Hi John, I haven't looked in before now much to my loss. Great model of an unusual modelling subject. Ypur model looks great and I love all the additional detail you have added. cheers Pat

Even more impressive when noting at 1:72 - are you doing the same on the other model at smaller scale again Ed? cheers Pat

Hi Keith - as an Aussie this made me smile - Melbourne (even this far south of the equator) often gets to high 30s and even 40s on occasion Very nice work with your mill - I just wish I had your tooling skills as there are so many jigs I wish to make. cheers Pat

Ditto Druxey - your craftsmanship is of a very high standard. 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

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

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.
