    HI ALL
    SOME MINOR WORKS HAVE OCCURRED RECENTLY ALTHOUGH NOT AS MUCH AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED.
    SHIPS PUMPS ARE DONE......WOODEN PARTS FROM STEAMED PEAR , HANDLE BRACKET FROM BLACKEND BRASS AS IS DISCHARGE PIPE AND STRAPPING BANDS FROM BLACK PAPER.
    ALL TEN EQUALLY SPACED HOLES HAVE BEEN DRILLED......THEY NOW NEED SQUARING OFF.
    IVE ENCLOSED PHOTOS OFF THE SET UP FOR DRILLING WHICH IS A LITTLE HEATH ROBINSON BUT IT WORKS.
    ONCE THE CAPSTAN IS FINISHED IT WILL BE TIME TO START PLANKING INBOARD...IN STEAMED PEAR.
    THE PHOTOS SHOW SOME DRAWINGS OF A CAPSTAN AND SHIPS PUMP FROM AOTS ENDEAVOUR WHICH IS OF THE SAME TIME PERIOD AND I USED AS A PRIMARY REFERENCE.
    CHEERS FOR NOW....MICK

    Hi carl
    A bit of improvisation goes a long way.......need to make a new baseboard with a few more functions for the roatary table to bolt to.....other than that its worked quite well.
    The pumps are version 3......frustrating little buggers to get right!
    Oh well its of too work we go......
     
    Cheers for now

    HI ALL
    DECK HAS NOW BEEN PLANKED
    UNFORTUNATELY I DRILLED THE HOLES IN ONE PLANK IN THE WRONG PLACE!!!!! DOH!!!
    OUT CAME THE ISO....THANKFULLY IT CAME OUT QUITE EASILY....PHEW!
    I CAN NOW MOVE FORWARD AND START MAKING THE DECK FITTINGS.....ONCE IVE SANDED THE DECK SMOOTH
     
    THE CLAMPS I MADE EARLIER PROVED TO HAVE A FEW ISSUES WITH THEM.......SO THE BOXWOOD WAS REPLACED WITH ALUMINIUM....PROBABLY DOWN TO ME USING 3MM THREAD RATHER THAN THE UNF THREAD.
     
    THATS ALL FOR NOW FOLKS
     
    CHEERS...MICK

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.
