    That swirl of water around the dock looks very realistic, Greg. John

    A very nice start to the planking! John

    That is really beautiful work, Keith! John

    Very nice, Phil! John

    Your careful progress is certainly paying off, mate! John

    Thanks, Keith. An interesting thought - the video - but I think we'd run up against privacy legislation (just for a start). 🙂 John

    I've been a bit slack in posting updates over the holidays, but the 'Duchess' has been quietly progressing in front of admiring holiday crowds at the museum. It always worries me that the unprotected model is very close to the public, unlike on the dedicated model makers' desk which was intentionally built wide, but I never have to worry about the kids touching the model - just (occasionally) their parents. As you can see, the standing rigging is finally nearing completion (sans ratlines), with only a few more stays on the jigger and the mizzen spreaders to do. I'm now changing my focus to the sails and will hopefully play with the first sail - the flying jib - for a bit on Friday. John

    A very pleasing little craft to build, Jeff, and one that has an association with Oz as he visited Sydney on his epic circumnavigation. John

    And a very happy new Year to you too, Håkan! May the 'C' word never darken our doors again. John

    To me, there's little in model making more satisfying that finally getting that first plank on - unless it's getting the last one on! 🙂 John

    That boiler's finished up really well, Keith. By the way, your work bench looks a bit like mine! John

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

    A mate of mine, a builder by trade, once said to me, "A good painter has saved many a builder's reputation." By the way, she's looking very nice! John

    Late to the party again, but I made it at last. This will be interesting. John

    More lovely work, Paul. That's looks a great way to make cleats, by the way. John

    It might be a while, Steven, but she hasn't been forgotten. John
  22. Jim Lad
    That looks fairly reasonable, Keith! 🤣 John
  23. Jim Lad
    That looks very special, Mark - just like a bought one! John
  24. Jim Lad
    A lovely little subject to build, Steve. John

    I'm not sure how I missed the start of this log, but I've just read through it and will continue to follow your beautiful work. River boats of all kinds are always fascinating! 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.
