    Well you certainly know how to make a 're'entry Keith, stunning work as usual. cheers Pat

    That pump looks great Eberhard, although translucent there is enough detail visible to show the craftsmanship that went into making it. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Great to see you back Keith, I have been missing your build. Sorry to hear of the trials and tribulations with your renovation mate; seems insurance appointed builder same the same world wide - the cheapest builder they can find who then tries to 'screw us out of every dollar they can'. Mine had the hide to inform me that he had bought a large fishing boat from his profits and then had buy a large 'white rock'; for the missus to compensate. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Great result Eberhard, this build is certainly introducing us to some new, and dare say unique, construction methods/techniques. cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    And... we're off and running. Looking forward to your log as you progress this unusuall PS Keith cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Been there having experienced the same issue Dave. Thankfully it has abated now; good luck with defeating the problem. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    A great result, and excellent work on this SIB model Glen, my first thought was 'Oh my singed whiskers' - that would have been 'warm work' in the bow. Can't wait to see what idea you generate for your next extravaganza. cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Ditto, some great detail in such a small model. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    A quirky but interesting vessel indeed Keith; should make into a very interesting model. If it is an opening, it could be simply be a vent (covered with some form of grill/netting) for a direct drive engine mounted between the paddles within that box extension? cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Another nicely executed detail Ilhan. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    That is stunning work Ilhan. Very precise joinery and metal smithing at that scale. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Well that's a relief Glen, I can ease off on the 'pucker' factor' now Great job and excellent description on how to get the job done, football distractions aside. lets hope some of those reflections still show once yopu add the waves etc. cheers Pat

    In my proposal for a 'cool safe' I mentioned seeing these on some Murray River (Victoria/NSW, Australia) paddle steamers. Here are two photos of PS Adelaide I took some years back with a cool safe on the roof of her fore cabin structure. I also found one on the 'net' in a BLOG about Murray River paddle steamers (but failed to not the blog - sorry), and a close-up of a cool safe that was advertised on a local auction site. I hope these are useful Keith. As I mentioned in a PM to Keith, I have seen these in a more ovalised/rounded shape also but cannot find a photo. One 'fly in the ointment' though, note the shape and colour of the navigation light pole on the wheelhouse roof. Maybe a potential candidate also (although a little smaller and less symmetrical in shape than you show). cheers Pat
  27. BANYAN
    Thanks again, I will take note of that as it is a skill I still wish to acquire (I simply draw up my requirement and someone else does my PE - It will be useful to do myself if needed in the future.) cheers Pat
  28. BANYAN
    I have assumed the appropriate level of 'pucker factor' and eagerly awaiting the outcome of your intrepid operation Glen. perhaps a good dose of the naval rum (medicinal of course) would help steady the hands? 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.
