. Jim Lad
    She's coming along very nicely. 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.
