    Just catching up. That pearwood planking is looking very nice. John

    My final choice has been a pair of fly-tiers scissors. Not cheap, but they work beautifully and cut right down to the very tip. As has already been said - used for rigging and nothing else. John

    I have no idea, mate! 🙂 John

    I feel pretty slack for not commenting on your lovely model, Jerry. You're doing some beautiful work there! John PS And yes, I remember well your kindness when we visited the States many years ago!!

    Been a couple of weeks, but I've been away at a conference for a week and last Monday I was working happily away when I accidentally (stupidly) cut straight through the jib stay, so most of the day was spent simply getting back to where things were when I came in! 🤢 Meanwhile, other work has been going on at home. Here is the foresail complete and rigged on its yard. It won't go onto the model for a while, but I plan on making and rigging all the square sails here at home and then taking them into the museum to fit on the model as required. John

    Hello Peter, and a warm welcome to the forum from another Sydneysider! If you get desperate re conflicting opinions, you can always come in and say 'Hello' at the National Maritime Museum on Mondays or Fridays (when our trains get back to some sense of normality) where I can be found up on the upper level working on our model of the 'Duchess'. 🙂 John

    Welcome home, Trevor! John

    Your planking is coming along very nicely. John

    Good grief! John

    A truly beautiful model, Paul. Very well done, indeed. John

    That's the work you get for choosing a model with a V-16 engine! 😀 John
  22. Jim Lad
    You're doing some great work on those design elements, Phil. John
  23. Jim Lad
    This looks like it's going to be a fun part of the build. 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.
