    The manufacture of beams continues. All the beam 'blanks' have now been completed and I've started to work on the deck opening framing for them. Everything still, of nececcity, still unfixed, so everything needs to be carefully marked as it all goes together like a mad jigsaw puzzle. below are a couple of images of the forest of frames all roughly in place.

    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

    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
  24. Jim Lad
    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

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.
