    Oh, was it you Mario? I thought it was rather fun! John
  2. Jim Lad
    Oh, yes, Popeye - looking good, mate! But you'll need more lobsters than that to make that boat pay! John
  3. Jim Lad
    Excellent detailing, Paul! John
  4. Jim Lad
    That's a good link, but I've deleted the illustrations due to probable copyright issues. Members can see the illustrations in the article. John

    The white on the cover boards really sets her off, Michael. John

    Crikey, Popeye! I get up in the morning and find that you've gone beserk with your model overnight! Just one thing with your sidelights - move the lamps to the back of the screens, otherwise they'll show the light too far abaft the beam. John

    Popeye, Those little details can seem to take for ever when we're anxious to get on and finish things, but it's those small touches that really make the model. Keep it up, my friend! John

    Sarah, The answer to that one is easy - I haven't the foggiest idea! American river steamers are hardy a speciallity of mine, but would suspect that they would have used whatever thay could get. John
  9. Jim Lad
    Hmmmm. I think I might disagree. 5/64 inch is almost 2mm - quite doable if you really want to. John
  10. Jim Lad
    Finally catching up with what you're doing, Rusty. Brilliant work, mate! John
  11. Jim Lad
    Gentlemen, stay cool and be nice to each other!! John
  12. Jim Lad
    Enjoy your flying, Augie! We'll enjoy your lovely model growing as you get time! John
  13. Jim Lad
    Very nicely done! Just like the full size one. John
  14. Jim Lad
    Very ellegant, Nico! John
  15. Jim Lad
    That railing's come out looking really good, Tom! John
  16. Jim Lad
    Nicely done with the steadying sail, Popeye - now on to the lobsters! John
  17. Jim Lad
    Thanks for the additional photos of your lovely 'baby', Bob. John

    Mario, Just caught up with your disaster. Can I suggest that you feed the cat to the local eagels (unless it's the Admiral's of cause). Look forward to your return (soon, I hope). John

    It's always a surprise to me just how big a sailing ship model looks when you first try the masts, Andy. Hope you've got a tall shelf space ready! John
  20. Jim Lad
    Nice sail, Popeye! John
  21. Jim Lad
    How about Ground Hogs? John
  22. Jim Lad
    Popeye, those sails are looking good, but is there any way you can get that rudder closer to the sternpost - that looks a fair gap there. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Christian - thanks for your support! Bob - I thought it was the Ground Hog's! John
  24. Jim Lad
    Wow! SHe looks really good - a real credit to you, mate! Looking forward to the extra photos when your battery is charged. John
  25. Jim Lad
    How did I miss your update with your decking, Mark? That's looking really good. Do you wax the ends of your clamps to stop them sticking, or rely on Lady Luck? 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.
