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

    Now it looks a bit more ship like! John

    Can't find anything for smaller ships, Dave, but for larger ships the rule was 1/2 inch of cable circumference for each foot of maximum beam. Try that and see if it looks reasonable. John

    Where's your sense of adventure, Michael! John

    Looking good, Nils. John

    I agree that that looks a very nice paint job. John

    Tom, one way to do this is to cut a thin piece of paper (like tracing paper) to shape and glue several short pieces of wood down on the paper and then cut and sand to shape. You can leave the paper fixed to the bottom of the railing pieces as added strength. John

    Coming along nicely, Michael. John

    Lego blocks are a great resource, Steven - and also have the advantage of being cheap and easily available. John

    Seems a shame to cover up all that lovely double bottom framing. John

    Painted draught marks on the bow of HMS 'Trincomalee' (1817) on display at Hartlepool. The fore draught here is about 15 feet 5 inches. John

    Reminds me more of women getting strange things done to their hair at the hairdressers John

    That deck planking's coming along nicely. John

    Amazing progress on the double bottoms, mate. Tell us about the book. John

    Håkan, it's a bit sad to have to tell your wife, "Sorry, honey, but according to the doctors, all I can do around the house for the next six weeks is a bit of model making!" John
  23. Jim Lad
    A wooden model of a plastic boat - I like that ! John
  24. Jim Lad
    Just that little bit in the middle to do now. John
  25. Jim Lad
    I bet your workshop's as glad to see you back at work as we are! 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.
