    You're spot on with that, Michael! John
  2. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Bug. John
  3. Jim Lad
    She's really coming along, mate! Can't wait for the next episode. John
  4. Jim Lad
    She's looking really nice, mate. John
  5. Jim Lad
    Thanks for your good wishes one and all! John

    Thanks very much for the good wishes, Mobbsle. I'll certainly pass on your regards to Pam. John

    Thank you for your kind comments, one and all. Pam managed to fall and break her arm, but it's well and truly on the mend now. I had a scare with cancer, but am also on the mend. My urologist advises that it will be an ongoing nuisance, but not life threatening. Sorry there was no model maker at the museum when you visited, Keith. I had to miss a few days recently. John

    It seems forever since I last updated the log. Things have been pretty hectic around here plus both Pam and I have had a few health issues which have slowed things down considerably. Thankfully I'm now able to get back into the workshop. All the spars have now been made but, as can be seen in the photos below, not yet detailed. The jaws of the mizzen boom and gaff have now been finished off, so the next job on the spars will be to get some bands made, which means I'm really going to have to haul out the soldering gear soon or I'll run out of things to do on the model for lack of metal fittings. I still have the dunny to make plus the windlass is only half done, so maybe I can put off the soldering just a little longer. PS: I actually enjoy soldering once I get started, but it seems to take me a heck of a long time just to get the equipment organised. John

    Well worth the wait, Tim - she looks great! John
  10. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Bob! John
  11. Jim Lad
    Just catching up, Pat. Good looking soldering setup, but isn't resistance soldering a tad expensive? John
  12. Jim Lad
    Clever idea with the cutaway painting, Danny. John
  13. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Mark! John
  14. Jim Lad
    Coming along beautifully, Michael. Like Druxey, I can't wait to see the finished deck. John
  15. Jim Lad
    Been away for a couple of days, mate. She's really coming along! John
  16. Jim Lad
    More absolutely first class work, Danny! John
  17. Jim Lad
    Yet more delightful work, Glenn! John
  18. Jim Lad
    Nice to see her progressing, mate! John
  19. Jim Lad
    That planking is looking very nice indeed! John
  20. Jim Lad
    The frame over the stern was used for anchor recovery. If you have that fitted, there should also be a windlass amidships. John
  21. Jim Lad
    A truly lovely piece of work, mate! John
  22. Jim Lad
    Love the gummed tape mast hoops, Michael. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Just catching up, Druxey - she looks beautiful already! John
  24. Jim Lad
    That's a very generous gesture on your part, Bug - good on you! John
  25. Jim Lad
    Some interesting detail work on the forecastle, Nils. By the way, in English the chain sprocket wheels for the anchor chain are called gypsies. 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.
