    Thanks for posting these, mate. Haven't been down the coast for a couple of years. It's good to see that the museum is still alive and well. John
  2. Jim Lad
    Very cunning, Bob! John
  3. Jim Lad
    She's looking fine, Popeye! John
  4. Jim Lad
    Looking pretty complex there, Tim. John
  5. Jim Lad
    Just catching up with what you've been doing, Tim. Great work, mate! John
  6. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Mike! John
  7. Jim Lad
    What a great feeling it is to get those first strakes on! John
  8. Jim Lad
    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
  9. Jim Lad
    Very nice detail there, mate! John
  10. Jim Lad
    Thanks for the encouragement again, folks. Popeye - the planking is staggered to comply with Lloyds rules for planking. Bedford - sorry I missed you. John
  11. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Michael. John
  12. Jim Lad
    You're doing a fine job of the planking, mate! John
  13. Jim Lad
    Again, thanks all for your encouragement. John

    Just catching up, Alexandru - she continues superbly! John
  15. Jim Lad
    Thanks, one and all. Yes, Pat - those little ships certainly had sweet lines. 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
  17. Jim Lad
    A very nicely completed piece of complex shaping there, Pat. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Absolutely delightful work - as usual. John
  19. Jim Lad
    Looking really good, mate! John
  20. Jim Lad
    Michael, This is just getting ridiculous! John
  21. Jim Lad
    Nice, mate, very nice! John
  22. Jim Lad
    That's becoming amazingly complex, Popeye - great work. John
  23. Jim Lad
    I feel like I could start cooking on that stove, Bob. John
  24. Jim Lad
    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.
