    So what did you do on your days off then, Mobbsie? John
  2. Jim Lad
    Just beautiful. John
  3. Jim Lad
    That's really coming along nicely, Mark. You're doing a fine job. John

    Class! John

    She's coming along nicely. John

    Beautiful job of the wheels, mate! John

    Just to make life more interesting for all, here are a couple of photos of the 'Edwin Fox' (1853) in Picton, New Zealand. The lower plates clearly overlap the upper plates - oh, the bow is to the left in these photos. John

    Absolutely delightful engineering work, Glenn. John

    Nils, the painting of the hull really makes her come alive. John

    Michael, hope Judy will be OK soon. John

    Good job they were 'winged' and not 'whinged'! John
  12. Jim Lad
    Very nicely executed metalwork, Chuck. John
  13. Jim Lad
    Sounds like you may be vaguely pleased to have found this one, Clare! John

    Mark, I sure hope the pain clinic can do something. Both Pam and I suffer from minor back problems, so we know how painful it can be! John
  15. Jim Lad
    A total of 47 hours, eh? Very impressive! Now for the next challenge - a wooden kit in 72 hours!

    Not much done? crikey, Bob, you're making a beautiful job of it at lightning speed. John
  17. Jim Lad
    Can only agree with others that your machining is truly first class. John

    Thanks Mobbsie. Only problem with the holiday was that I wasn't able to get the chance to see you! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Good to see you back at the work bench, Hakan! John
  20. Jim Lad
    "am pleased with the results" And so you should be, Michael! John
  21. Jim Lad
    Thanks again, folks. Making the corners like that way the only way I could think of to mimic the actual construction technique used on the T.I. pearlers. John
  22. Jim Lad
    Thank you, gentlemen - I'm still having fun! John

    An update at last after our recent holidays! I've started work on the various cabins. The large cabin midships was originally the hold which would have housed the dive air pumps, amongst other things, but was converted to accommodation when converted to a mission ship. The small after cabin was originally the masters/divers cabin when she was a pearl sheller. John

    All looking very neat, Danny. John

    A very pretty little day sailer, Marcus. Looks like it'll make a great model. 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.
