    Nice to see some more detail completed, Bob. John

    That detail really sets her off, Mark. John
  3. Jim Lad
    Great start, Gil. John

    O.C. - the keel blocks are placed exactly down the centre of the dock. When the ship is floated in she's centred in the dock (easy by judicious use of mooring ropes) and when the water is pumped out she settles on the keel blocks. John

    I agree with you that dragons are really beautiful boats, Gil. I'll be following along. John

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

    Looking good, Popeye, but I think the copper should come up a little higher. John

    Just caught up with this thread, Pat. Why not simply use an appropriately coloured thread and avoid the hassle? John

    I agree with the others - a new log, mate! John
  15. Jim Lad
    I think she looks nicer with that open rear deck, Bob - very elegant! John
  16. Jim Lad
    Absolutely delightful detail, Nils! John
  17. Jim Lad
    From a concept to a ship! John

    that deck has turned out well, Popeye. Regarding the placement of deck beams; yes, there would be a beam at either end of the hatches. John

    G'day, Sterling - welcome home! John
  22. Jim Lad
    Just superb, Keith! John
  23. Jim Lad
    A nice start to the deck, Popeye! John
  24. Jim Lad
    1/8" to 1' = 1:96! John

    Bob, I remember some years ago talking to a neighbour of my mother-in-law in England who was a model builder. At that time he was 94 years old and was in the planning stages of a scratch built 50 gun ship! Happy building, 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.
