    Sounds like you had a really great day with the kids, Michael - good on you. Love the picture of your cutter on the beach - just waiting for the tide. John

    It was your birthday? Well, many happy returns, Mark! John
  3. Jim Lad
    Thanks Robert! Not skill so much a dogged determination (or is that pig headed stubbornness?) John
  4. Jim Lad
    Why red under the grey, Andy? (I'm not a great paint person). John

    A great yacht to build! The original is now housed in the Fremantle Maritime Museum in Western Australia. John

    Thanks, Mark! John

    Great to see that she's moving ahead again, Andy! John

    Good job you mentioned that, Danny. My first thought was, "Hmmm, they don't look right." John

    Thanks, Bob! John

    Wow! I missed an update and she's half finished! She looks really beautiful, Bib. John
  11. Jim Lad
    Thanks for the encouragement, one and all. John

    Looks really nice, Bob. I'm not familiar with American fishing schooner rig. What's the angled strap from the mastheads and down around the topmasts? John

    Thanks, Russ! John

    All of the "standard" frames are now fitted. The next job will be to fit some stringers to stiffen up the hull before I tackle the stern framing. The first of the stringers - the deck clamps - have been roughed out and roughly bent ready for fitting. Once they're in another set of stringers will be fitted along the turn of the bilge (roughly), then the next job will be to work out the stern framing. John

    What sort of thread are you using, Les? Dilute PVA is usually invisible when it dries. John
  16. Jim Lad
    Absolutely delightful, Alexandru. John
  17. Jim Lad
    Les, try painting them with diluted PVA glue. Just dilute with water about 50% and see how it goes. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Very nice indeed, Augie! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Nice to see you back at work, Danny! John
  20. Jim Lad
    Great to see that you're re-posting your build log here! John
  21. Jim Lad
    That's looking absolutely first class, mate! John
  22. Jim Lad
    Hey, Mobbsie - at least you drew one game!! John
  23. Jim Lad
    Great progress, Popeye! John
  24. Jim Lad
    You're right, Bob - it does almost look like matting. Very nice! John
  25. Jim Lad
    She really looks beautiful, Remco (both the ship and the kitten) - just keep a close eye on Pebbles the part napper! 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.
