    Looks great Rob. Kidney stones are indeed no fun! I've been there and know what you are experiencing, you did well to work through them. Can't they break them up with ultrasonic treatment to ease things a bit? cheers Pat

    Enjoy the holiday John. You've done a great job with the restoration. So many people will now see her (if not yet complete) in a whole new light but not understand/know the hours of effort put into her. cheers Pat

    Those garboard planks went in well Dave, have any problems with them? The 3D armament looks good. I gather you have painted them, what colour/brand did you use? Some great progress mate. I ventured into my shed for the first time in months yesterday. Hoping to make a restart (yet again) this week. cheers Pat

    Wow, love that figurine and the uniqueness of the overall design for your stand Rob. Looks great! cheers Pat
  26. BANYAN
    From what you describe, I think your choice of option 1 is best also. In the end though it is your choice Richard. Is this just for aesthetics or to waterproof them? If the latter, I think you ample coats to do that. cheers Pat

    Excellent craftsmanship Eberhard, they are looking very seaworthy. cheers Pat
  29. BANYAN
    Ditto John cheers Pat

    Nice work Rob, those channels with the chainplates etc look great. cheers Pat
  31. BANYAN
    Thanks Dave, I have a copy (paperback)m of the Sirius Past and Present, and a coffee table book of the First Fleet (the reenactment). Thanks for the feedback; I think only one of those would be useful then (if both are similar in content). I will. go with your advice re Alan Frost. I have a few books on the Investigator and Mather Flinders, as I have great interest in the early cartographers/explorers. The best of these I think is a large format hardcover written by Geoffry Ingleton. cheers Pat
  32. BANYAN
    coming on really well Dave, that is some pretty neat planking for a first layer. Interesting reference material also; I may need to have a look at one or two of those also. Which would you recommend as the better (all round) of the two 'First Fleet' books? cheers Pat
  33. BANYAN
    That 'acorn' is probably a ring bolt for the chain stays; certainly that is what they are in the 'Victoria' - the davits look very, very similar. I have been trying to adapt some soft metal ones with no luck. Are these resin prints? cheers Pat
  34. BANYAN
    Those davits look great Jerry; nice work. cheers Pat
  35. BANYAN
    Wow Glen, another finely presented SIB. Great final photos BTW mate. Looking forward to your next build. 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.
