Great pics of the meeting, Mobbsie! By the way, judging by your comments re Hausteralians, you obviously haven't read that famous book, "How to talk gooder English!" John

Oh! You mean you're building a ship here as well, Augie! Very nice looking deck, mate. I'm still really surprised at just how well basswood comes up! John

Nothing like your own mould formed ply panels, mate! She's really coming along nicely - you deserve another can of splashback/heat shield! John

Amanda by Tblack - FINISHED - RESTORATION
Jim Lad replied to TBlack's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Tom, On a model like that, you probably need to be more concerned about the character of the model rather than exact scale. John- 40 replies

Ready for wood chips, Tim. If you add the rudder as a separate piece there'll be a nice joint line marking the division between stern post and rudder. John

Well, they must be moose antlers, Mark - wombats don't have antlers. John

When I saw the photo of the stern I winced, but you've make a very good job of the repair (repair, what repair?). And yes, the Science Museum has ditched its shipping collection if favour of a display of mobile phones!!!! John

Looking really good so far Augie. How are you going to protect those antlers (sorry, uprights) from potential damage? John

Jay, Pig iron billets in the bottom would definitely help! As the Revenue cutters were only supposed to come into port for stores or repairs, their crews would certainly get a lot of sailing practice. The square sails were rigged so that they could be brought down very quickly! John

Augie, Keeping her in the water was probably pretty easy, but I still don't know how they kept he upright! I found a newspaper report that said that Stag had won the annual cutter race again. The tone of the report sounded a bit like - well, what else would you expect! For those who didn't see it in the original log, here's a re post of the painting of Stag under sail and chasing what looks to be a French lugger. John

Very realistic ratlines, Ilhan. I tried using the 'card behind the shroud' method for the ratlines on my Stag model and found it works like a charm! John

Hey, Mobbsie, I forgot to tell you - in more refined circles we don't say, "Bob's your uncle," we say, "Robert's your parent's sibling." 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.
