    Well done with the photos, Colin; as I recall that's a very dark gallery at the museum. John

    Mark, Sorry to hear that you've thought it necessary to suspend your build, It's really good to hear that you're treating it as a learning exercise. Onward and upward to version 2.0 (or is that 1.2?) John
  3. Jim Lad
    You're really making good progress on the conning tower, Piet. John
  4. Jim Lad
    Totally agree with the cut splice! John
  5. Jim Lad
    Very neatly done, mate! John

    First good look I've had a your workshop, Michael - WOW! John
  7. Jim Lad
    One down, two to go! John
  8. Jim Lad
    Looks like that new line is about spot on, mate! John
  9. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Danny! John

    I meant simulated hull plating using (probably) paper plates, Stuart. John
  11. Jim Lad
    Cheers, fellas! John

    Ollie, Looking at the top right photo it seems that your garboard strake is certainly coming too far up the stem, but in the lower photo it looks pretty good, so the photos aren't showing the true situation. If you'd pay my air fair up to Queensland, I'd be happy to have a look for you! Seriously, though, if it's showing any signs of any sort of upward sweep at the bow, then it's too high. John

    Very impressive indeed, mate! John
  14. Jim Lad
    She's really coming along, mate. With a hull that size, have you considered 'plating' the hull? John

    The update you're having when you're not having an update! No photos at the moment, but just a quick not to let you know that the4 'Pritt' is still creeping ahead. I'm still working on drawing the frames and making frame blanks, but hopefully next time I'll have the framing jig made up and something a bit more progressive to report on! John

    Nice work on the ski rack, Popeye, BUT - are you sure it's really finished? John
  17. Jim Lad
    Just catching up with your build, mate - delightful work! John
  18. Jim Lad
    Oh, what a complicated modelling life you lead, Popeye! That air brush looks a super deal! John
  19. Jim Lad
    That structure is really looking first class, Andy! John
  20. Jim Lad
    Andy, I think the fourth angles strut from the right looks about 0.005MM out. Very well done on the second strut, mate. John
  21. Jim Lad
    Slow, but sure, Russ. It's good to see her coming along! John
  22. Jim Lad
    Sam, If you go back a page you can see the details o my post of the 19th. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Very neatly done, Andy! John
  24. Jim Lad
    Just catching up, Ron. That boat is looking excellent! John
  25. Jim Lad
    Just catching up, Bob. You've certainly made good progress, mate! 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.
