    Every workshop should have a range of shipping tube clamps! 😀 Very nice work, Paul. John
  2. Jim Lad
    Deck fittings can be such fun, Phil (or not!). 🙂 John

    Thanks again for your guide to making these boats, Ilhan. That's a very accurate way of getting the ribs positioned correctly. John

    Thanks Nils. I'm finding that the rigging of a four master just seems to go on for ever! 🙂 John

    Very nice looking windows, John. John
  6. Jim Lad
    Very nice looking sails! John
  7. Jim Lad
    Lovely work (as usual) on those rigging components, Siggi! John

    We can see that she's growing. Keep at it, she looks great! John

    I use a hot iron on my silkspan sails, under a piece of baking paper and moving the iron quickly across the paper. John

    Thanks for your encouragement, Mark! John

    Hello, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John
  12. Jim Lad
    Really looking the ant's pants, Mark! John

    Thanks for the positive feedback on the sails, Keith. It really helps! Thanks Paul: I think you're right, but I'm afraid I would really like to see her finished and in a proper display case. Visitors keep saying I must have amazing patience, but sometimes I wonder. 🙂 And a warm thankyou to all those who have attached 'likes'! John

    Or maybe a model engineering supplier could help. John

    Just catching up, Greg. Great progress. John
  16. Jim Lad
    A little more progress on the 'Duchess'. All six yards are now crossed on the mainmast, so that leaves only six more square sails to rig. When I look at the model now, I sometimes think that she's getting towards completion; then I remember ratlines, braces, staysail sheets and deck details to complete and go back to wondering whether she'll ever get there! 😉 John

    Great to have such facilities for public use. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Very realistic work on that bottle. John
  19. Jim Lad
    A first class pictorial tutorial on your method of making vacuum formed boats, Ilhan. Thanks for that! John
  20. Jim Lad
    I think it's always very satisfying to get those first planks on - she starts to look like a real ship than. John
  21. Jim Lad
    She's certainly looking the goods, Pat! John
  22. Jim Lad
    Just catching up, Phil. She's coming along very nicely. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Just found your log. This looks a very interesting build. John
  24. Jim Lad
    Nice progress, John! John
  25. Jim Lad
    I agree with Ian! 🙂 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.
