    That is a very fine looking hull Russ; this will one little beauty when complete. Slow progress is still good progress cheers Pat
  2. BANYAN
    Nice to see you back at it OC; she is standing proud now. cheers Pat
  3. 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

    Neat idea, off to J-Car for me cheers Pat

    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

    Very neat and well constructed Dave. What is the pegboard constructed from? At first I thought it was a dust suction/extractor but the pegs do not fall through - a neat idea for constructing/assembling these types of items. cheers Pat

    Hi Dave and thanks for looking in. It is great to see you back at your Endeavour also - some nice rigging detail you are achieving. You will see some dramatic change to Victoria soon as I have been busy making lots of small parts and preparing the hull for its' coat of paint cheers Pat

    Very nice work Amalio, nicely rigged carronades. cheers Pat

    Some very nice detail there Dave and very clean rigging techniques. i especially like the mast collars at the partners. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Great info Ed, and you were very meticulous in your work - would never know that they had changed. I will need to watch for similar lead issues when i get to the rigging. cheers Pat

    Frustrating indeed Ed, some surprises for the future when someone xrays or takes a peek inside She is really looking good with more of her finery added. cheers Pat

    Hi Neil, very early in my Endeavour build i followed a recommendation to paint the bottom of my hull with bitumen. I acquired a small can of the bitumen based undercar preserving compound and applied it as was. It looked great and really simulated the 'brown stuff' used on the hulls before white stuff really well. It dried reasonably well but as Druxey states not completely. Then along came summer and you can guess what happened, it MELTED and went all over the base etc. Lesson learned, I scraped it off then tried to remove the residue with turps etc but the liquid part of the solution had really penetrated the wood. the end result was an unexpected really pleasing outcome as it applied a very nice patina to the walnut planks. You can see the difference in the following photo. 1. Don't apply as bitumen! 2. Look for smaller quantities in the under car body/chassis preservation compounds . cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Good luck with the move, they can be quite stressful. Looks like you have moved your models Ok - quite the collection you have. 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.
