Thanks, Keith. David - not sure yet. I usually just give my models a coat of Polyurethane, but it might look a bit bland. Another option is to copper the bottom - the Thursday Island luggers were coppered - but I'm not sure yet. John

Time for another update. I've reach what is, for me, a real milestone - the last planking batten is ready to be removed, which will leave the hull clear for the final strakes of planking to be laid. John

I don't really know, but I think Mark probably has the right of it. A bosun's chair seems the most obvious solution. John

Scholzy, most current digital cameras will do the job just fine - you don't need to spend big bucks on a DSLR to take good photos. Remember that 95% of the photo is down to the nut pressing the shutter button. 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.
