    Great idea to be obsessed with alignment, Keith. if the basic frame is right then the model can be right! A very happy Chrictmas to you and yours and we'll continue to enjoy your progress after the holidays. John

    Have to agree with Greg. Not gluing the foot of the mast to the step is a great investment in future refurbishments or repairs! John

    Looking good, mate! John

    Sure does, Steven. John

    Very mean of family to disrupt the model making, Keith, but at least you're making some progress. John

    Depends whether you want to go movie or more realistic, Nils. I' think I'd go for the merchant flag (being ex Merchant Navy). John

    "Meteor' continues to creep slowly ahead. I haven't had much actual building time as the museum has been pretty busy and I've been spending a lot of time talking ti visitors. I've also been spending time in discussions regarding the new project I mentioned. There have been a few hiccoughs along the way but the 'powers that be' at the museum are now keen to see the project go ahead. There is a (hopefully) final meeting planned for January 19th to finalise matters for all stakeholders. The meeting could have been much sooner, but during the holiday period its difficult to get everybody together at the same time. Here's a photo of the 'Meteor' showing the current state with capping rails rough fitted. John

    Dark grey thread will serve very nicely for wire rope, Nils! John

    Your 'yet another 'Titanic' is looking first class, Steven. John

    She's looks great, Nils. Just to be pedantic, all the cargo gear rigging would have been wire rope. John

    She looks great on the water. I love the detail work on the deck. John

    Can't give you a definitive answer Bill, but have you tried the model railway suppliers? They are often a treasure trove of useful bits and pieces for ship models. John

    Fishing boats often used to carry sail as 'steadying sail, so that when stopped with a net down they could trim the sail to turn the boat to the direction they wanted her to lie on the nets. 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.
