    Fantastic detail and superb metal work. How do you form those gudgeons to have such clean and sharp angles? Do you file them from a solid piece? cheers Pat

    Hi Mike, as per Jud and I tend to rig mine off the model first using the vertical (adjustable) part of my rigging station shown below. i adjust this to the right distance apart (just longer than needed), clip the hooks into the alligator clamps (with both block facing the same way - end on or side on) and rig it here before transferring to the ship. If two single blocks, start with the rigging line attached to the heel of the upper block, run to bottom block threading from front to back, up to the top block threading back to front then down to the bottom block. Cut the running end allowing enough to form several loops or coils after belaying. Use a micro clip (see other photo - available from electronics stores) to temp hold the running end to the other parts of the tackle lines. The trick is to ensure you do not twist this setup during transfer This station (rigging crab) is based on one designed by the late Hubert Sicard (Wooden Ship Modelling for Dummies). I hope that helps?

    Great techniques Ed. You have accomplished quite some detail with the parcelling and serving at such a scale - the result is excellent. cheers Pat

    Steven, try electronics stores for the isopropanol here; the techies use it with their electronics projects apparently. i got some from there in a spray can as well as solution. cheers Pat

    Perseverance + attitude + problem solving = solution Great result Dan. cheers Pat

    Very nicely faired hull Gaetan; you must be happy to moving onto new tasks cheers Pat

    Should look good with final coat Carl, nice work. cheers Pat

    Really nice work there Ben, even roughly faired the finish looks great. cheers Pat

    A great outcome OC, it looks good despite your misadventures with VA cheers Pat

    Very nice work on the hull Danny, looks like you have mastered this build medium. cheers Pat

    Great work Alexandru; your metalsmithing in particular is very good. An interesting and unusual subject to model. cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    Looks like some type of elevator Greg. cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    Should be interesting cheers Pat

    Welcome back Dashi, glad to see you were able to make some progress - nice work BTW. I can empathise as I had a neck operation for similar nerve issues a couple of years back - wishing you well. cheers Pat

    Who's been a busy boy then Looks great Greg. Here you are nearly two done, already bought the third and I have hardly dented the build of the Victoria - but I have been a little distracted with making furniture for the latest addition to the family - a lovely granddaughter cheers Pat

    Coming along very nicely Danny! cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Nice work on that traveller Dave, she's looking great! cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    That is really nice clean and fine detail Rusty. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    That is a very fine looking hull Russ; this will one little beauty when complete. Slow progress is still good progress cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Nice to see you back at it OC; she is standing proud now. cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Very accurate fitting of the cap and mast tenons Ed; it shows the care and attention you place on making each part. I still haven't gained the confidence to do that peening as you show; my efforts would have destroyed the fitting. Very nice work! cheers Pat

    Hi Jaager, among other tasks I have used one to: 1. as an upside down router for rounding/shaping edges and creating grooves in decorative pieces, 2. creating the blanks for gun carriages (individual slices taken off with saw to create carriage sides) 3. making parts (whelps etc) for capstans. 4. making/shaping the waterways. 5. milling small wood parts. There are many uses once you can think through the set ups; I suppose you could say only limited by your imagination and ability. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Neat idea, off to J-Car for me cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Great to see you contemplating a return to the building desk OC; hopefully you will be able to complete her soon. Looking forward to your updates. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Great production line you have going Ed, the results are up to your usual very high standards. Once again, many thanks for sharing your techniques; and, the addition of the people barrier is a point well taken 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.
