    Just catching up, Nils. She really does look superb. John

    Druxey, The barge is a little jewell. My personal view is that a bundle of sweeps 'dumped' across the thwarts would simply look cluttered and would also hide a lot of internal detail. If she were mine, I think I'd go for either tossed or on racks beside the boat - probably on racks. John

    Thanks Danny. When will you be in? I'll be there Saturday. John

    Just catching up, Alexandru. She really looks first class. John

    Looking good with the wheelhouse on, Popeye! John

    Just catching up, Frank. She's really coming along very nicely. John

    What a beautiful little ship, Kees. John

    Great to see you back, Bruce! John

    Very well sorted, Mark - looks good. John

    Looks delightful, Druxey. Just how big is that coin? John
  11. Jim Lad
    Aha! An update on progress. Looks like it's always been there, Popeye! John

    Given that she's 175 feet long, the numbering along the bottom can't be in either meters or feet - maybe frame numbering? Anyway, as the plan is to scale, a simple measurement of the length should answer your question. John

    Simply exquisite, Druxey. John
  14. Jim Lad
    How about 'department fine artist' instead of handyman? Your work continues to amaze me. John
  15. Jim Lad
    Very interesting, Mario - she's coming along well. John

    That spreader is certainly unusual, Russ. Will it have metal bands around the ends to ensure it stays together? John
  17. Jim Lad
    Welcome to the 'dark side', Hamilton. Another 'Bluenose' log is very welcome. John
  18. Jim Lad
    I can only agree with the previous comments, Håkan. A beautiful build. John
  19. Jim Lad
    Coming along nicely, Russ. I think the headsail hanks look OK for scale. John
  20. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Pat! john
  21. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Michael. John
  22. Jim Lad
    Thank, Mark and Denis! John

    A good, honest, workmanlike looking little yacht in my opinion. She'll make a delightful model. John
  24. Jim Lad
    Thanks for the likes and the good wishes, folks! John

    Looks a great project, Tim. I assume you mean HMS Pandora (1779) as fitted at the time of her wreck in 1791? 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.
