    Looking good Steve; a lot of sanding as you say but worth the effort. cheers Pat
  2. BANYAN
    I like the white framing and base for the case, sets the model and its baseboard cradle oiff nicely Russ cheers Pat
  3. BANYAN
    Nice production line Michael Your approach to all this is enlightening; I am following with great interest. cheers Pat
  4. BANYAN
    Congratulations Druxey; I am sure the new owner will enjoy displaying that little beauty. cheers Pat
  5. BANYAN
    oops Glad you were able to extract and repair it John - Don't you just hate those moments? That is a really nice looking model, will she be going home with you or remain at the museum? cheers Pat
  6. BANYAN
    Looking good Carl, a lot of good detail that will make these guns look great in-situ. cheers Pat

    I have not worked with boxwood much Vossie, but is it possible that it has natural oils and that this concentrates in some places more than others? As to the counter I think black would contrast quite well with the near white of holly and make the holly really pop - no harm in painting a bit of black on some off cut and use it as a visual reference/comparison? cheers Pat
  8. BANYAN
    you've really got a grip of this airbrushing lark now Greg, looks very good. cheers Pat

    Unfortunately, I can't say too much due to "Disclosure Limitations" Denis. The movie is fiction and very loosely connected the ship. They needed a model for the final scene and I had the only model available - so not about the model cheers Pat
  10. BANYAN
    Will be good to see you back in the shipyard Denis; hopefully you are well and truely on the mend this time. cheers Pat

    No progress on the boats as I have been concentrating on researching and building HMCSS Victoria. Just thought I would let folk know that my Endeavour is to be used as a film prop in a forthcoming movie being shot in Melbourne - I can't release details but it will feature prominently at the end of the movie and while the credits roll. A nice little 'return' for all the hours spent. So off to the shoot today. cheers Pat

    Looks pretty good Vossie, the second layer has a very good base. It seems you have tamed the beast cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    She's seen some serious sea-time this one; that is very effective weathering Greg. cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    ...and slowly she emerges That is really looking like the form of yet another very nice set of lines Russ cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Mark, what about taking a bit off the ends of a few of the after runs (the amount equal to a beam separation distance). If done at random, would this not generate the staggered butt pattern? I am assuming the planks are only dry fitted though? cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Great progress Dave, your build is looking very good. A very helpful resource in those drawings; wish I could find something like that for my research. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    That's great progress Russ with a nice transition for the rabbet. cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    Hi Sport and Pfalz, If you are interested just contact Michael via a PM; that's what I did. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Nice job Ulises; how did you achieve that? Now the gun production line can begin cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    The ship and the figure look great, nice renders. Magnus, it was not uncommon for the cook, or his offsider to have a wooden leg or hook arm, as that was one of the few jobs a disabled crew member could sign on for if not fully able to man the yards, or do landlubber tasks. cheers Pat

    GemmaJF, i would be concerned with foam as after a while it starts to break down. I used balsa, which I sealed with a diluted PVA - would this cut with the CNC hot wire cutter noting its composition? Then again, I do not know the longevity of balsa either It might also be better to move this as a separate line of discussion rather than clog-up Mark's build log if there is much discussion on it? cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Glad the airbrush has turned out to your liking; can't beat good tools that are handled correctly (work or play) You have leap frogged me in application though as I have never tried layering shading etc. After seeing your efforts here I may consider this as an option for Vampire as i have the original resin hull to play with first. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Nice bit of kit bashing Jason, those galleries have come up very nicely and will look even better with the decorations. I found the other trick with the scraper mouldings is the choice of wood. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Thanks Dave, that's great feedback. I really need to get myself to one of these in the future cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Nice work Carl; that bling is adding some nice detail. Could always drape a thick chunky gold chain around it also 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.
