    Hello Eric, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That's a couple of nice models you have there. John

    Good on you, Larry. What a great cause to support! John

    Very nice looking accommodation block. By the way, when I was at sea, escape routes were more in the nature of 'see if you can find a way out!' John

    That's quite a large ship. Steven - and that compass is really fascinating, especially considering the date! John

    Very nice progress, Nils. John

    Looking good, mate! John

    Glen, it's interesting that the Hawaiian (Polynesian) word for canoe is wa'a - the Gilbertese (Micronesian) word is wa. The Gilbertese, being very innovative with their language for European objects, call an aeroplane 'wa ni kiba' - flying canoe! John

    Very nicely done! John

    Good work on that odd shaped planking, mate! John

    Keith, I've had cataract surgery on both eyes. Nothing to it and the improvement in my sight is nothing short of amazing. John

    Hello Luc, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That looks a very nice workshop! John

    About time you got back to work! John

    A good honest workhorse and well worth modelling - especially if she's one of your old ships. John

    Sorry to hear that the second deal fell through, Richard. John

    What devastating news. He is a sad loss to the world of model ship building. My deepest condolences to Donna and the rest of the family. John

    Works well, Nils. many ships had hinged steel plates over the freeing ports that clanged annoyingly when the ship was rolling heavily. John

    These illustrations from George Campbell's "China Tea Clippers" (1974) may be of some interest. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Yes, Keith. Once it's confirmed that this project is actually going ahead, I'll get a log started. John

    What a great find, Mark. John

    Hello Simon, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John
  21. Jim Lad
    Just back from a few days away, Steven. She's coming along very nicely. John
  22. Jim Lad
    Cheers, mate! John
  23. Jim Lad
    As I've said - more info on the restoration when it's all finalised! John
  24. Jim Lad
    Thanks, Pat! John
  25. Jim Lad
    Thanks for the encouragement, folks. I'll be starting a thread on the restoration if and when it happens. 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.
