    Have fun at Ningaloo, Anton. Hope you get amongst the Whale Sharks. John
  2. Jim Lad
    Very nice indeed, Mark. John
  3. Jim Lad
    Crikey! Even azimuth rings on the repeaters - well done, Anton. John
  4. Jim Lad
    I've seen a photo of just that being done on a pearling lugger, but I can't find the photo at the moment. It looks a very unseamanlike way of doing things. John

    She's looking like a new boat, Mobbsie! John
  6. Jim Lad
    She's really coming along, Anton. John
  7. Jim Lad
    That's looking absolutely first class, Mike. John
  8. Jim Lad
    I agree with Michael - she's really looking the bees knees, Popeye! John
  9. Jim Lad
    Welcome back, mate! John
  10. Jim Lad
    Beautifully worked mouldings, Augie. John

    Further to my last post, I've checked Edgar J. Marsh's 'Inshore Craft Of Britain', 'The Chatham Directory Of Inshore Craft' and Eric McKee's 'Working Boats Of Britain' - no dice I'm afraid! John

    Mobbsie, The deck planking butts would certainly be staggered. The staggering of plank butts adds greatly to the strength of a wooden ship. John

    Thanks for the overall photos, Popeye - numero uno! John
  14. Jim Lad
    Those decals certainly bring the rafts to life, Anton. John
  15. Jim Lad
    You should be proud of what you've accomplished, Kees - she's a beautiful model. John
  16. Jim Lad
    That's starting to look as complex as rigging a square rigger, Popeye! John
  17. Jim Lad
    That looks a nice model, Mobbsie - well worth the work of restoration. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Looking fairly reasonable, Danny! John
  19. Jim Lad
    She's coming along really well! John
  20. Jim Lad
    Thanks for that, Augie. I don't think that show have been on TV out here. The luggers from the 20's would still have been the same design as the 'Pritt'. John
  21. Jim Lad
    I agree with the others, Mark; I can't really see any reason to plank the inside first. John
  22. Jim Lad
    The cake looks like it's up to the standard of the model, Popeye! John
  23. Jim Lad
    For those interested, here are a few photos of the 'Alexandra Shackleton' on display at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney. The 'Alexandra Shackleton' in the replica of Shackleton's famous 'James Caird' that was used in the successful re-enactment of Shackleton's epic journey in 2013. She is currently on display in support of the museum's exhibition 'Shackleton: Escape From Antarctica.' John

    Thanks, Mobbsie! John

    Great to see the extensive update, Caroline! 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.
