    Bill, As far as I'm aware, the removal of figureheads at sea was a very occasional thing. I don't think I've seen it mentioned in any of the actual accounts of voyages under sail that I have. In fact, I've read a couple of accounts of parts of figureheads being removed while in port to protect them frm damage. John

    Hey, Mobbsie, you snuck in the completion while I was away on holiday! Just let me add my congratulations for a job very well done indeed. You should be very proud of her! John

    She continues to impress, Danny! John

    I agree with Druxey and Mark, mate. Strip off the outer planking and check out the tutorials right here on MSW before you start re-planking. John
  5. Jim Lad
    Of course you can do it, mate! John

    Chuck, that's really nice work on the transom. If she were mine, I think I'd leave it natural. John

    I agree with you, Danny - rigging's great fun. John

    That''ll make a fine model, Kees - and very special to you as she was your grandfather's ship. Johnb

    Yep, you've started your build log, Betty! Great to see that you're willing to have a go. Just keep showing us photos and asking questions as you go. We're here to help if we can. John

    Chuck, Only one example, and later than yours, but this is a photo of the Harriet (1843) at Greenwich. John
  18. Jim Lad
    You're sure steaming (sailing?) ahead with this, Danny! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Now that's a very cleverly thought out windlass design, Chuck! John

    Hey, Piet, the 'Musi' will make a beautiful model. I remember the type from when I was sailing around Indonesea. John
  21. Jim Lad
    Great progress, Popeye. I like your modified bow. 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.
