That is amazingly neat and very detailed work ED; I learn so much from watching (and reading) your techniques. It is not so easy to turn it into practice though cheers Pat

Thanks Eberhard, that is a very interesting observation about 'shipyard' support and well worth me remembering for some other equipment selections. The 'Victoria' being built by a commercial yard and not for Admiralty, although to RN standards, allowed significant departure from many of the 'current' practices and fit in RN ships of that era. Based on the evidence above, I think I will go with the non-aligned chainplates as depicted. cheers Pat- 993 replies

Another small conundrum to resolve before I finalise the rigmaiden lanyards (see last image - From The Mechanics Magazine - out of copyright). Whereas in most earlier sailing ships using deadeyes and rope lanyards, the chainplates conform/align with the angle of the shroud the associated plate attaches to at the channel. From what I can see in the following photo (one marked up, the other as is for verification of detail) and the two lithograph details (curtesy of the State Library of Victoria), it appears that the chainplates on Victoria were simply at right angles to the channel and hull when looking straight a them (still bent to get the right angles to approach the hull when looking fore-and-aft). cheers Pat- 993 replies

Thanks for looking in and kind comments John and Dave. Alas, the cable is a bought aftermarket; not to that ability yet. It is 0.25mm oversize, but smallest I can find. cheers Pat- 993 replies

Hi folks, Work to progress all the parts that need to prepositioned or prepared prior to painting continues. I have been working on: the common Service Lifebuoy for the stern, started on the rigmaiden lanyards (these are used in lieu of the rope lanyards and deadeyes), refined the anchor release mechanism parts, the stern bench, the cable stoppers are finished, and I have fitted the heads (lids still to be fitted) - these align with the discharge pipes in the earlier photo to which a canvas hose was fitted to keep the sides clean. The Common Service Lifebuoy had two vertical rails on the stern which, when released, the buoy would slide down; at the same time smoke/flare in the top part would also be ignited by a gunlock. The weight at the bottom would pull down a rod telescoped into the vertical tube which would act as a keel for the two 16 inch (real life) copper balls and keep the flare/smoke vertical to the water. The buoy hung from the stern on the vertical rails by a small chain (just visible in the photo). I now have to predrill the four holes for the rods before painting. One standoff rod is slightly bent at the moment but easily fixed. Most of these parts are very small with the camera being very close it shows all the tiny imperfections just not visible normally - that is an inch ruler in the photos. I will be able to start painting very soon I hope. cheers Pat- 993 replies

All I can say is: STUNNING - I wish I could add multiple 'thumbs up' cheers Pat -
Looks good in the photo Charlie; but the real test is whether you like it As to the tarp, that is one option I think, not sure if they may have used a lead 'flashing' in a grating. Only problem is that the heat from the "charlie noble' (funnel) may have ignited a tarp covering that was so cl;ose? cheers Pat

Thanks, it appears I put too much trust in the first converter Google suggested. You are right - worth considerable consideration me theinks cheers Pat

Your hands are probably working autonomously by now with muscle memory well and truly established - had enough yet? They look great Dave, some lovely detail on your model. cheers Pat

Seems the price may have gone up? I enquired today and A$130 (¥3,700 with postage) is just a little too rich no matter how good the saw. 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.
