    An absolute delight, Craig. John

    Welcome home, Richard. John

    That's a very contented looking cat you had on board with you, Craig! John

    Thanks for that, Andy! John

    I hate to disagree with you Andy, but some early steel ships had bar keels. Here's another illustration from Pursey's book showing the construction of a bar keel at top left. I should add that Pursey was probably outdated even when it was first published in 1949. Such archaic tomes had no doubt been long withdrawn by the time you were studying for your tickets. John

    Craig, 'Specky' - from spectacular - very special. John

    Most of them didn't have the locking pin. Nils. They simply relied on the weight of the compressor bar to do the job. John

    Coming along very nicely. That transom looks very specky! John

    Not sure whether this will be any help, but an illustration from Pursey's 'Merchant Ship Construction (1969 edition). John

    A beautiful model of an obviously much loved boat, Craig. Thaks for sharing your build with us. John

    Coming along nicely, Nils. I'm surprised she had screw stoppers on her cables instead of simple compression stoppers like the ones below. John

    Lovely looking pup, mate! John

    That looks pretty special, Luis. John

    Hello Greif, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John

    I make mine by laying a sheet of paper over the model and running a pencil around to draw the exact shape of the hull as a template, then cutting the right shape is straightforward. John

    You're making good progress, Mike. John

    Hello Jesus, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. If you think you English is basic, you should hear my Spanish!! John

    Your 'Cerberus' turned out very well, Steven. I'm sure whoever bought ot will enjoy it immensely. A 'couta boat would be a great project. They're such an iconic design that we have one in the museum collection! John

    Looks good, Nils. John

    Or hard brass to fight long term corrosion. John

    Looking good, Nils. Those winches should work very well with a little cleaning up. 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.
