    Ollie, If you're thinking of sails, you might like to have a look at a couple of contemporary models with sails at the NMM at Greenwich for some ideas. Here are a couple of links: http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/66568.html http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/66275.html John

    Delightful work, Michael! John
  3. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Ollie! John
  4. Jim Lad
    Coming along nicely, Ollie. Those mast bands could be a bit thinner if you wanted to alter them. John
  5. Jim Lad
    Like the 'S' bend in the strap, Danny. Your blacksmithing continues to impress! John
  6. Jim Lad
    That looks the ant's pyjamas, Popeye! John
  7. Jim Lad
    Well done, Popeye, that looks really first class! John
  8. Jim Lad
    Verrrry nice indeed, Rod! John
  9. Jim Lad
    Really looking good, Augie! John
  10. Jim Lad
    Like the compass placement, mate! John
  11. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Bob. I would guess that the thicker planks are for additional longitudinal strength. John
  12. Jim Lad
    Like the 'gingerbread work', Popeye! John

    Beautiful overall photos showing the model to good advantage, Bruce. John
  14. Jim Lad
    Very nicely done, Michael. John
  15. Jim Lad
    Very nice bit of smithing there, Danny. John
  16. Jim Lad
    Great to see that you've got time for your model again, Bruce! John
  17. Jim Lad
    Looks nice, Ollie1 I think I'd go with Ringbolt's suggestion of the iron bar through the cathead. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Augie! Can't wait to see the stern decoration on! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Good on yer, Mobbsie! So now it's Mobbsie the mighty museum modeller! John

    Danny, Check your digital verniers - the official diameter of a five cent coin is 19.41 mm! John
  21. Jim Lad
    Now that wheel setup looks really first class, Danny! John

    Ollie, Cutter masting varied enormously from ship to ship. Looking at the available contemporary paintings, the caps you have for the kit look reasonable, but remember that you need room for the spreader on top of the forward end of the lower cap. I would guess that the topmast had a square heel and the lower mast had a square tenon worked into the top to take the cap, so the lower one would be square for the topmast and round for the lower mast with the upper cap being the other way around - square for the lower mast and round for the topmast. John

    Very nice 'shoe' or 'fairing piece' or whatever, Michael! John
  24. Jim Lad
    Great work, Popeye! John
  25. Jim Lad
    Great work with the wheel, Danny - it's turned out well. 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.
