    Thanks for the encouragement, one and all. I can't wait to see the deck finished and cleaned up, but it'll look worse before it gets batter once I start gluing in treenails! John
  2. Jim Lad
    Boy, that's one enthusiastic little ship builder. Go for it, Cricket! John

    The deck planking continues to plod ahead. Just a few more to go now, so I should get them fitted on my next visit to the museum - then comes the rest of the treenailing and the cleaning up. John

    You can see the beautiful shape of this little yacht even on the frames! John

    Beautifully made propellers, Nils. Now all you have to do is remember to put them on the correct sides! John
  6. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Danny! John
  7. Jim Lad
    She will make a beautiful model, Nils, with the added interest of that unusual propeller configuration. John
  8. Jim Lad
    That will make a very nice model, Pete - a lovely little open cockpit day sailer. John

    Good progress so far, Cathead. I think it will loose a lot if you leave it as an open hull model. Why not get the hull fully framed and then have another think about it? John

    Nice to see everything back in order, Danny. John
  11. Jim Lad
    Good to see the sloop progressing again, Bob. John

    Only a mechanic would turn naturally to brake fluid for use in model making, Popeye! John
  13. Jim Lad
    She's already well under way, Popeye! Can I ask why you're painting the wooden decks tan? John
  14. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Crackers! John
  15. Jim Lad
    It'll still be waiting for you, Pat! John

    Truly beautiful work, Dan. John

    Thanks, Mobbsie! John

    Very impressive looking engine, Mehmet. John
  19. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Mark. John

    Thanks, mate! John

    She's really looking goods, Anton. Speaking of OH&S, I wanted access to the Gun Director Platform (Monkey Island to us merchant seamen) on the Vampire at the museum, which is blocked off. I was told that OH&S had deemed it far too dangerous without supervision and full safety gear! John

    Thanks, Janos - pity the visitors can't see any of your work in the cupboard! Russ - I'll scrape off all the excess glue and then fine sand before a few coats of Poly over the entire hull. Tanks for looking in, Frank. John

    Another small update. I was pretty busy talking to visitors last time at the museum, however I did manage to get a bit more deck planking done. I've also started on treenailing the deck and will continue this work as the deck progresses. John

    That stove looks very realistic, Toni! John
  25. Jim Lad
    I hope she pulls through OK, Toni. I'm sure she will if love and devotion have any bearing on the case. 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.
