    If the spare spars are iron, then they would be painted; if wood, then most probably left natural. The lashing ropes would be hemp coloured. John

    I think I'd leave them 'as is', Ollie. Any extension would be really obvious and new parts would require life threatening surgery. John

    Rain? What's rain? Looking good, mate! John
  4. Jim Lad
    More lovely work, Piet! John
  5. Jim Lad
    Back at it already, Danny! Were the spare spars laid across the gallows and the after end of the forecastle with the boats stowed on the spars, perhaps? John
  6. Jim Lad
    Hull planking is very positive, Popeye! John
  7. Jim Lad
    Thatunloading gear is going to deserve a lot of care in building, Andy. From the look of that last photograph, it's going to really dominate the model. John
  8. Jim Lad
    Absolutely delightful (as usual), Remco. John
  9. Jim Lad
    Very nicely done on a couple of tricky joints, Piet! John
  10. Jim Lad
    Crikey, Augie, you've certainly been busy while I've been away. She's looking first class! John
  11. Jim Lad
    I've never seen this one before - looks like it will be a very interesting build. John
  12. Jim Lad
    Andy, Just catching up after some time away. That boom gear looks very impressive - hope the brass mesh turns out OK. John

    Keep a watch on the RFS website - they have up to date information on all current NSW fires - the link is: http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/dsp_content.cfm?cat_id=683 John

    Just catching up after being away for a week, Remco - very impressive indeed! John
  15. Jim Lad
    That looks a very nice yacht, Adam, she'll make a fine model. John
  16. Jim Lad
    Just catching up after a week away, mate! She's looking the ants pants - can't wait to see her with the deck on. John
  17. Jim Lad
    Just catching up after some time away, Ollie - she's coming along very nicely. I'm not sure what the discussion was re the margin planks, but as Tom says, they were definitely cut in around the frames. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Thanks for the link, Danny - that's pretty much fine enough to be used for chain sheets at 1:96. John
  19. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Bug. John
  20. Jim Lad
    Cheers, Popeye! I'm not all that fussed about it - it's not a killer error - I'm just annoyed with myself for making such a stupid blunder. John
  21. Jim Lad
    Remco, There's certainly no doubt about the two labels 'Galley' and 'Chimney', so that would seem clear. I can't quite make out the writing on the other opening, but it does look rather like a coaming. I've tried to enhance the contrast two of your pictures but I still can't make out the writing - perhaps you'll have better luck. John
  22. Jim Lad
    Yeah, Bob, 1:48 does seem a bit excessive at the moment! The luggers were actually kept pretty clean and tidy unless hauling up shell. As I'm building her as the 'Francis Pritt' - when a mission ship - now shell on deck I'm afraid Augie. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Sometimes plainer looks better, Tom! John
  24. Jim Lad
    Or the 0.5 you showed previously also looks good, Ollie - have you tried the small holes with the filler? John
  25. Jim Lad
    That deck has come up really well, 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.
