    Bill, Mast tops changed radically over the centuries. Perhaps if you could narrow your question down to a period and ship type we can find an answer for you. John

    Looking good, mate! John

    Hello Joseph. I agree it would be nice to know a little about you. If you mean oars stored in a lifeboat, in contemporary terms we never tied oars - they simply lay on the side benches of the boats. If you mean oars stored outside the boat for some reason, then any secure lashing would be appropriate. For previous centuries, I'm afraid I can't help you. John

    Nicely fixed, Andrew. A lot of model making seems to consist of fixing problems! John

    Nice to see her progressing, Håkan. John

    I agree. My tool box looks like a cross between a doctors surgery and a jewelers workshop! John

    She's really starting to look like a ship now, Richard. Sorry to hear about your landscaping woes, by the way. It will be hard to find new contractors before the holidays. John

    She's looking first class, Richard. The paddle boxes have turned out really well. John

    Many years ago while in Echuca we had a short cruise on the A.A.. The engineer saw me peering down into the engine room and asked if I'd like to have a look. I eagerly agreed and he said I could only come down if I remembered the first rule of steamboating. "What's that?" I asked. He replied, "If the engineers runs, you run." - True story! John

    A good start, Andrew. John

    Nice find, Richard. I never used nor saw that signal during my time at sea. Maybe it was used in Wellington if the ferry had to go astern for some distance. 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.
