    Hey There Lawrence .. The Road Works are finished , Woo Hoo by the way ... The Story So Far .. LOL I picked up a Milling Machine ! then my Aunt got ill and my free days are taken up helping to take care of her . Ballahoo is out on my Building table, the room is clean and the next step is ready to go .. that next step is the Block & Tackles for the guns and Boy are they fiddly ! I'm not using the kit ones you see but instead Chuck ones (Yup the small ones.. the ones where if you breathed in too near them you are likely to suck them into your nose ) Am even trying to tempt Karen (the future Admiral all going well) into helping out with them ! I recently (last few days) picked up the Plans for 'Haddock' from the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich London, this is a sister ship to Ballahoo and I intend to display the suitably framed Plans behind Ballahoo ! So please do keep checking in folks as I haven't abandoned ship ! Just finding boat building time to be a scarce commodity. Thanks again Lawrence for stopping by and for the kind words ! All The Very Best Eamonn PS I didn't receive a usual notification that you had posted .. Sorry for taking so long to reply ! E

    Sorry Folks for being away for sooo long .. has been a hectic few months (new job and a shiny new relationship too) but I am beginning to get the building Buzz back.. have a few days holidays due and plan to clean up my build room which is pretty much a disaster zone at the mo .. I even went so far as to order Birchwood Casey Brass Black and a cutting tool for my Dremel .. All The Very Best Folks Eamonn

    Hey There Bud.. Ye will weather the storm I'm sure, lack of sleep isn't 'nice' (insert expletive right there ) to say the least. Take your time.. Sherbourne will still be there in a few weeks , just make sure The Admiral and Puppy are there too (If u follow !) My Very Best to The Admiral.. and give Puppy a pat on the head from me OK .. Eamonn

    Thanks Lawrence... the noise makers will be around for a few weeks yet I'm afraid Thankfully it isn't continuous (they are working at various points up and down the road, but they will be laying the Black Top shortly) it's hard to start anything delicate (am at the Threading of Blocks stage) as I don't know where they will be from day to day Thanks Again For Stopping By Eamonn

    Hi Kester.. I have no knowledge on the Camber question but does camber not tend to 'soften out' as you approach the bow/stern, so it may not be consistent 'front to back' if u follow.. I'm sure better people than yours truly here can advise you on this though. Great to see u back working on her though ! All The Best Eamonn

    There's a 'Great British Bake Off' person in my life too... E Yup.. Sherbourne looks Savage (there's another Irelandism for you.. means the same as 'Deadly'.. aka 'Really Rather Good' )

    Thanks Lawrence, I'm just taking a few weeks off at the moment.. There are major roadworks going on outside my build room and it isn't ideal for delicate work (has been going on for the past 2 months and won't be finished 'till end of August..) All The Best Eamonn

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.
