    Chuck, for some strange reason I've only just stumbled across your build log. I must say the whole project is well up to your usual impeccable standards! John

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

    That looks more like a creek than a waterway that can be used by steam powered commercial boats. It's amazing just where large vessels used to operate. John

    Another small update. Here's the 'Meteor' with the first deck beam temporarily in place - no, I'm not planning to deck the upper decks before the lower decks, but a beam placed there helps to stop the hull from being forced inwards at the shoulders by the severely curved bow planking! John

    Certainly not the sleekest craft ever built, but it will make a very interesting model! John

    Nothing like working with a medium you feel comfortable with, mate! John

    Those fires are only 40Km away, Steven. Keep an eye on the wind direction! John

    Just like a giant 3D jigsaw puzzle! John

    Having wrecks washing up on beaches seems to be becoming quite the thing! John

    She's really looking the 'ant's pants', Håkan. 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.
