    Stunning! I don't think I could try to do justice with words cheers Pat

    Busy boy indeed Danny; seems you are ready to move onto the next kit Nice work on all that detail; it will look good in-situ. cheers Pat

    Hi Techo, just found your log and what a great subject to see and learn about. Enjoyed getting up to date and look forward to your future contributions. cheers Pat

    Very nice Gary, some good progress despite 'life'. cheers Pat

    Beautifully crafted ironwork Ed; working with copper has become my 'norm' now as well - many thanks for pointing me in the 'right' direction cheers Pat

    That is a pretty good setup Carl; I am assuming the plated slot is to allow smooth sliding if a steady-rest? Is that a live-centre on the tail end? cheers Pat
  7. BANYAN
    They look great Mark; some production line you have going cheers Pat

    Thanks for letting us know - another sad loss to the maritime, and in particular the ship modelling world. Pat

    Very nice job on the parrels Dave; the fun part is fitting them The printed versions look great with a uniform size and shape, and they look just like real wood. I did find some elongated beads but noting that looked right to provide the small oversize relative to the parrels themselves; your beads look about right at 1:60. I fitting the parrels I cheated a little. At one end I left a loop which went over the yard end and brought to the centre which simply left one end (two tails) to wrap around the yard. I passed these back and forth several times within the valley and then only had to tie off one end. Made it a bit easier but still took a bit of 'practice' to do in-situ. cheers Pat

    Love these two! cheers Pat

    Thanks again Eberhard; I am looking forward to this trip. i have deliberately given the NMM a liss as from what I can see, simply not worth a visit anymore Nice photos BTW. cheers Pat

    Very nice work Eberhard; you have a very nice, practical and efficient tooling setup there now. cheers Pat

    Hi Steven, sorry I did not respond against your second comment/feedback earlier - somehow I missed it, a senior's moment - much appreciate the info about Bristol and in particular about the GB. It's been a while since I was there; I served in HMS Bristol back in 1986 doing my Bridge Watchkeeping and Ocean Navigation Certificates - had a great time during a port visit there, but I was not fully aware of some of her maritime heritage collections. cheers Pat

    Thanks for the feedback and info Eberhard, great to hear that access to Chatham has improved but a little disappointing to hear Bucklers Hard is a tourist trap now - I think like you it was a much better option without the 'trappings' when I last visited there in the mid-80s. Thanks Mark, Ill be sure to do that cheers Pat

    Outstanding detail at 1;72 - I have to keep reminding myself of that. cheers Pat

    Thanks Dave. The plan is to 3D print the capstan and see what it looks like rather than manufacture one The plan is to do Portsmouth and Chatham Dockyards, and the SS Great Britain in Bristol, as well as revisit Bucklars Hard. I was based in Portsmouth for 2 years while on an exchange deployment with the RN, so I have a few mates there I hope to catch up with. I think I might be pushing my luck if I try for any more (in trouble with the Admiral that is). cheers Pat

    A bit disappointing for you Mark, but I am sure they will still look OK cheers Pat

    Thanks for looking in and the kind comments guys. I am off to the UK next year Steven and a visit to the GB is included (along with a few other maritime museums :)) As with your Dromon, the research is slowing me up quite a bit Great to see you back Bernie; hope to see more of your lovely 'James Caird' soon? cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Some production line you got going The buoys and staffs look great! cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Thanks Denis; appreciate the complement. Victoria is the same era and was built on the same principles as the Union/Confederate ships, and for a similar purpose, although she never engaged in any ship-to-ship battles - purely shore bombardments. cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Nope but yours look so much better I thought I might cajole you into it No probs re ref to resistance soldering. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Thanks for looking in and the positive reinforcement guys; much appreciated. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    What a beautifully crafted model Antony; you can be justifiably proud of this one. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Slow but steady progress John; an excellent foundation for your future planking. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Hi Dave; a very good process with excellent results - that yard furniture looks really good. i hope you are going to add those tiny bolts/pins 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.
