    Great attention to detail Greg; enjoying following this build. cheers Pat

    Hi Doug - signature probably in the signature block and hidden - I find having the signature blocks on wastes too much screen space. Sorry I should have thought of that. Thanks for your continued feedback as I have continued to remain interested in this option (CNC). As Mark points out, CNC could be valuable for repeated efforts, or as you point out for some of the more intricate parts. I must admit I have wasted quite a few pieces by inadvertently (read a lack of skill) not resetting the part correctly for the next step in my manual processes. At this stage I am still trying to learn (and relearn) too many other things than take up G Code and I am not sure my blood pressure would withstand the frustrations I will follow your efforts with interests though. cheers Pat

    Very nice work Karl, a great production set-up to use if not using a mill. A fearsome battery you have assembled. cheers Pat

    A very nice model of a working trawler Denis. You have detailed this one very nicely. cheers Pat

    An interesting analysis Heronguy (name? - sorry I hate using avatar names but I acknowledge privacy is a personal choice also). I went through the DRO vs CNC analysis when I purchased my Sherline also and the DRO won out mainly due to the cons you point out. I have found that except for a very few tasks most can be achieved with a DRO with some care and patience. The two main drivers for my choice were the amount of time I expended on learning yet another skill and, I would still end up with a number of failures etc due to not programming correctly. I therefore went manual, with the assistance of the DRO, to do the jobs I do. When it came down to it it was simple maths and economics: - how often in a build do I use the mill? - how long would it take me to set up the job (for both)? - does the cost differential warrant this? That said, if you have a CNC and mastered G-code; and even better if you can draw the 3D object and transfer/translate to G-code then it is certainly quicker and more efficient to use CNC. Another benefit I suppose is that you could achieve outputs with CNC with far less accessories such as tilting tables, compound cutters (taper accessory) etc. cheers Pat

    Thanks to tecko for the gif. I am afraid there is no going back for you Denis. cheers Pat
  7. BANYAN
    Great photos and even better memories for you and the girls Dave. cheers Pat
  8. BANYAN
    You've done this before haven't you Looks really effective - can't wait to see the water added. cheers Pat

    The netting size , look and feel appear right Denis. Cannot comment on the positioning or 'how it lays on deck' not having worked on trawlers. cheers Pat
  10. BANYAN
    Almost good enough for the oven mate Lookin' good cheers Pat
  11. BANYAN
    Close call - a bit too close beneath the load An interesting diorama story being displayed. cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    cheers Pat

    Very nicely finished and displayed model Maury; she looks great. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Looking good Greg; very effective technique. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Perfect - that looks so 'right' - nice attention to detail. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Terrific result on those funnels Dan; they look very good - you have manged to capture the intricacy of those 'beasts' even at scale. cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    Superlatives fail me with your continued impressive work at this scale Ed - I learn so much each time you post. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    That is looking great Tecko; the colour and 'patchiness' of the grass to the bottom end of the lawn around the house is spot on (in the photo at least) for "Aussie' grass that has not been manicured . cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Very nice work OC; your efforts are paying dividends as she looks very good. cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Very nice work on the yards Dave; brings back some memories Have fun at the games. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Very convincing effect when it works Tecko, pity you had to assist with the vac. The diorama is coming along really nicely -- are you going to add the council workers (or should I say 4 x supervisors and one labourer ;)) cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Looks very good Tecko; that mulch came out really well and 'in scale'. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Powering along now Mark; she looks great! cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Stunningly crisp detail 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.
