    Looks great Ben, some very good progress made. Can't wait too see him in actions - are you still doing glowing eyes? cheers Pat

    Thanks for the wishes Carl, and back at you. I hope you have a great Christmas and find some time to finish your Musashi. That photo looks familiar cheers Pat
  3. BANYAN
    Sure you haven't had a lot of practice rolling other things Danny? They are very nicely finished. cheers Pat

    If you had not pointed it out Jim, I think most would not have noticed the alignment of light and beak Nice work (again). cheers Pat

    Nice work on this project Denis; I have just read through and it seems it had its challenges. I had the pleasure of being aboard this vessel for about a week (on and off) as the Liaison guy for her visit to Australia for one of our national milestone celebrations - brought back some great memories. cheers Pat

    Very nice machine work Eberhard; once again you show what is possible using a mill with some careful planning. Very nice quality work for that scale. cheers Pat

    Even there you need an Aussie coach Keith Merry Christmas John, look forward to your future updates re Meteor cheers Pat

    Impressive work Danny, some very well presented detail. cheers Pat

    You are absolutely right there Jan; let's see if our scrap hungry neighbours will stay away? cheers Pat

    Very neat Ben. He looks like he is well suited to the task; that pose imparts a strong stroke. cheers Pat

    The purpose of the search, as with HMAS Sydney, was to find the crew and resolve the mystery of her demise. Other than to photograph her with the intention to determine how she was sunk, I believe the intention is to leave her in her resting place - she is afterall a war-grave. "Eternally on patrol" Pat

    Many thanks Karl, I will have to look around for a few; they look very handy. cheers Pat

    I think you nailed the difference - according to Wiki: Rowing is the act of propelling a boat using the motion of oars in the water, displacing water, and propelling the boat forward. The difference between paddling and rowing is that rowing requires oars to have a mechanical connection with the boat, while paddles are hand-held and have no mechanical connection. Semantics anyway your skeleton is taking shape! cheers Pat

    Nice work as usual Ben; I love the colour combination of the woods. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Great to see you back in the dockyard John, a great start. I am of the same mindset with jigs, they do not need to be complicated, or even pretty - just effective. Yours seems to very efficient for the task at hand and even looks good cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Nice repair on the LB Michael, your colour matching is excellent. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Thanks for reposting Karl, ever so glad you persisted as that is stunning workmanship to behold - nice joinery! You set a very high standard I like those clamps you use; I have not seen the likes before; are they commercial; or home made? regards Pat
  18. BANYAN
    That looks good Ben, he will uup and rowing (or is it paddling) before we know it cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Coming along nicely Greg -these were were one scary ship in my day Have a great Christmas cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Very nice work on the wire Michael. I have to make similar wire rope (not brass though) so this will be helpful. cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Photos not showing for me - I am using Chrome with Win 10 OS
  22. BANYAN
    Nice job Jim, the plating looks great. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Nice joinery Ben, your attention to detail is obvious - as Greg says, pity this work will be mostly unseen in the future - but we know it is there cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Really nice work Dan, nicely detailed. You do have those techniques mastered now, as this stage seems to have taken you a lot less time. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    One word says it all - Stunning! 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.
