    What a wonderful little build Keith. My hat's doffed in respect. cheers Pat

    Keith, I know you receive a lot of plaudits and you have earned every one of them. However, I must add to them. Some of those shots, especially showing the door and side panelling, bed etc, are so life like, if you posted them in a magazine without explanation, I believe most people would think them the real deal. Exceptional quality and building. As Druxey says, perhaps you are having too much fun with this (even if 5 deg.)? cheers Pat

    Looks great Eberhard, I like the methodological approach you are taking with this little gem. Glad to hear you had a great Christmas and wishing you only the best in health and prosperity for 2026. cheers Pat

    Great to hear from you Michael, and many thanks for your kind thoughts. Like you, I am returning to a long suffering project which I hope to (re)start in earnest tomorrow with a good dust and clean up. We had our coldest Christmas in 20 odd years yesterday at 15degC so looking forward to some warmth soon Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and my best wishes for a great 2026. Looking forward to some updates on that beautiful model of yours. BTW, those third hands you produced are one of the most used in my workshop; still much appreciated. cheers Pat
  26. BANYAN
    Merry Christmas to you also Bob, I hope it is a safe and joyous day. cheers Pat
  27. BANYAN
    Merry Christmas Keith, I hope Santa's helpers surprise you with some modelling goodies cheers Pat
  28. BANYAN
    A unique model of a quirky PS Keith, looks great! Considering the limited source/reference material you had this has really turned out well. Merry Christmas mate. cheers Pat
  29. BANYAN
    Glad you did Steven, quite an amount of small incidental and/or supplemental detail about the vessel is dispersed throughout the state, records offices and personal collections. IK am sure I have missed, or I am not aware of many others, so I very much appreciate pointers such as yours. Have a safe and happy Christmas and the best of modelling wishes for 2026. cheers Pat
  30. BANYAN
    Thanks Eberhard, best wishes for the season to you and your family also. cheers Pat
  31. BANYAN
    Hey congratulations on your 50th Keith and Ann, that is truly a wonderful milestone to achieve. cheers Pat
  32. BANYAN
    Excellent workmanship (as is usual) Keith, that panelling looks great. You don't want to pop on over this side of the equator and do some 'life size panels' do you cheers Pat
  33. BANYAN
    Wow, nice catch. cheers Pat
  34. BANYAN
    Thanks everyone for the very kind sentiments and encouragement. @Louie da fly thanks, yep aware of that item, but I really think they have that placarded/identified wrongly. I think it is much too large to have been used onboard. More likely is that it was a swivel link used on the permanent mooring buoy allocated to her in Hobson's Bay. Appreciate the pointer. 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.
