    What a great result Eberhard; thanks for stepping us through the process. It looks very effective/realistic, especially at that scale. cheers Pat

    A stunning build Richard; an exemplar of how to build such a model. I have very much enjoyed this build log so far. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    You continue to show us just what is possible with your metal smithing Keith; impressive results. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    That is some 'plodding along' Ian, looks great. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Agree, the following is from Capt. Boxer's (RN) 'Diagrams of Guns' (1853) which still shows the use of bending the breeching rope to rings in the mid-19th century. cheers Pat
  26. BANYAN
    Great to see this update Jason; your build continues to impress. cheers Pat
  27. BANYAN
    Great diorama Greg; have to agree that wake looks really convincing. cheers Pat
  28. BANYAN
    Nice work Jerry, looks great. I like the printed 'races'/tracks. cheers Pat
  29. BANYAN
    Impressive finish Richard; looks great. cheers Pat

    Hi Ian, I cannot recall where now, but I managed to buy just a few sheets from an online supplier. If I find some time, I will dive into my records to see if I can find the supplier - but I am not hopeful. cheers Pat

    Ian would not a self-made decal work to maintain the uniformity of the eyes. The decals, once applied, can be sealed with a spray-on or brushed varnish /clear coat for protection. I have had success printing my own decals for small toys etc that I make for the grandkids. The decal paper is relatively cheap and readily available online. I printed mine using a laser jet printer, but I think there are decal papers for other types of printers also. That said, hand painted adds a sense of realism. cheers Pat
  32. BANYAN
    Incredible detail at that scale, and well painted I may add. cheers Pat
  33. BANYAN
    Hi folks, does anyone know if Donna has returned to the business yet? I have tried contacting her several times (two different email addresses) but have not heard anything back. Grieving can take a while to come to grips with, and I fully understand if she has decided not to return yet - simply asking. I do not wish to pester her with emails until she is comfortable. cheers Pat
  34. BANYAN
    Eberhard, I think a lot of this can be deduced from the various issues of the 'rules' from Trinity house. 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.
