    Thanks for looking in all; appreciate the feedback as it keeps me motivated cheers Pat
  2. BANYAN
    I keep forgetting you are doing all of this superb detail at 1:72 - wonderful work! cheers Pat
  3. 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

    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

    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

    Very clever Tecko; a little humour to keep the viewers attention is a great idea. This will be a very interesting diorama. cheers Pat

    Looking very good Danny, pity about the red print mismatch, but the model overall is very consistent. cheers Pat

    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

    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
  13. 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
  14. BANYAN
    Very nicely executed detail Danny. This model is so well done that at first glance you would never know it is card. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Your joinery is absolutely first class Amalio. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    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
  17. BANYAN
    I fell a diorama coming on Danny? cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    That's a brilliant painting Jim - really catches the fishing village atmosphere cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Stunning! I don't think I could try to do justice with words cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    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
  21. BANYAN
    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
  22. BANYAN
    Very nice Gary, some good progress despite 'life'. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    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
  24. BANYAN
    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
  25. BANYAN
    They look great Mark; some production line you have going 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.
