    Ollie, Isn't Ita crossing the coast north of Cooktown? I thought you were a bit further south. Anyway, if you're in the firing line, make sure you keep your head down - category 5's are not to be toyed with!! By the way, make sure your breaching ropes are long enough so that the guns can run right inboard. John

    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

    Coming along nicely, Ollie. Those mast bands could be a bit thinner if you wanted to alter them. John

    Like the 'S' bend in the strap, Danny. Your blacksmithing continues to impress! John

    That looks the ant's pyjamas, Popeye! John

    Like the compass placement, mate! John
  18. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Bob. I would guess that the thicker planks are for additional longitudinal strength. John

    Like the 'gingerbread work', Popeye! John

    Looks nice, Ollie1 I think I'd go with Ringbolt's suggestion of the iron bar through the cathead. John
  25. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Augie! Can't wait to see the stern decoration on! 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.
