    Just catching up, Greg. She's sure looking good! John
  2. Jim Lad
    Nice to see an update. SAhe's coming along nicely. John
  3. Jim Lad
    Thanks for the overall views of the model, Nils. She looks first class. John
  4. Jim Lad
    That red trim makes her look very 'swish', mate! John
  5. Jim Lad
    Just catching up after a couple of weeks away, Pat. She really looks the goods. Just a point of interest re your base idea; when I first went to sea in the early 60's, most of our charts of the Australian east coast had in their title, "Based on surveys by Lieutenant James Cook R.N." Not a bad bit of survey work for a bloke working in 1770!! John

    Just catching up after time away, mate. She's looking the bee's knees! John

    All up to your usual standard, Glenn! John

    Belated birthday greetings, Pat! By the way, those close up photos of your rigging look superb! John
  10. Jim Lad
    Just catching up again. Looks like you're really cooking now, mate! John

    Not to worry, Greg. If there are no photos, then you're safe! A couple of the 1950's era P&O passenger liners actually had inward turning propellers for some strange reason, so it's not unknown. John

    Umm, Greg - looking at your last photo, it appears that you have right hand propellers on the port side and left hand propellers on the starboard side. Have you photos to show this ion the original ship, as multiple propellers are almost invariably fitted the other way around so that they're outward turning when the ship is going ahead; which provides for much better manoeuvrability - especially when going astern. John

    Absolutely delightful (as usual), Danny! John
  14. Jim Lad
    She's starting to look complete with the deck on! 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.
