    Merchant ships of my day had an enclosed wheelhouse and almost invariably a chartroom and radio room abaft it. Definitely a need to do the bridge wing thing before doing anything rash. "Look astern before you turn." John
  2. Jim Lad
    Have to agree with Keith. That second wheel looks a winner! John
  3. Jim Lad
    Were open bridges 'character building', or were they merely preferred because they gave a much better, uninterrupted, view of what was going on around the ship? Maybe once navies turned electronic, such considerations weren't so important. John

    Barge - easy. Dredged spoil - hard! 🙂 I'm looking forward to seeing your solution for the dredging material, Keith. John

    I see from your model photos that the 'Cape' was largely an outdoor job for the watchkeeping officers - not much room in that wheelhouse once you add a beefy quartermaster! 😀 John

    Just beautiful! Another feast for our eyes, Ilhan. John

    A very 'homey' looking working paddle steamer, Keith. She'll make a great model. John

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

    Looks good. Was it common practice in the U.S. for the upper deck planks to run athwartships? John

    Chuck first; us buying stuff from you second. Take the time to rest and recover, Chuck!! John

    Beautiful metalwork, mate! John
  13. Jim Lad
    She's really looking first class, Paul. John
  14. Jim Lad
    Very traditional tactics, Phil - trying to sink mines with rifle fire! 🙂 John
  15. Jim Lad
    More beautiful work, Mark. John

    Hello Jack, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down under'. John
  17. Jim Lad
    A very neat job, Keith. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Thank you, Terry. John
  19. Jim Lad
    Bad luck, Phil; now we all know the black secret or the wheel! 😀 That wheelhouse looks very nice indeed. I hope most of that detail will be visible on the completed model. John
  20. Jim Lad
    That's going to be a BIG model! John
  21. Jim Lad
    I can't make head nor tail of your 'thing', Keith. When you clean up the image and zoom in it doesn't look like a tank to me, but I can't think of what else it could be. Given the type of craft it's on, it certainly wouldn't be anything complex or sophisticated. John
  22. Jim Lad
    Looking good, Phil! John

    Welcome home, E.J. This looks like a build I'll want to follow closely. I was fortunate enough to see the original in Stockholm a few years ago. What a ship! (Incidentally, in a conversation with our previous museum director about museums and attractions overseas, she said, "The only time I have ever just stopped dead and exclaimed 'Wow"! when entering a building was when going into the front doors of the Vasa Museum"). John

    Thank you, Paul. John
  25. Jim Lad
    She' looking first class, mate! 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.
