    Ron, If you have a look at the first post on this thread at Ships Nostalgia - Steam windlass - know of any still existing? | Ships Nostalgia - you will find two illustrations of a Clarke Chapman steam windlass which is remarkably similar to the illustration in the 1959 edition of 'Nicholl's Seamanship and Nautical Knowledge' and also remarkably similar to the windlasses on ship's I served on in the 1960's which were built in the late 1940's. I would think that these would be pretty close to the windlasses fitted on Liberty Ships. John

    Nice work, Keith. That looks very realistic. John

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

    Looking good, Dave! John

    Coming along very nicely, Kevin. John

    Thanks, Gary. As she's in the museum gallery I'm a bit limited as to what background I can choose for my photos. John

    Looking good, David! John

    Whatever your solution, you've got a good solid base for the superstructure, and you know it won't be warping at some later date! John
  9. Jim Lad
    That's coming along very nicely. John
  10. Jim Lad
    Just delightful, Craig. John
  11. Jim Lad
    Thank you for your kind comments, gentlemen. John

    She really looks first class, Craig. I'm glad the firefighting team was on top of things quickly. John

    Another update. The 'Duchess' continues to grow sails. First two on the mizzen mast. The cro'jack is rigged, the lower topsail merely crossed at this stage, but at least she looks a little more balanced with sails on all three of the forward masts. John

    A superbly worked launch, Ilhan. John
  15. Jim Lad
    I'm sure the other 31 will look just as good, Siggi! John

    Nice progress, Paul. John

    Brilliant stuff, Gary! I can hardly wait for the next instalment. John
  19. Jim Lad
    Coming together very nicely, David. John
  20. Jim Lad
    So, just about finished then! 😀 John
  21. Jim Lad
    It's already looking pretty busy in that engine room! John
  22. Jim Lad
    Such beautiful lines on that hull, mate! Can hardly wait for the next instalment. John

    Phil, I think you're right in thinking that the control box would be in front of the winch rather than off to the side, especially if the side position interferes with the gypsy. John
  24. Jim Lad
    Pity you couldn't make it a decent size, Rick! 😀 John
  25. Jim Lad
    Nice progress, John. 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.
