    Very nice paint job, melissa. It's a good idea to use mock-ups in card if you can't easily visualise an object from the plan. i think it's important to know what something looks like before you build it. John

    Continuing impressive blacksmithing, Keith. John

    All looking really good, Nils. John

    Magic stuff, Chuck! John

    Marvelous. Are you by any chance an engineer by trade? John

    Well, I suppose it looks fairly reasonable, Chuck. John

    That's come up beautifully, mate! John

    Dave, you've got a lot more to collect. 'Model Shipwright was published as a quarterly journal from 1972 to 2009 and as an annual book from 2010 to 2013. There were some excellent artilces and wonderful models in these publications over the years. John

    For late 19th/early 20th century, Harold Underhill suggests roughly 3 feet 6 inches for the total finished length of the stirrups. John

    Nice work, Harvey. You've made a good job of her. I must say she's not the most beautiful vessel ever built, but she makes a fine model. John

    I'm sorry I haven't commented on your model before, but you are doing absolutely beautiful work. John

    Kevin, I'm so sad to hear of your devastating news. John

    A great piece of research there, Nils. I don't think I would have considered an anchor cable without stud links. John

    Welcome to the forum. You've made a good start on your model. John
  20. Jim Lad
    Well done, Steven. John

    The instruction re the house flag is also incorrect. House flags in these ships were usually flown from the peak of the foremast on a halliard either gigged to a small sheave embedded in the mast or a small block lashed near the peak. John

    Nice looking anchor, Nils. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Very nicely constructed, Keith. John
  24. Jim Lad
    All up to your usual standard, Chuck. John
  25. Jim Lad
    Good solution, Nils. Those sorts of areas aren't easy. 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.
