    Getting it out of the basement? No problem, Tom! John

    Michael, Two questions spring to mind following your last set of pictures. 1. How are you going to get this baby to and from the lake? 2. Where are you going to fing vertyical space to fit the topmast? John
  4. Jim Lad
    Quick to make; simple; it works. What more could you ask of a jig, Russ? John
  5. Jim Lad
    Now that's going to look good. Are you working from detailed plans of the engine or from old photos? John
  6. Jim Lad
    That's a very nice looking craft! John
  7. Jim Lad
    Man, that was a sad day!! John
  8. Jim Lad
    Cheers, mate! Keep those updates coming! John
  9. Jim Lad
    Well, you certainly were on the right track - nice job! John
  10. Jim Lad
    Well, the jig works, Russ! John

    Nice to see another non-string model on the site - I'll be following with interest. Was it usual for tugs in your part of the world to have left handed propellers? John

    Lovely work again, Remco! John
  13. Jim Lad
    Just catching up with what you're doing, Russ. She's looking good, mate! John
  14. Jim Lad
    It's great to see these details that are really making her come allive, Popeye! John
  15. Jim Lad
    It's good to see that you're putting this log back up, David! John
  16. Jim Lad
    Nico, she just looks more beautiful with each set of photos! John
  17. Jim Lad
    Mobbsie, yes, I see a slight dip there, and there really shouldn't be. Do you want to try evening it out with filler before you get on to the second planking, or does it just look worse in the photos, as is often the case! John

    Bruce, Whatever else you do with regard to rigging sequence, leave the braces until last. As they run outside everything else they'll really get in the way. John
  19. Jim Lad
    Bruce, I've found that leaving the ratlines until later doesn't restrict access in practice as I find I reach most of my belaying points from the opposite side anyway. John
  20. Jim Lad
    Just catching up with what you're doing - beautiful; absolutely beautiful! John
  21. Jim Lad
    Beautifully done, Michael! John
  22. Jim Lad
    Hello Robert, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That's a very nice looking hull you have there. I'm looking forward to seeing your future updates. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Yeah, Tom, the photo looks likes it's made like a simple garden bench. I think you're on the right track. John
  24. Jim Lad
    John, I haven't followed his technique, but it's in the back of my mind for a future model. John
  25. Jim Lad
    Well, why not, Michael - you've gone this far! 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.
