    Beautiful joinery Michael, a master carpenter couldn't do better. Those screws look great; any chance of seeing the 'formula' or process you settled on? cheers Pat

    Hi again Steven, WRT your point about throwing the 'lot' over the side with a couple of men seems counter to the purpose if you get my meaning? If two men can lift the lot, then that amount of chain will not have added much weight to the anchor. However, a length of chain would assist in keeping the anchor rope lower down near the seabed thus providing a better 'lead' when setting / getting the anchor to bight? Sorry, just adding to the confusion cheers Pat

    Look great indeed Steven cheers Pat

    Hi Eric, I know the feeling, I too am guilty of such processes - moving ahead without being fully focussed. I wish you well in your travels and I am sure you will be able to fix the 'boo boos'. cheers Pat

    There are 'rivet counters' (my preferred term) no matter what you do Michael ; the other benefit of vertical slots is that any moisture will drain better. cheers Pat
  27. BANYAN
    To echo Druxey; great discussion. cheers Pat
  28. BANYAN
    Oh well, I tried More nice work; very effective faux-screws Michael - look the real thing! cheers Pat
  29. BANYAN
    Very nice joinery Michael; the wood is an excellent choice. Now I have about a dozen doors in the house if you wouldn't mind cheers Pat
  30. BANYAN
    Looooove those bollards - very nice executed Keith; the house guests must have inspired your work cheers Pat
  31. BANYAN
    Hi Steven, reading "iron-throwing ropes" - could not another possibility be grapnels for throwing during boarding? cheers Pat
  32. BANYAN
    Very nice panel work (joinery) Michael, and a very good explanation of how you achieved it. cheers Pat
  33. BANYAN
    The rudder look very good Alan, very nice work indeed. cheers Pat
  34. BANYAN
    "Satisfied" is just a tad of an understatement! They are excellent examples of miniature engineering and look so real. Have an extra rum ration for your efforts What did you use for the miniature bolt heads in the plinths? Probably not much holding power but they look good and very much in scale. cheers Pat

    As Michael says, great to see your log started. Had to take a second look as at first glance the black object over the manual (to the left of workspace) looked like a pry bar and thought "Wow! must have really glued those planks down well" 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.
