    And well deserved, too! John

    As you say, Richard, she's really starting to look like a ship now. beautiful work. John
  3. Jim Lad
    Just keeps looking better and better! John
  4. Jim Lad
    Thanks, mate! John
  5. Jim Lad
    Ah! Some ship pieces to watch! John
  6. Jim Lad
    I wish you'd start another model, Keith; I think I've run out of superlatives for this one! John

    A very interesting looking ship, Steve! John
  8. Jim Lad
    Hello Steve, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John

    Just catching up. She's growing into a really beautiful model. John

    You're really charging ahead, Kevin. John
  11. Jim Lad
    Delightful work! Marek - please write in English!! John

    Wefalck, do you have an example of the 'rounded' waterway on a steel built ship? I've never seen it. John
  13. Jim Lad
    Ron, I assume that you're talking about wooden ships. The waterway actually guides any small amounts of water along the deck and the scuppers run through the waterway at deck level and take the water outboard. On an iron or steel built ship with wooden decks the wooden deck sits on top of the metal deck nd the waterway is a form of gutter along the edge formed by the outer edge of the deck plates. John

    This build continues to amaze, Kevin. John
  15. Jim Lad
    An interesting thought, Keith, but I don't think there would be any difference in colour. Manilla rope bleaches out pretty quickly to a light grey. John
  16. Jim Lad
    Or cement slurry, Andy! John
  17. Jim Lad
    Hello Julian, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Still charging ahead, Kevin! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Now that is really looking very nice, Melissa. Congratulations. John

    This is the sort of colour, Kevin - MV 'Kooringa". By the way, the vast majority of cargo ships had white superstructure. Most buff superstructures were found on ships in dirty bulk trades like carrying coal or ion ore. John

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

    The accommodation block is coming together really nicely. A dull reddish brown was probably the fashion colour for decks at the time, although I've also seen a dull green. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Just catching up with what you've been up to, Michael. Amazing work, as usual. John
  24. Jim Lad
    You're progressing well, Kevin, and it's good to see the obligatory 'model maker's cut' on your thumb! That's a beautiful model of the wreck that you posted, by the way. John
  25. Jim Lad
    That planking's coming along very nicely indeed! 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.
