    Thay have that routine worked out very well. It is amazing what the old generation could do without the power tools these lads are using. That is not to take away from their skills; they certainly work fast and well. cheers Pat

    Norden is looking very much the working boat now Denis - nice job. cheers Pat
  3. BANYAN
    I reckon these will turn out quite well knowing you Mark; a few done each day will soon add up without too many headaches. get those yarddogs busy then cheers Pat

    Very nicely executed detail Danny. This model is so well done that at first glance you would never know it is card. cheers Pat
  5. BANYAN
    Your joinery is absolutely first class Amalio. cheers Pat

    A very informative update Ed; thanks once again for showing us some of your techniques - the copper wire wrapped to simulate the shackles is very effective! Those yards and rigging details are exemplary and show what can be done with a little care and attention to detail. cheers Pat

    I fell a diorama coming on Danny? cheers Pat

    That's a brilliant painting Jim - really catches the fishing village atmosphere cheers Pat
  9. BANYAN
    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
  15. 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
  22. BANYAN
    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
  23. BANYAN
    Outstanding detail at 1;72 - I have to keep reminding myself of that. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    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

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.
