Very nice detail and work on those funnels Greg, they look really good. did you drill holes for the rail standoffs or simply glue them on? cheers Pat

Great progress Steven, she is coming along fine despite the issues caused by the garboard plank. As Druxey has said - great attitude to the process. cheers Pat

Very nice work Dave,the efforts paid off as they look very good. Did you try putting bits of white card behind the shrouds? i found that help me focus on the area of work a little better as the black on black against shadows certainly does do your eyes (and the brain) in. cheers Pat

Hi folks, just to confuse the situation more the following is an extract from the Contract for the building of the HMCSS Victoria (for the Colony of Victoria, Australia) built 1855: "Wales, Sheerstrake and Topside. - Mahogany, thick 3 inches, to taper forward and aft to 2 inches." cheers Pat -

Sone ingenuity you are demonstrating there Danny; they all look effective . One question though, would the fishing line hold paint if needed? cheers Pat

Hi Greg, sorry mate i thought it was resolved when you pointed out I had mis-identified the items. The items I was referencing to are those circled in a pic of yours I have edited. At first glance they looked a bit like a an EW equipment that emerged just after the war and I thought perhaps the Japanese were the first to use/invent it. I am wrong there I think. As you pointed out, these are the base for binoculars or some other equipment? Sorry to have confused the situation. Great diagram BTW - those were interesting Reference Manuals; ; the Admiralty Manuals of Seamanship (and the USN equivalent) are particularly useful for steel navy ships if you can get your hands on them - they were updated (new editions) every few years. cheers Pat

A Lorch Micro-Mill that never was ...

Where did you get those small (6mm) blanks from in the USA please Eberhard? cheers Pat -
Any update is a good update Gerhard - and family should always be first priority. look forward to your next update. cheers Pat

Those covered comms or Electronic Warfare (EW) domes (assuming that is what they are on the rear corners) seem a little advanced for WWII era Greg? - was this destroyer fitted as she was at the end of the war? Nice work on the super detailing. cheers Pat

Spot on; exactly that type of sword handle which I find a little too large for any other use but marking out. I think I will try and replace it; although the other side of it acts as a great sheath cheers Pat

Thanks Jay, appreciate the feedback. I have a Japanese marking knife (single bevel - right) that I picked up at a woodworking show here. It has a fitted handle but I may try and take it off. As Rick points out we pay through the nose for quality stuff as many retailers use the excuse of shipping costs to over-elevate the price - but, it is very expensive for us to order them OS. may have to look at a bulk buy with others to try and beat those shipping costs a little 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.
