    Very interesting windows, Popeye. Can't wait to see what your ideas are. John

    Or you could always use a hand saw! John

    Cleats on bulwarks isn't really that unusual, Bob, but bollards on bulwarks is a new one on me! John

    A major milestone indeed, Mark. Great stuff! John

    Matti, Definitely bilge pumps to port and starboard of the mast. The two Objects abaft the mast are steel tanks - whether fuel or water I don't know, but most probably water. The binnacle shown in Joel's post is a much older type than would have been on your ketch - the one shown in the photo at this link would be more like yours - http://genius.com/2407478 There is a photo of the Clara may on the 'Bude Past and Present' site, which is at this link - http://bude-past-and-present.org.uk/clara-may/ John

    Just catching up with what you're doing. That looks a great project. John

    Nice looking wheelhouse, mate! John

    G'day Mobbsie. The tops of the chain plates are bent around. They'll be soldered once the whole thing is put together - soft solder is strong enough here and melts at a low enough temperature not to harm the deadeyes. John

    Great stuff, Clare! John
  18. Jim Lad
    Beautiful job on the sail, Bob. John
  19. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Piet! John
  20. Jim Lad
    That stern's coming along nicely, Toni! John
  21. Jim Lad
    Thanks Pete - and thanks to all who have pressed the 'Like' button. John
  22. Jim Lad
    I'm glad you've now got the time to work on this monster, Don. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Popeye and Bob. Bob - that companionway was interesting. It's clear from the available photographs that she had a new companionway fitted at some time in her life, so even for a very modest vessel like this, it can be necessary to choose a time in her life you wish to represent - I've chosen the time of the founding of the Roper River Mission, when the photos show she had this shaped companion. John
  24. Jim Lad
    Aha! Some paint. Now she's looking like a ship, Popeye. John
  25. Jim Lad
    Thanks for the encouragement, folks! More updates shortly. 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.
