    Tom, That photo from the starboard quarter really shows of the beautiful sheer. John
  2. Jim Lad
    Before you know it you'll be onto the hull planking, Augie! John
  3. Jim Lad
    By the look of the rot in that tree it looks like you were lucky to get it down safely before it decided to get itself down! John
  4. Jim Lad
    Verrry nice, mate! John
  5. Jim Lad
    Pat, Nice to see photos of your model on exhibition in Melbourne! John
  6. Jim Lad
    Mate, if the Admiral says separate, then that's the end of the discussion! John
  7. Jim Lad
    Very nicely done, Daniel! John
  8. Jim Lad
    You can do it, Bob - no worries! John
  9. Jim Lad
    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
  10. Jim Lad
    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
  11. Jim Lad
    Nothing like your own mould formed ply panels, mate! She's really coming along nicely - you deserve another can of splashback/heat shield! John
  12. Jim Lad
    Tom, On a model like that, you probably need to be more concerned about the character of the model rather than exact scale. John
  13. Jim Lad
    That looks a really useful piece of equipment, Tim. John
  14. Jim Lad
    Crikey, mate, with that as the base you have to get the model right! John
  15. Jim Lad
    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
  16. Jim Lad
    Well, they must be moose antlers, Mark - wombats don't have antlers. John
  17. Jim Lad
    Coming along very nicely, Toni! John
  18. Jim Lad
    Just like a bought one, Danny! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Danny the blacksmith! Nice job, mate. John
  20. Jim Lad
    Slightly different colour, Bob! John
  21. Jim Lad
    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
  22. Jim Lad
    Tom, The Vinal Haven looks really sweet with the extra deck added - and that's a great photo of you and your daughter. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Tom, This all happened while I was away on holidays. That model has loads of character - what a great project. John
  24. Jim Lad
    A dragon class yacht with cannon? John
  25. Jim Lad
    Looking really good so far Augie. How are you going to protect those antlers (sorry, uprights) from potential damage? 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.
