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

    Coming along nicely. John

    Keith, you'll have a much better idea once you've talking to someone who knows what's really going on - i.e. your doctor. Our thoughts are with you. John

    Looking great, Greg! John

    I like your 'explosion in a pipe factory' analogy. The engine room is looking very workmanlike. John

    Phil, I appreciate your quest for absolute accuracy in the model, but at 1/10 of a millimeter at scale, would those gaps even be seen? John
  8. Jim Lad
    Ahh! That'll tighten the whole thing up. John

    Good to see you back posting, Vaddoc! That saw inset into the bench is a great idea. John

    Excellent! John

    Great work on the derrick! John

    Phil, I thought to myself a few times, "Don't worry about it - no-one will ever know." But then I kept telling myself that I'd Know!! John

    Just a small update. I had hoped to cross the main yard while I was at the museum yesterday, but unfortunately when I secured the sail to the yard I found that the tablings had somehow ended up on the fore side of the sail instead of the after side (🤢🤢), so I had to cut it off and re-fix it, which slowed the whole process down - hopefully it will be crossed on Monday. Meanwhile I got the mast ready for the yard and continued with the starboard lower ratlines. John

    A cunning thimble solution! John

    Thanks, Gary! John

    Very well done indeed. The whole assembly looks first class. John

    That railing has bent very nicely considering its width. 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.
