    Patrick, the lifts were usually secured to a pin on a fife rail at the foot of the mast, so it looks as thought 'single lift' may have meant just that - a single line from the yard arm up to a single block and then down to the deck. John

    Now there's a skill I know nothing about! John

    I agree, mate. I home to get back to the museum fairly soon as we continue to open up. John

    A very neatly constructed model, Rod. John

    Hello Paul, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. Coincidentally, Dundas, New South Wales, is only a few kilometers down the road from me. John Laing

    Very nicely done! John

    Yes, mate, we (the model makers) have already been told that we won't be back before December. John

    Mark, we're dealing with the Commonwealth Public Service here - they'd probably want to form a committee to investigate the matter! John

    as I said, my tools are locked in the museum, so my home bench has sad idle all through lockdown. I've been amusing myself working on the Admiral's family tree - a very interesting exercise in itself and also a great winner of browny points! Weflack - we're opening up here in Sydney and under state health orders museums and galleries are now permitted to open, but the maritime museum is very wary of opening up and getting volunteers back in given the high average age of the volunteer force.

    My first thought was fine wire stretched across the frame and soldered at each end, but ideally a small electrical component that can be repurposed might be the answer. Try having a brows through Jaycar's catalogue to see if there's any inspiration there. John

    Chuck, the model and all my tools are still locked away in the museum. I'm hoping to get back to the museum in December, but at the moment everything is still a little shaky with the State Government keeping its options open to some extent with loosening our Covid restrictions. John

    It's a long drive from Florida to Bahrain for such a small ship! Now you can relax and work on the model at your leisure. John

    Very nicely done, Rod. John

    So she's not even commissioned as yet. No wonder she looks so well maintained! John

    You've made a very nice job of those railings, Rob. Well worth the effort. John
  25. Jim Lad
    That's an interesting looking mast. 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.
