    Glad to see that you managed some shipyard time, Popeye! That funnel colour looks good - a lovely British Merchant Navy buff. John

    Thanks for the kind words, all. Bedford - building with an audience is usually fine - it's when the (sometimes) admiring public just stand there and watch your every move with accompanying flattering comments that it gets a bit disconcerting. John

    Nice to see her still progressing, Bob. John
  4. Jim Lad
    Very nice technique for the ports, mate! John

    Got plenty of work time in at the museum yesterday, but I didn't seem to get very far. I was hoping to at least get all the capping fitted but, as you can see from the photos, I didn't quite get there. Oh well, next time! John

    Looks really nice, Augie! John

    Mobbsie, that's an excellent job you've done on the mast tabernacle! I hate to be a wet blanket, but by 1898 when the Edme was built, life buoys would certainly have grab ropes. John

    She's really coming on nicely, Cathead. John
  9. Jim Lad
    More first class smithing work, Danny! John
  10. Jim Lad
    Just catching up on your progress. She's coming along very well and you're doing a beautiful job of her. John

    Dan, if your deck plans are accurately drawn to scale, a careful measurement of the width of each deck might give you a clue to the tumblehome mystery. John
  12. Jim Lad
    Well, now I know where to come for guns in future! John
  13. Jim Lad
    Lovely work, mate! John
  14. Jim Lad
    You're doing well, Popeye. I'm sure a little problem like that skylight won't even slow you down. John
  15. Jim Lad
    Easy solution, Chris - have a go at scratch building. John
  16. Jim Lad
    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
  19. Jim Lad
    Very nicely done, Danny. John
  20. Jim Lad
    Verrrrry nice indeed, Cathead! John
  21. Jim Lad
    Excellent work as usual, Toni. John
  22. Jim Lad
    I agree - that hull looks first class. Looking forward to her continued progress. John
  23. Jim Lad
    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
  24. Jim Lad
    Looks like she was hit by quite a squall, Mobbsie, but I'm sure you'll soon have her all shipshape again. John
  25. Jim Lad
    Thanks again, fellas! 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.
