    Great work, Keith! John
  2. Jim Lad
    Gosh! I would have put a bid in on that! 😀 John
  3. Jim Lad
    I'm sure that'll look fine after a little judicious sandpapering. John
  4. Jim Lad
    Very well done, Phil. They look really good. John

    We just called them wind deflectors, Phil, but they were fitted on the bridge wings of several ships I was on that were built in the late 40's/early 50's. John

    Thanks for the encouragement, folks! yes, I work in the upper gallery of the museum and spend quite a bit of time talking to interested visitors. To those who show an interest in modelmaking, I recommend a certain web site with which I am familiar! 😉 John

    An update at long last. I'm now back at the museum (albeit working shorter hours) and the 'Duchess' is again growing slowly. I've now reached what is, for me, a major milestone - all 18 square yards have now been crossed! There's still a bit of work to do on the mizzen royal, but it's there and partly rigged! Once I've got that royal as far as it can go for now, I can set up the upper mizzen haliards on deck ready for later and then start on the spankers after a close study of their setup. John

    Boxes of bits are indispensable to the scratch builder! 😀 John

    Keith, next time I need some furniture built I know just where to go! 🙂 John

    She really looks the 'ant's pants', Paul! John
  20. Jim Lad
    The inclusion of some of the detail is really showing her off now. John
  21. Jim Lad

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.
