HMCSS Victoria 1855 by Banyan - 1:72
BANYAN replied to BANYAN's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Hi Marty, thanks for looking in and your kind comments. Having seen your work, I would not be overly concerned, it is very much up to 'scratch'. Hopefully, I will be able to make some progress shortly - I have started cleaning the workshop in preparation of making a restart in a few days. cheers Pat- 973 replies

Greg, just for info, the additional side fin is actually one of two (one per side) roll stabiliser - moveable fins. You're moving ahead at quite a rate. cheers Pat

A very nice bit of deductive assembly here Keith. Looks like your hull will be very close to actual. cheers Pat

My metal ruler was wrong.
BANYAN replied to modeller_masa's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Sorry all, my point appears to have not been well/clearly made. If you want consistently accurate measurement, ANY measuring device needs to be accurate to within a 'certified' acceptable tolerance. In many circumstances in our hobby it does not need super accuracy. The point I was trying to make was that it is pointless measuring the accuracy of one device with another device unless the accuracy of the measuring device is known/proven. cheers Pat -

BANYAN replied to modeller_masa's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
But only if you know the callipers are accurate. Many of these are not certified as accurate, so which is the more accurate? -
Very nicely executed, you make this look all too easy Keith; but we know the amount of work and thought you have put into these. cheers Pa

Nice use of modern tech to achieve a great result . A very fine model you are producing. cheers Pat

The rigging, especially the associated iron-work on the spars is top-notch Rob. Looks great. cheers Pat

Very nice work on the bow rigging Rob; looks great! How did you make the iron plates on the hull for the bowsprit guys/shrouds. I have been contemplating various options for a while including a simple strap cur to length and a hole put in one end. cheers Pat

Rob said: "No image I have shows clearly the belay points for the sheets and bunt lines and since the mizzen lacks a proper fife rail(short of the spider band)....I can only imagine that the rail was used as a pin rail......" Rob, if it is anything to go by, the 'Victoria' had the same issues. Her Contract specifically required a spider band to the Mizen, two sheet bitts (no cross-piece (fife rail) and a photograph I have shows mizen pin rails on her after cap/roughtree rails. Also, some of the rigging that ran aft on the other masts, ran forward, using blocks on the after crosstrees of those masts, thence to the deck, for the mizen running rigging. cheers Pat edit: Also, most of the authors of this time (and more recent times ) agree that sheet jeer bitts were fitted for the mizen.

Very nice work; so very well executed Bitao. cheers Pat -
Steven, I have some 'privet' which is in the boxwood genus. This is a dense wood which is very tight grained and strong, but as with any wood when you go thin, it loses strength. I can spare you some if you would like to experiment/use it? cheers Pat

Experimentation and persistence is the way to go until you find the method and result you prefer. Nice progress so far. 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.
