    Seems this ship is throwing a fair number of of challenges at you Denis but it seems you are "adapting and overcoming" Nice start to your planking. cheers Pat

    Nice recovery Sjors cheers Pat

    Very nice Michael, and it does EXACTLY what you want it to do with precision (and a lot cheaper than buying one also I bet :)) cheers Pat

    Following along on this very interesting build. It is also great to see the various types of new/newer technologies being considered for this build. cheers Pat

    Denis, WRT hatch covers I would say it depends on how you wish to depict her. If you are fitting sails (at sea) then the hatch covers (canvas) would have been fitted. If in harbour, just arrived or ready to sail) you could go either way (canvas on or off), but if depicted as in port at anchor/alongside then the canvas would have been off in most circumstances with some of the hatch covers open for loading/unloading? I would also go with the flat bar handles as John has shown if you do not fit canvas sea coverings (to protect the cargo) More decisions sorry mate. cheers Pat

    Stunning work yet again Alexander, those look superb. cheers Pat

    If you are worried about the varnish reacting with the balloon try another forming method such as a sand filled bag. Get the sand bag into the shape you want, drape the sail over it and spray on the varnish. Just be sure to be using a colour fast fabric for the bag, or put a layer of glad/cling wrap over the bag between it and the sail to be sure. cheers Pat

    Congrats Elijah, one down and many more to build. As RC stated above, a major achievement in completing your first build, many lose patience or confidence in their skills. Good luck with Philadelphia. cheers Pat

    I am with John on that one denis; the only thing I think to really consider (which it appears you have) is that the colour combinations need to be high contrast so as to make them more easily visible on the sea surface. cheers pat

    Looks very good Russ; nice trimming work. Great decision on the wood grain, always pays to have the strength of the wood working for you. cheers Pat

    Mark, you have rebuilt so much of this model that you could have two ships That said, I very much like your attitude that near enough is not good enough; and it will pay dividends in the long run as you say. That deck planking is coming on very nicely. cheers Pat

    Believe in learning the hard way do you mate? - ouch they looked pretty good too which makes it worse cheers Pat

    very nice job on the boats Dave; they look terrific. The 3D printed parts look excellent also, glad to see you persisted. I am assuming the ironwork for the masts etc are also 3D printed? cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    Great to see you back at the build table Denis; hopefully all is good now? cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    very effective technique; many thanks for sharing it. A great explanation of the steps etc. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Great progress greg; hopefully the book will not expose too much difference. You have certainly made some major improvements to the base kit. cheers Pat

    Hi folks, have not updated this build for awhile as I have been busy researching all the fitting necessary to be fixed to the bulwarks as once deck furniture is added there will be little or very restricted access to the bulwarks. I am currently determining the rigging/belaying plan to determine where cleats, eyebolts, belaying pin racks/rails and leads/blocks need to be fitted. I am also continuing to research the armaments: see following which has been resolved. cheers Pat

    Hi Denis - found you I was wondering why your trawler was mothballed An interesting build with very good progress. I have bolted my chair to the floor so I can't be pushed aside I think the purpose of the Like button, as used now, is to allow readers to acknowledge posts and a like means they like what you have said or done - which to me is a sensible implementation. cheers Pat

    Thanks for showing your process and build sequence for the frames Gaetan. It is very informative and shows how important it is to have a well thought through process in the mass production of frames. It seems you have found efficiencies in this process rather than manufacturing one frame at a time. cheers Pat

    Very nice Sjors; looks just 'jim dandy' cheers Pat

    Les, I recommend having another look at that diagram. Marquardt shows the overall pump and it is correct for an Elm Tree pump style. All pumps went all the way down to the bilges. What is shown below decks is the pump chamber/suction pipe (trunk). the bit above deck is the exposed bit seen on almost all drawing s of ship using this design. Sometimes they were on the upper/weather deck as for Endeavour, sometimes on the gun deck for multiple gun deck vessels, and sometimes a couple on one deck, and a couple on the other. What is different with Marquardt's depiction is the height of the trunk (raising pipe as he calls it) protruding above the deck. Whether the amount protruding that he shows is correct or not I cannot say, but the concept/style of pump is correct. Also note the scale of the drawing as the height would be a little more than perhaps perceived at first glance; but it is depicted as a shorter exposed trunk than normally seen for this style of pump. cheers Pat

    Thanks Per, just found this post of yours - a very handy link cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Nice job Dave; they look very good, and makes me wonder why I didn't consider yellow/ochre for the thwarts etc - looks good against the white. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Great pictorial description of the process and jigs Michael. A masterclass in micro metal-smithing. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    I have workshop envy; any cures? That is a very organised way of working Gaetan; you obviously have a very well thought through process of construction. 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.
