    Yes, more absolutely beautiful work! John

    I've just read a short news item giving the very sad news that the Hawiian Port Authorities have towed the four masted barque 'Falls of Clyde' out to sea and sunk her in spite of Scottish groups trying to arrange transport for the vessel back to Scotland for restoration! John

    You're certainly making good progress! John

    Sorry I'm late to this thread. I thought this photo might be of interest. Part of the hull of the 1864 barque 'City of Adelaide' undergoing preservation at Port Adelaide in South Australia. She doesn't have treenails, rather plugs over bolts as the planks are bolted to the iron frames. Some of the plugs have dropped out, but many remain in place, so I thought it interesting, nevertheless. John

    She's certainly solidly built! John

    Sorry to hear about the Covid, mate! Hope it's a light dose. John

    You're making very nice progress on that, Jimbo. It's looking really good. By the way, as you're working on an L.S.T. (I always thought that was an acronym for 'large slow target' 🙂), I thought these images might be of passing interest to you. When the American military occupied Nanumea in early September 1943 they brought their forces in a n L.S.T., which they unfortunately beached just a little too hard on the unforgiving coral reef and, as far as I know, it's there to this day. These images were taken in 1971. John

    Just catching up, Eberhard. you do magical things with precision machinery. John

    They ain't ships, but they're assuredly beautiful!! John

    I'm very glad to hear that Donna is able to get the business back up and running after her tragic loss. I must say that I've had nothing but joy from my Byrnes machines! John

    Hello Glenn, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John
  18. Jim Lad
    Should be able to attach extra ballast for sailing. maybe even have a sailing rig and a display rig? John
  19. Jim Lad
    I can only agree. Beautiful, Craig. John
  20. Jim Lad
    Of course if you rig her fully, you could then take her sailing! John
  21. Jim Lad
    Delightful work, Phil. Such fun to build one of your old ships (I've built two of mine)! John
  22. Jim Lad
    She's really taking shape, Tom. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Keep with it, John, you're getting there! John
  24. Jim Lad
    Hello Nicolás, and a warm welcome to the forum from the other side of the Pacific! John
  25. Jim Lad
    That just keeps looking better and better, Paul. 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.
