    Your build is coming along very nicely Harry; looking good. WRT deck furniture, basically followed the dimensions given by Marquardt in his drawing (at scale) in his "Capt. Cook's Endeavour" Revised Edition. The exceptions being that I waited until I had placed the steering wheel and other deck equipment before making the skylight to fit. cheers Pat

    That looks really good Baker. That hull looks pretty spot on despite having to use some 'guesswork'. cheers Pat

    Wow, .... simply WOW! I stand gob-smacked Chuck that looks so very realistic (and thanks for sharing your technique). cheers Pat

    The detailing is looking superb Greg, nice work. All that extra detail really takes your model up to another level. cheers Pat

    Doing a lot better than I ever could Steven; coming on very nicely. cheers Pat

    Might be slow progress John, but the result is great; looks very good mate. cheers Pat

    Looking good Keith; a few pointers (about the 'inside work' as you call it) that I can take away also - thanks. cheers Pat

    Hi Richard. This is really nice work. I have been following along in the background (Stalking ), so I thought I had better post. This a very well constructed model and a very interesting subject for a model. cheers Pat

    I like it Glen. Wouldn't the slight opaque finish simulate running (not agitated) water in the stream and mist anyway? cheers Pat

    Great progress Steven, a real little gem emerging. cheers Pat

    Well the dogs at least seem to be enjoying the surf. have a great break mate. cheers Pat

    Hi Ian, overall your build is looking great. One small point that may/may not bear further consideration is the motion/force of the bow wave on the verdigris seen on the ram. Would the leading edges of the ram be more 'clean'? I would not say polished as these would never have achieved sufficient speed to polish the edges. However would a gradient leading back from the leading edges be more realistic. That said, if the vessel had been alongside for a while this gradient would be gone but more salt/barnacles seen. Only offering this as you asked and may be a little OTT. cheers Pat

    I can only reiterate earlier comments that hopefully your run of bad luck is well and truly behind you. It is a testament to your attitude to life that all of this has not brought you down and that you maintain a positive outlook. Good luck with the article. cheers Pat

    Those boats look great Jerry. cheers Pat

    Great to see the use of modern technologies in improving our hobby Ian. Looking very good. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Very nice work Steven, that very much looks like salt water bleached wood. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Ditto Keith; those simulated chain stays look great. cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    She's looking good Keith; and looking forward to seeing the corrections/improvements. cheers Pat

    Ditto Ferrus Manus cheers Pat

    Hi Keith. It maybe one of those 'colour shifting' paints, depending on the ambient light and viewing aspect? I know there are several model paint suppliers such as SMS, now providing these. You sometimes have to put down a series of coats to get the right effect. A chap that goes by an avatar of "Barbados Rex' on you tube has rune some extensive tests of these paints for several suppliers. May be worth investigating? cheers Pat

    The model is looking good Ian, some great progress. You need a Roman Centurian guard? They must be pretty good clamps BTW that figurine looks great. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    The joys and adventures of experimentation Glad things worked out Glen, that is a great base for your waterfall. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Congratulations Vladimir. I have very much enjoyed following your build, especially watching you overcome the hurdles you met along the way. That is a very nicely detailed, cleanly finished model. You should be proud of your efforts on this one. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Oh you are so naughty (or should I say mischievous) Keith cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Nice work Kieth, she is already showing her wonderful lines. That tab system looks a great way to maintain alignment of the frames. I have used such as system on solid bulkheads, but this takes it up several notches. cheers Pat

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.
