    Nice to see the model under weigh. John

    Now that will make a lovely model, Druxey. Are you going to finish her complete with sweeps? John
  3. Jim Lad
    Nicely done, Pete. John

    More beautiful work, Paul. John

    If it's any help, Lloyds rules for 1890 give the outer plate thickness for iron ships of the size of the Warkworth as varying between 3/8" and 5/16". Can't go earlier for you, but I wouldn't think that there'd be much of a change over the two decades. John

    A traditional high pitched roof, eh! Will there be an attic window as well? John

    Hello Francesca, and welcome to the forum. Don't worry about your English - we can understand you very easily. John

    You can see her beautiful lines already, Keith. John

    Yet more very fine work, Remco. John
  12. Jim Lad
    You're really making a very nice job of what started out as a very simple kit, mate! John

    The further this build goes, the more I wonder whether it should be on MSW or Model Engineers - absolutely stunning boat building and engineering! John

    Now if you lived over here in sunny Oz instead of up in the arctic, you wouldn't have those problems with paints due to the cold! John

    Very nice piece of cabinet making on the mast step, Danny! John
  16. Jim Lad
    Crikey! I go away to a conference for a few days and this little masterpiece is finished. Excellent job, mate! John

    Just catching up after being away. That's certainly a very pretty dinghy - I'll be watching your build with interest. John

    Beautiful boatbuilding, Johann. John
  19. Jim Lad
    A nice , workmanlike black! Looking forward to seeing her grow now that the holidays are over. John

    Back in the 18th century the heavy anchors were secured by an 'anchor clinch' as illustrated below. John
  21. Jim Lad
    A really nice start, Keith. John
  22. Jim Lad
    You're making good progress, Marcus. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Nice to see an update, Tim. She's looking really nice. John
  24. Jim Lad
    A classic looking gentleman's yacht from the thirties! I'll be following along with interest. John
  25. Jim Lad
    Good on you, Grandpa! Will the completed model go home with the kids or stay at your place for them to admire when they come over? 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.
