    Matthias, I can't help with the background, just wanted to say you have found a beautiful little model. I am jealous. Seasons best wishes, Bruce

    After getting a bigger bandsaw, I still have some bandsaw blades, a rip fence and a spare table top for a Scheppach HBS20. This saw is also sold under other names. It looks like this: If anybody wants this stash of spares, you are welcome to it. The blades are 1400mm length and some are brand new and unused. UK only, pay the Hermes bill (around £5) and I will send them to you or collect if you are local (Sussex). PM me if interested. Jingle Bells and Ho Ho Ho etc.

    Hello Joseph, welcome to the forum. You have asked a good question, thank you, and I will watch for the answer(s). It may well depend on when and where, but let's see what happens. Why not post a bit about yourself and your project in the New Members Introduction thread? Regards, Bruce

    From January/February 1960 WORKSHOP magazine: an article on what they consider the ideal workshop for modelmaking. No 3D printers or internet radios but most of the items still look appropriate. (Don't miss the jokes scattered through the pages)

    Many thanks, Kevin, that is a useful video.

    Think of it as adding 'character' to the model.

    Best wishes for next week and looking forward to seeing your finished Sphinx. I really like the colours and wood together, perhaps it is the lighting or maybe you are just good at this: either way it stands out among the logs. All the best, Bruce

    Albert, that is a great log and it is going to be a beautiful model.

    Seriously, it is wonderful. 👍

    ? That is a surprise. Can I ask what size blade are you using? I ask because I want to know if there is a limitation on the saw that I am not aware of. I have cut 22mm oak on mine, am I possibly exceeding spec? I like what you are doing with this build. Bruce

    Scientific American, December 1884. The cover illustrates the 'ship railway' that would have been a cheaper alternative to the Panama Canal. Think of the fun we modelers would have had with this!

    A contemporary view of the deck with capstan and other fittings pf a British ship is always worth a closer look. This one is another Library of Congress find: Library of Congress Control Number 2014649352 Title On the deck of the British ship Buffalo / engraved by J.R. Smith ; drawn from nature by A. Earle. Summary Print shows a capstan on a ship deck and other vessel components. Contributor Names Smith, John Rubens, 1775-1849, engraver Wikipedia says: HMS Buffalo (1813) was a 16-gun storeship previously the East Indiaman Hindostan. She was purchased in 1813 and wrecked in 1840 off Mercury Bay. She was significant in the colonisation of South Australia.

    "The Young Sea Officer's Sheet Anchor; or, A key to the leading of rigging, and to practical seamanship." American edition 1843 I can't see that this has been posted before, could be wrong. Sheet Anchor.pdf

    Hi Alan, the Whippet is shaping up and looks like a very nice kit. Just in case you haven't seen it, here is a 1918 photo of the cluttered-up storage arrangements on a Whippet.

    Here in the UK that would be known as a 'Yankee' drill. There are also Yankee screwdrivers along the same lines. HTH Bruce

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.
