    Hi folks, in trying to finish my HM Bark Endeavour c1770 (all the small things ) I am trying to determine what pennants would have typically been flown from the mastheads (in addition to the Jack forward and Ensign aft). I am assuming one would have been the commissioning pennant but I am unsure of its size and colours; this would probably have been flown from the mizzen? In a recent painting of Endeavour she is depicted with a pennant flying from each of the mastheads, with the mainmast pennant being fairly large (long). Any information re positioning, size, structure, colour etc would be most appreciated. cheers Pat

    You have a real talent for micro blacksmithing Glenn; the stoves looks superb! Nice to see an update but we can understand that you have been a little distracted with the shadow-build. cheers Pat

    Nice work on the rigging, especially the crows feet mate; it's a wonder you didn't turn to something a little stronger to drink cheers Pat

    Good to see you will be back soon Rusty, and a really nice workshop to hide in so all that hard work will be appreciated when you start back on 'Cheerful'. Nice restoration on that desk too mate; always nice to see the true properties of wood come back to life. cheers Pat

    That's some impressive detail for a ship at that scale. cheers Pat

    Nice work on those hinges mate; they came up very well. Almost ready for her launch now cheers Pat

    Great to see this little lady again John. Pity the "helpful" staff weren't a little more careful. cheers Pat

    Looking great Dave; really nice work. Paulv makes some good points. If using the AOTS for rigging, check the blocks for the running rigging for the sails (if fitting them) on the pages just before the belaying plan (115?). these show some of the rigging in front of, and behind the sail and are not shown on the running rigging plan or on the mast drawings. I found I had missed a couple of blocks (eg halliards, down haulers etc) but have developed a "running" loop method of fitting these which, if careful has allowed me to retro-fit them. cheers Pat

    Looks good Greg; nice "correction" with that syringe solution. Should look seamless when painted. cheers Pat

    Looking good Denis - keep the eyes focused ONLY on the items you need (nah, I can't do that either - always come back with something in addition ) Gibbs? NCIS fan then? (sorry if already answered elsewhere) cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    You will have the characteristics for each genus and varying thicknesses all sorted by the end of this build Mark - looking good. cheers Pat

    That winch is looking terrific mate, it will look great in-situ cheers Pat

    Mark if you can live with it all is good. The day I stop learning is the day they bury me Even on repetitive cuts using a stopper etc I seem to have minor error creep in so I don't think it ever stops. cheers Pat

    Thanks for looking in and commenting Greg and Don - rapidly approaching that point Greg But, I do need to add the rope coils and two further rigging lines as a minimum - and as I have ordered the Ensign, at least that also. The other two boats - I am debating these cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Thanks mate - just taken a long time getting there
  21. BANYAN
    Thanks for all the likes and comments guys - much appreciated. c.a. - yep, that is a copy of the original chart of the East Coast of Australia as charted by Cook on his voyage of discovery. Denis - thanks for noticing the blocks etc John - welcome back - i was wondering where you had gone as hadn't seen a post for a while (was about to PM you ) Keith, Russ and Dave - thanks for looking in and the encouraging comments (see you at the next meeting Keith?) cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    That's a really nice model Dave; great work (and well worth enjoying ) cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Even from these preliminary stages, it looks like this will be another finely detailed model Greg. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Slowly coming together - these are the latest progress photos. Apart from 2 bunt lines to do on the foremast topsail yard, I have many (NO - very many) coils to make up and place, add the Ensign (waiting for it to arrive), finish the spare yards, 2 x mast tackles (showing them in use), add some boat details (oars etc), make the skiff and yawl and lastly - enjoy 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.
