    Nice adjustment Dave; they look good. cheers Pat

    Very nice work indeed Ed; I am looking forward to your next volume. cheers Pat

    Looking good Mike. You will get there despite the challenges life throws yourway - it took me 14+ years to do my Endeavour cheers Pat
  5. BANYAN
    Small but good progress John; life takes priority. I hope your immediate health issues get sorted and my best wishes for your forthcoming 'leave of absence' from the museum. cheers Pat

    Beautiful job Danny, very nicely presented and plenty of details. Are you going to add a 'topping lift' to the accommodation ladder? cheers Pat
  7. BANYAN
    Thanks mate; yeah plenty of adjustments and trials needed. He is on version 4 as we speak, but thinks that should crack it cheers Pat

    Looking good Dave; you must be flogging those dockies (or enticing them with an extra rum ration or two) cheers Pat
  9. BANYAN
    Nice airbrush control and technique Greg, looking good. cheers Pat

    i Dave, thanks for looking in. The printer is one of 2 a mate of mine purchased; he is a wiz at 3D and G code and rather than learn even more skills before I have mastered the few I have,I have taken up his kind offer to produce these for me cheers Pat

    Let me the be the first to welcome you to the dark side Tecko Nice work on the boat. cheers Pat

    Many thanks for looking in and your kind comments Jason, I'll keep you posted on the capstan. Latest attempt allows most of the detail to be presented such as the capstan bar holes etc, but the bar locking pins are proving too much for the printer at 1:72. The hardest part will be trying to paint this as I have developed the 'old fella' shakes The doctor suggested I have a few drams the night before (but was careful to mention that he was not encouraging me to drink :)) cheers Pat

    Stunning work on that detail Karl; this is a very nicely presented model. cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN

    Thank you Druxey; appreciate you looking in and will greatly value any suggestions you may have to offer. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Thanks for looking in all; appreciate the feedback as it keeps me motivated cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    I keep forgetting you are doing all of this superb detail at 1:72 - wonderful work! cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    You have transformed the model into an educational and interesting asset for the museum Dan; a very nice job indeed on your repairs and detailing. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Thanks for looking in and kind remarks John -appreciated! Lin mentioned you may be down soon, will have to try and catch up. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Thanks Carl. That's the sceptre which is made from a small length of brass wire with a knob of sculpting material - it's permanent cheers Pat

    Hi folks, a few more progress pics showing the redone paintwork (hull) - still some touching up needed but it is getting there. Note the 'vermillion' ports (colour as per contract). i have portrayed her with bucklers in place on one side, and open on the other. The bucklers will be secured with a batten across the towing timbers once I have placed them (very soon) using a threaded rod and wing nut system. The next jobs are to add all the detail to the bulwarks which will include, ring bolts for gun tackles and breeching ropes, cleats for securing lines, iron garlands for ready use shoot, lead linesman's platform etc. As usual, all comments, suggestion for improvement etc are most welcomed. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Hi Greg; sorry for being AWOL for this build - hope there is some prime viewing room left Great subject and you have made some really good progress; that hull looks very true with the primer. As to Vallejo; couldn't agree more - I tossed mine. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Very clever Tecko; a little humour to keep the viewers attention is a great idea. This will be a very interesting diorama. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Looking very good Danny, pity about the red print mismatch, but the model overall is very consistent. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Stunning work Jason; very nicely detailed with clean sharp finishes. I have to agree with your choice on the 'gingerbread', the Georgian detail looks the part - she is looking very good indeed mate. 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.
