    Have you any more shots of the three of them together? She's really taken a step forward with the ratlines done.
  2. Sailor1234567890
    That is my favourite photo of her. She looks so real in it.
  3. Sailor1234567890
    Well feel better. We'll see your nexst ship model whenever you get to her.
  4. Sailor1234567890
    Wow, you move quickly. Nice job. This has to be the biggest model of her I've ever heard of.
  5. Sailor1234567890
    Are they all the same scale?
  6. Sailor1234567890
    Nicely done. Bravo Zulu. What's next?
  7. Sailor1234567890
    You asked earlier what the anchor fluke protector was called. The fluke used to be called the bill and it was called a Billboard. It's probably the etymological ancestor to the advertising signs on the highway.
  8. Sailor1234567890
    But it looks real good so the next one will be even better.
  9. Sailor1234567890
    Does she have removable thwarts or was that just part of your simplification of it?
  10. Sailor1234567890
    My 1:96 Revel Cutty Sark has been on hold for a bit as we try to move amid Covid. Buying a house isn't easy with social distancing I tell ya. LOL Yes, Shubie is just up from Maitland.
  11. Sailor1234567890
    I'm trying to replicate those for a full sized vessel. I think I'm going to need to turn them on a face plate and not between ends. About 4-5 inch diameter.
  12. Sailor1234567890
    I need to update that. I have sold my home in Shubie and we now live in Halifax, pretty close to downtown. We're looking to purchase somewhere not too far from town with a bit of space. We've outgrown this home by a lot. Funny enough, Shubie is close to the Bay of Fundy so I was still close to the water. Navy allows me to live out to just past Shubenacadie without any problem but it's convenient living 5 minutes from the dockyard to go to work.
  13. Sailor1234567890
    With both your hands in the photo, who's taking the picture? I too would love to see Speedy and Flirt side by side.
  14. Sailor1234567890
    Any reason why you couldn't have built the boats first? Looks sharp though.
  15. Sailor1234567890
    Masts and sails? she looks great.
  16. Sailor1234567890
    What a sweet pretty little thing she is.
  17. Sailor1234567890
    What scales are they? Interesting juxtaposition of old and new.
  18. Sailor1234567890
    Have you tested it out to see what it will look like under light like that? I bet it's going to look pretty cool.
  19. Sailor1234567890
    Where in NS are you? This looks like it will be an interesting build.
  20. Sailor1234567890
    Is there a way to break down kit availability by scale? If one were to want to work in say 1:64th exclusively, how would one best find out what models are available in that scale? Or would they have to just go through everyone's site and see what they have in 1:64?
  21. Sailor1234567890
    That ruler on the cutwater really gives an idea of scale.
  22. Sailor1234567890
    HMS Speedy? Once she's done you'll be ready for the 1:64 HMS Victory's debut.
  23. Sailor1234567890
    She's the only clipper to have had four masts. Was she one of the first four masted vessels? By the time of the iron ships of the next generation, there were 4 and even a 5 masted ship but not in this generation. I wonder when that started. Nice work Rob. She's looking great.
  24. Sailor1234567890
    Lady Nelson? Speedy? Are they suitable first builds? I think they're pretty simple as far as rigging is concerned.
  25. Sailor1234567890
    There's a shop down the street, 3 blocks away, with a copy of her plans. I remember seeing them and deciding they were over my price range. Can't remember what they were asking.

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.
