    Sorry, Pete, but I've never seen a structure like that before. Perhaps another member has the answer. John

    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

    Very nice blacksmithing there, Danny! John

    Good on you for going ahead with the re-fairing, Mark. A brave and wise decision. John

    Easy does it, Popeye. You're coming along well there. John

    Neither Ian Friel (The Good Ship) nor Gillian Hutchinson (Medieval Ships And Shipping) mention the use of bells. John

    Now that is a very nicely executed piece of work, Danny. John
  16. Jim Lad
    Good on ya, Cricket - that looks fantastic! John

    She's looking good with the guards fitted. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Now she's really moving along, Bob - great stuff. John

    Pete, The long piece on the right is a 'stretcher'; a raised piece of wood across the bottom of the boat that the oarsmen can rest their feet against. The piece(s) on the left appear to be knees between the thwarts. John

    Congratulations Denis and Phyllis! John
  21. Jim Lad
    Wow! I think you're getting the hang of it too, Mark! John

    I've just been quietly following along with this one, Danny, but I have to say you're doing a first class job, mate! 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.
