    Hi Bob, somehow I have missed your build - sorry for that. Nice build mate, she is looking great and I love the figures, they add a touch of life. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    A lot faster indeed and it looks great John. The spreaders have come up well. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Great work Glen, especially those little cannon. She's coming along nicely. WRT to raising her masts.; is it possible to use a rod with a pulley in the end? Rig as usual and lead the hoisting cord/rope through the end (pully with enough length to go to the back off the bottle and back through the neck. Put her in the way you want her (reverse) with the rod, then push the rod towards the back of the bottle and use this as the fulcrum to pull up the masts? A dab of glue on a long skewer would allow you to secure it. The hard part would be cutting the excess hoisting line away from the bow. Hope this makes sense? Enjoying following along as usual with your logs - thanks. Cheers Pat

    That's a great sectional model Chuck. Love your work! cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Your efforts have turned out very well Glen. Once you add the streaks that will look very realistic. cheers Pat
  26. BANYAN
    Ditto Keith. As much as I too would love to see the detail of the planking; it will all come down as to the level of detail accuracy you wish to portray. Your usual very high quality of furnishings and fittings will accurately show the vessel at a 'particular' time in history and for me the hull should mirror that - if painted at that time, go ahead and paint it. As the artist/artisan it is your final call though Keith. cheers Pat
  27. BANYAN
    Looking good Keith. I am sure you will get to grips with this; you always do. cheers Pat
  28. BANYAN
    Good to see you back mate. Look forward to seeing more of your fine work and tool discussions. cheers Pat
  29. BANYAN
    Excellent modification and 'tool-ology' Eberhard. As usual, your workmanship is 'par excellance'. cheers Pat

    John, this may be very true for small boats such as hobby sailing boats. It may even have some effect on larger vessels - I simply have no experience in the subject matter. The following from a prominent naval architect writing in the mid-19th century may also be pertinent. "When a sharp bowed vessel or ship has her masts to rake, it frequently eases her pitching, but never adds to her sailing, the wind having less power on her sails. However, it is necessary that a ship’s main and mizzen masts should rake more than the fore mast as separating them in this way, the wind acts with more power on all the sails when close-hauled which otherwise would not be affected and be of little or no advantage." Hopefully, this adds some value to the discussion. chjeers Pat

    Top job Steven, she looks great! cheers Pat
  32. BANYAN
    Love the acrylic base Greg, I will be very interested in following your efforts with this. cheers Pat
  33. BANYAN
    Oh I know that feeling Keith - with three granddaughters I think we have watched the Frozen movies more than (lost count) together. At least I haven't been asked to make a castle We're up to the "Monster High" TV shows now - ugh! Sorry to hijack. cheers Pat
  34. BANYAN
    Another masterpiece in the making Keith, remarkable work. She is looking an absolute treat for the eyes. 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.
