    If you come from Portland, shouldn't your name be Bill? Sorry, couldn't help myself. A warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under', Kris. John

    Thanks for your concern, Mario. We've been doing very well with the virus down here in OZ (compared to most of the world). No local cases in New South Wales for 28 day now - that's two full cycles, so we should be pretty much OK unless we get a breakout from hotel quarantine from a returning traveler. John

    Is that a 'pole' or a brown painted decorative moulding? John

    Absolutely first class job with that clinker planking, Toni! John

    I think Id be inclined to follow Underhill - he made a close study of the rigging of 'modern' sailing vessels. If you have his "Masting and Rigging" you will note that he details the lead of the clew-garnet to the pin on the main rail without mentioning a shroud fairlead while for other rigging he notes the use of the shroud fairlead, so I would conclude that the clew-garnet ran directly to the pin on the main without passing through one of the shroud fairleads.

    In the State Library of Queensland image of Cutty Sark at anchor in Sydney Harbour, the white stanchions of that railing stand out quite clearly' John

    My father-in law (English) always wore a jacket and tie - even when doing the gardening! When he was totally relaxed in his arm chair after dinner he would sometimes (only sometimes) remove his jacket- but never his tie. John

    She's really looking first class, Mario. John
  23. Jim Lad
    All that thinking and planning for the planking will definitely pay off in the completed model, mate. John

    Such a beautiful looking ship. John

    You've glued two parts together - presto, you're a model maker! 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.
