    More delightful work. She's coming along very well. John
  2. Jim Lad
    Lovely set of photos, Andy! If you're a bit short of sun you could always come over here. It's still early spring and the temperature's over 30 degrees already! john
  3. Jim Lad
    That's all looking very shipshape, Piet! John
  4. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Sherry! John
  5. Jim Lad
    Quite production line, Danny! John
  6. Jim Lad
    yes, mate. Stay tuned for a new building log sometime soon. John
  7. Jim Lad
    She's starting to look a bit like a sailing warship, Andy! John
  8. Jim Lad
    Bob, Apart from repairing that port brace, she still needs quite a few rope coils and, of course, anchors. John
  9. Jim Lad
    I'm not exactly sure, but on reflection, that deck layout looks very similar to Cutty Sark. John
  10. Jim Lad
    Just like looking down into the real ship, Gary! John
  11. Jim Lad
    Henry, It actually says that those deck plans were used as part of the reconstruction of Ariel's deck plan. John
  12. Jim Lad
    Janos - Thanks, mate - hope to finish her this week. Tony - Thanks. He'd probably still ask if I was sure I was doing it right! John
  13. Jim Lad
    Wow! She's really coming alive, Tom! John
  14. Jim Lad
    Raise or lower the rudder for more or less 'bite' - very clever! John
  15. Jim Lad
    I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who does re-makes, Piet. A submarine with a nice little dinghy, no less! very flash! John
  16. Jim Lad
    Nice looking bottle screws, Piet. I promise not to tell anyone that they're over scale! John
  17. Jim Lad
    Fair enough! John
  18. Jim Lad
    Congratulations, Meredith - she looks terrific! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Getting back to the original (sort of) subject; here in Australia, the South Australian gulf ketches didn't have any er, facilities, and the crew had to hang over the side clutching the shrouds. Answering a call of nature was known as ' doing a lee sider'. Now, perhaps, back to the rigging! John
  20. Jim Lad
    Nicely done, Danny. Why did you make the light swing upwards instead of sideways? John
  21. Jim Lad
    Very nice, Meredith! John
  22. Jim Lad
    It's great to see some more progress, Remco. John
  23. Jim Lad
    That looks an interesting project, Dan. Is there anything at all about Queen Anne's Revenge that you can rely on? John
  24. Jim Lad
    Nicely fitted deck, Augie. Couldn't you get some from east of the Mississippi? John
  25. Jim Lad
    Hmmm, looks like you have a problem with the plans. Everything I've been able to find shows her as being flush decked with a spar decking anchor deck forward. 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.
