    That's funny, Nils - in English it's also called a 'telemotor'. John
  2. Jim Lad
    Well, of course you'd put in working door locks, Danny! John
  3. Jim Lad
    She's coming along beautifully, Gil! John
  4. Jim Lad
    More delightful work, Nils. Just for your information, the platform above the bridge is called the 'monkey island' in English! John
  5. Jim Lad
    A brave move, Mark - but it's no good leaving it if you're not completely happy. John
  6. Jim Lad
    You do more in a day than I do in a week, mate! John
  7. Jim Lad
    A very nice job on the stern, Dan. John
  8. Jim Lad
    G'day Richard, and a warm welcome to the forum. Always good to see another Aussie here. John
  9. Jim Lad
    That's a huge project you've undertaken, but it will be a lasting memorial to your grandfather. John

    Very nice, Nils. Your telegraphs are actually set on 'slow ahead' - the bridge telegraphs are marked in the opposite way to the repeaters in the engine room! John
  11. Jim Lad
    Not my model, Mark, but I think if it was I might be inclined to leave to holly in if it looks good. John
  12. Jim Lad
    Just delightful, Keith! John
  13. Jim Lad
    Nice to see that you've got stuck into another one, Jason. She really looks a treat. John
  14. Jim Lad
    I usually do just that - lower masts starting from forward and then work aft and up, however don't make this an invariable rule. Study your rigging very carefully before you start as there may be peculiarities on your particular ship that necessitate a variation to the norm. John
  15. Jim Lad
    Very nicely done, Popeye! John
  16. Jim Lad
    Popeye - WARNING! Those whisker booms will catch on everything within 50 yards of the model!!! Be very careful when working anywhere near the forward end of the model! John
  17. Jim Lad
    Coming along very nicely, Nils! The whole model is most impressive! John
  18. Jim Lad
    What it looks like is absolutely beautiful, Danny. Of course the wheel hubs stand out a bit at the moment! John
  19. Jim Lad
    She's really looking the ant's pyjamas, Popeye! John
  20. Jim Lad
    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
  21. Jim Lad
    Continuing your first class work, Danny! John
  22. Jim Lad
    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
  23. Jim Lad
    Very nice work, mate! John
  24. Jim Lad
    Welcome home! John
  25. Jim Lad
    First time I've come across the expression, Pat. I'll be interested to see what information people have on this. 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.
