    Hello and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. Perhaps you might like to put a post in 'New Member Introductions' to introduce yourself to us. You might also consider a building log of your model so that we can enjoy it along with you. If you simply Google HMS Violet you'll find quite a lot of good images of her. Those images clearly show that here main deck wasn't planked. John

    Chuck, manipulating my trusty scale calculator - if you have 14" at 1/75 then it would be 10 15/16 at 1/96. Or 355.6mm and 277.8mm. John

    Cutting the hawse pipe opening is always a mental challenge, mate! John

    Never tried a card model, Chris, but could the 'starving cow' syndrome by overcome by fore and aft stiffeners under the deck? John

    Greg, here's what was left of one of those monster Japanese seaplanes at Butaritari in about 1965. John

    In his 'Masting and Rigging', Lees talks about the brails running through blocks on either side of the mast and down to the deck, but he isn't specific of exactly where on deck they were secured. John

    Nice to see 'Waratah' being built, Chris. There are heaps of photos on line as she's part of the Sydney heritage fleet collection. John
  19. Jim Lad
    Great news to hear she's progressing, Hamilton. John

    The only ship known to have been built to the plans of "A Schooner For Port Jackson" is Mary Reibey's 'Mercury' - the ship on our $20 note! John

    Looks like you're on the right track. That looks really good. 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.
