    Just catching up after a few days away, mate! She's really coming along well. John

    Nicely done with the boat covers, Tom. Are you going to do lashings for them? John

    Bob, great job with the hull painting! I use pretty much the same method as Michael - a hole to the diameter of a piece of brass tubing that can then be cut to the correct shape at each end and the outer rim filed nicely rounded to protrude from the hull. John

    Almost a good trial, Steve. Pity about the engine room explosion at the end, but it certainly looked impressive. She was sailing at quite a fast scale speed, actually - don't get her over fast or she'll just look like a toy on the water. Was that the Platypus doing a splash at the base of the tree? John

    You can choose to leave them rigged to the yards or simply leave them off. If a ship were in port with the sails sent down for a long period they would probably be sent down and stowed away, but for a short period they would be left rigged - your choice. John

    So that's what you've been up to while faking Dengue Fever! John

    Just catching up, Nils. You're certainly a master metal craftsman. John

    Never seen that type of fairlead before, Andy. Are they easy to take apart in case of problems? John

    You snake in the rigging, Mobbsie! Great work ,mate - she's really looking first class! John

    Thanks for the comments, folks! Bob - yeah, they just didn't look right. Maybe I'm beginning to be a shipwright. John
  12. Jim Lad
    Looks like it's all up to your usual high standards, mate! John
  13. Jim Lad
    Aha! The stern at last. Great stuff, Augie! John

    Bugger!! I know I promised photos soon, but there's nothing to photograph apart from me looking annoyed with myself. I spent Wednesday fiddling about with cant frames and wondering why they didn't look right - finally discovered that when I drew them I was using the wrong datum line. All are now in the bin together with their drawings. Oh well, live and learn! John

    Never seen wooden sails on a modern model. This looks like a very nice restoration project. John
  16. Jim Lad
    Looking good, mate! John
  17. Jim Lad
    Next time - don't forget the Aerogard! I reckon the painting was worth it, Ollie - that hull looks really good! John
  18. Jim Lad
    That looks a nice, neat splice Michael. How are you with wire? John
  19. Jim Lad
    Very nice indeed, Nils! John
  20. Jim Lad
    Excellent work again, Nils. John
  21. Jim Lad
    Looks like photo etch is fun! John
  22. Jim Lad
    When they decided they wanted more profit! Joihn
  23. Jim Lad
    Excellent, Gil. What more is there to say? John
  24. Jim Lad
    Crikey, Bob, that was close! John
  25. Jim Lad
    Man, but that's looking nice, Michael! 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.
