    That looks nice, Danny! John

    As far as I'm aware, Underhill's 'Masting and Rigging' is still THE standard for later square rig. John

    Glad to hear that your process seems to be repeatable, Clare! I wouldn't worry about the skylights - it would be natural for them to be painted white inside. John

    Can't get enough of this, Alexandru. John

    Beautiful work, Toni! John
  6. Jim Lad
    It's good to see you back at it, Clare, and on the mend health wise! Looks like you've pretty much got that etching process licked! John
  7. Jim Lad
    Nicely done, Ollie! John
  8. Jim Lad
    Looking very nice, mate! John
  9. Jim Lad
    Good to hear that the sawdust is flying, Bob. Looking forward to your first photos. John

    Good on you, Mobbsie! Just a little tweaking (as planned) and she'll be superb! John
  11. Jim Lad
    That's a huge milestone, Steve! John
  12. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Ollie! John
  13. Jim Lad
    Cheers, Ollie! Give us a yell next time you'll be down in the 'Big Smoke'! John

    I was photographing Rainbow Bee-eaters in that cemetery in July. "Just down the road in Martyn Street" - sound s like you live in Cairns, Ollie - pity I didn't know you before our trip north! John

    Bob, To my eye she looks a little unbalanced without the fore topmast, but you obviously must build her the way that looks best to you - she'll make a fine model either way! John

    Ollie, In well run ships it was common for the bell to be polished to within an inch of its life. Can I suggest just some clear gloss finish to protect the shine? John
  17. Jim Lad
    Now that will make a very nice looking model, Bob. Are you going to build her with both topmasts and no engine? John
  18. Jim Lad
    Very neatly done, mate! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Crikey! A grandmother actually born on T.I.! Have you ever visited there, Ollie? John
  20. Jim Lad
    Nice 'bits and pieces', Popeye! John
  21. Jim Lad
    Just catching up with what you're doing, mate - she's looking really first class! John
  22. Jim Lad
    Great going, Popeye! It's a wonder you have space for the m all! John
  23. Jim Lad
    Andy, That unloading gear is starting to look very impressive; but what do you mean, 'trial and error'? Don't you remember all that arithmetic you had to do for your second mate's ticket? John
  24. Jim Lad
    Thanks Jeff and Chris! John
  25. Jim Lad
    Great work on the windlass, Ollie. Jeff is spot on with his advice re the bell and margin plank. On large modern ships the bell is (or was when I was at sea) certainly used in anchor work - to ring out the number of shackles of cable (each of 15 fathoms length) that were in the water. 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.
