    Whatever your final decisions, she's a real little gem! John

    Greg, if it's a salt water splash, I think more foam is better. John
  3. Jim Lad
    Sae method; same beautiful result. John
  4. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Keith! John
  5. Jim Lad
    I like the neat simplicity of that base. John
  6. Jim Lad
    Ditto what Druxey said! 🙂 John

    Keith, I miss progressing on my model of the 'Meteor', but I must admit I love being able to bring this model to life! John
  8. Jim Lad
    More nice progress to savor! I like that photo of the hatch propped open. Judging by the smoke being emitted, it must be pretty choking below! John
  9. Jim Lad
    Delightful work on those printed parts! John
  10. Jim Lad
    More beautiful work, Greg. John

    Thank you one and all for your encouragement. In regard to the ship and her model - the model is the star of the museum as she takes shape, and visitors are enthralled by her story. I'm always careful to tell our teenage girl visitors that she was named for a 16year old grand duchess! 😀 John

    Nils, I built the boats some time ago from wood. I thought I'd put up a thread about their build, but I can't find it at the moment. John
  13. Jim Lad
    I think it still qualifies, Håkan! 😀 John
  14. Jim Lad
    That just looks so special, Keith! John
  15. Jim Lad
    Just how visible would that extra sheathing be at your scale, Phil? Is is a detail worth tearing your hair out over? John
  16. Jim Lad
    Thanks, mate! John

    A major milestone in my eyes! Not only are the main staysails rigged, but the first square yard has been crossed. It's only sitting there at the moment. I hope to get all its rigging sorted out on Friday. I might do a little more work on the shape of the main topmast staysail, but I'll wait until the well deck boats are on first so I can see how it would fit between the boats. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Well done! That's a really nice looking deck. John
  19. Jim Lad
    Called Kelvin's balls after Lord Kelvin, who invented them. John
  20. Jim Lad
    Some nice work there! John
  21. Jim Lad
    Thanks for that information. John
  22. Jim Lad
    If memory serves me correctly, weathered zinc looks very much like lead. You should be able to find a suitable paint that's available locally to you. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Phil! John
  24. Jim Lad
    I agree. Beautiful planking. John
  25. Jim Lad
    May I ask why your German ship is flying the British white ensign? 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.
