    Anders, something like the 'Guillemot' dinghy on the web page below should suit your purpose. http://nisboats.com/oughtred/mainpages/dinghies.html John

    Andrea Doria was a very elegant liner and her tragic end certainly captured my interest as a young boy. She'll make a beautiful model. John

    Good to see the shipyard operating again, Augie. John

    Very nicely done, Danny. John

    Verrrrry nice indeed, Cathead! John

    Excellent work as usual, Toni. John

    I agree - that hull looks first class. Looking forward to her continued progress. John

    It's good to see an update on your tug. As Mark says, you'll know all that detail is down in the engine room, and so will we! John

    Looks like she was hit by quite a squall, Mobbsie, but I'm sure you'll soon have her all shipshape again. John

    Thanks again, fellas! John
  11. Jim Lad
    Sorry, Pete, but I've never seen a structure like that before. Perhaps another member has the answer. John
  12. Jim Lad
    A huge improvement, Mark, but I think I agree with Dan that there's still a little to go. John

    Coming on very nicely, Popeye. By the way, just to be pedantic, the lifeboat 'cradles' are officially called 'chocks'. John

    Thank you one and all for the encouragement. Hopefully it won't take so long for the next update. John

    It's been a while since I've been able to get to the museum, so no work has been done on the Pritt for a few weeks. In spite of the museum being top heavy with kids yesterday because of the school holidays, I still managed to get quite a bit done. The deck has now been completely treenailed and rough sanded down. Next step will be to make the capping rail, then bring her home for a couple of coats of clear finish before starting on the detail work. John The fore end rough sanded Looking a bit more civilised

    Nice to see an update, Tim. She's looking great! John

    Looks like you're off to an excellent start, Hartmut. John
  18. Jim Lad
    A few wee problems, Popeye, but she's coming together very well! John
  19. Jim Lad
    It's always a delight to see an update, Alexandru! John

    Nice to see an update, Russ. She continues to creep ahead in spite of your busy schedule. John
  21. Jim Lad
    Very nice blacksmithing there, Danny! John
  22. Jim Lad
    Good on you for going ahead with the re-fairing, Mark. A brave and wise decision. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Easy does it, Popeye. You're coming along well there. John
  24. Jim Lad
    Neither Ian Friel (The Good Ship) nor Gillian Hutchinson (Medieval Ships And Shipping) mention the use of bells. John
  25. Jim Lad
    Now that is a very nicely executed piece of work, Danny. 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.
