    Welcome back to the fray Mike. Now that you have started it will be all the easier to keep going (says I having put off some tasks for too long ) That hull looks very good. cheers Pat

    Nice work Greg. Are you going to distress the deck and add tyre marks at the landing area etc? cheers Pat

    More nice work Keith, makes my day seeing these updates - but I don't think the 'laptop' has made yours cheers Pat

    She's looking very fine indeed Steven; the overall shot really shows how much effort and detail you have put into the build. cheers Pat

    Nice job Tim, glad you are happy with the results - she looks great. cheers Pat

    Another consideration for naval vessels would have been 'visibility' - from a purely tactical point of view why colour sails so that you are more easily spotted against the horizon? At least flax sails tended to be of less contrast against clouds etc. cheers Pat
  27. BANYAN
    Ahh, you'll just have to stretch out that last 10% then Rob - can't have a sudden loss of visibility to these fine ships can we (sincerely). cheers Pat

    A lot of detail under the deck (for the catapult) mate; how much will be visible? Good lock with laying the deck in sections; hope all goes without drama. cheers Pat

    Hi Carl, At times it felt like that cheers Pat
  30. BANYAN
    Very fine work Eberhard, especially noting the scale you are working at. cheers Pat
  31. BANYAN
    In the photos at least it is impossible to see the difference in the line colour (or size) Rob; nice job! Making some great progress, you cannot be too far off finishing her now? cheers Pat

    Thanks Steven, I am with Mark based on the initial feedback, possibly something to do with working or recovering the anchor? (or possibly he ram?) When I get a chance I will look back through some of my early stuff and see if I uncover anything. cheers Pat

    Hi Carl, If I get the chance to go back I will certainly allow a couple of days to catch upu with a few MSW members The last trip was just too hectic with a lot compressed into a very short time.. John, there is also the Titanic experience in Belfast (I think). cheers Pat

    Hi Steven, Lehmann has raised some interesting points worth some further investigation. My 'tuppence' worth - I would really like to know the purpose or position of the block. Was it part of a tackle, fixed to the hull/deck or a running block. This would help to determine the block's shape and construction as some of the features have been lost to 'rot' - how much we do not know I assume. Fore example, if the block was used as part of a tackle, it also may only have needed one or two holes. But if fixed to the hull or deck, the holes may only have been needed for securing other ropes as well? Do you have some information, even a hint, as to what it was used for? cheers Pat

    Hi John, Would have loved to do more but the only ship 'up north' (by UK standards - as all are up north from Melbourne) was the Britannia (thanks Keith). I think I may have had my leave cancelled if I had sounded out the Admiral to do more As it was she was having 'kittens' by my wanting to climb the rigging on the SS Great Britain. There was a chance to do it (for a fee) but unfortunately the activity had closed by the time the tour had finished I did have Chatham on my list but time ran out unfortunately. I was told it is undergoing a major refurbishment and that it will be a much better visit in the future - so there's my excuse to go back 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.
