    Thanks for that, Mark. John

    Those Fairmiles were beautiful looking boats Pat. Interesting to see her as a ferry, but the motel unit is a bit of an insult, I think. That looks a good job on the diagonal planking. John

    A landmark day (of sorts) on Monday, with half the square sails now rigged (apart from their braces, of course). I should get the main lower topgallant crossed either Friday or Monday, so she's looking more and more like a sailing ship and less like an abandoned wreck! John

    Thanks for the update, Keith. Don't know why you're whinging about not being back in the workshop until Autumn - it's already Autumn - cold and rainy!! 😀 John

    Now THAT looks like weathered teak! John

    Very nicely tensioned chains, Keith. Obviously went on easily due to your overall expertise! 🙂 A great discussion on AI, by the way. Very helpful to the non-tech savvy like me. John

    Hello Isaac, and a warm welcome to the forum from across the ditch! John

    The oil finish certainly makes a difference, Siggi! John

    Looking good, Paul! John

    Hello Andrew, and welcome to the forum. Always nice to see a First Fleet ship being modelled. John

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

    I've only ever used a simple pair of tin snips. John

    Liked? It's very much loved! It looks first class on the stand! Congratulations on a job very well done, Greg. John

    A nice looking vessel, peter. John

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

    Sorry to clutter the thread, but Wefalck's comment re "Alone well-kept navy ships may present themselves well-ordered with everything at its place" reminded me of this painting of HMS 'Deal Castle' in 1775. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Good Grief! Just don't breathe hard near those lids, mate! John
  24. Jim Lad
    There can't be much more to add, Keith. John
  25. Jim Lad
    I certainly hope so, Keith! 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.
