    I recentlybdid some driving for a friend who owns a dental laboratory and even had a go at trimming special plates for him, the setup in the lab I thought was perfect for us modellers with a suction tube under the table and marathon micromotors and hand piece I now have a similar setup on my work table with foot pedal Works well and with the suction set up I can sand with the hand piece or my rotary file without clouds of dust getting everywhere Regards Paul

    Surely the paint would wear off as the gun went back and forth when firing, and or leave a mess on the deck which definitely wouldn't be allowed, Oak goes that lovely grey colour with age Regards Paul

    Fabrication of the entry steps, I was going to do with a scraper then remembered reading about laminating something like this, the profile plan shows a very ornate edging so I decided on four layers, 1/32 strips were cut on the table saw then the four lengths, one two and three were glued together to make a steeped top, number four lines up with number two and creates the bottom lip, I rounded the edges before adding The rear edges will then be levelled up, bevelled to the hull, copper pins added and then stuck to the hull Regards Paul

    Hi mick Thanks it was the rivet part I was interested in, I couldn't work out if it was a nail trimmed off and peened on one end, did you anneal the rivet to make it more workable Again Nice work at that size Regards Paul

    Hi Jason I wouldn't take much notice of that picture it looks like a display model, the carriage looks like plastic as well, I sent an email to Mauritius archaeology about the carronades on my Sirius for Information and the example they have in the museum is a replica/display model with no provenance Regards Paul

    Thanks Guy @the learner glad you like it, shame it can hardly be seen now under the forecastle Hi Ed Thanks for that, the profile plan shows a triple on the fore channel as well, I will check out Longridge Regards Paul

    I was wondering the same thing, the lines for the Sirius were taken from a Spanish ship, could be something to do with that?? Regards Paul
  21. paulsutcliffe
    Wow, stunning work Alex Regards Paul

    Hi Jason Definitely the thicker rope in my opinion, I went with the slightly thicker on my Sirius as I thought it added to the look, the pictures above look great, well done Regards Paul

    Hi Druxey On my profile plans they show a triple in this position, I checked aots Diana and eds niaid build and couldn't see anything like this but decided as I'm not rigging I would show as per the plans, however I'm still unsure about that decision, what do you think? Regards Paul

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.
