    Thanks mate - just taken a long time getting there
  2. 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

    That's a really nice model Dave; great work (and well worth enjoying ) cheers Pat
  4. BANYAN
    Even from these preliminary stages, it looks like this will be another finely detailed model Greg. cheers Pat

    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

    Enjoy Pat

    Very nice clean work Mark; that mill jig looks quite useful for several purposes other than profiling also. The waterways look good in-situ and the careful marking out and the plank profiles will add a lot of very nice detail. cheers Pat

    Hi Greg, have edited my post to remove the ref completely Sorry mate, rereading I hope you didn't think I was preaching terminology re "sponsons" - it wasn't intentional and simply automatic for me to use this terminology with my background. cheers Pat
  9. BANYAN
    Beautiful work as usualk Gregg; the 'stack' look great. cheers Pat
  10. BANYAN
    Looks good Greg, those sponson supports have a lot of detail for such small items. cheers Pat
  11. BANYAN
    That worked quite nicely OC - looking good (even with the glasses on ) cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    That is one very detailed kit Greg; how frustrating it must be to drill and assemble all those individual stanchions. cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    That is an interesting winch concept and will make some very nice detail. cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    Just took a flit through your build OC and the level of detail you are adding is impressive - very nice model developing here. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Nice work and some good progress Alan cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Nice progress Mark - better do it mate - no arguing with she whom must be obeyed cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Great to hear you are in good spirits and recovering - stretch those "fuss" days out as much as you can mate; doesn't happen too often cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    Some seriously nice PE detail there Greg; wonder you didn't go cross-eyed doing those porthole deadlights though cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    What would modelling be without these mishaps Sjors? As long as you see the positive side of it, it becomes a learning experience Great that Deagostini have supported their product like this. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Made my day, great joinery and workmanship as usual Alex cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Stunning! what else can you say - you are a very talented modeller Karl. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Good luck Rowan - have had surgery on C3, 4 and 5 for similar issues - all good now, so hang in there mate - yopu'll be back finishing her before you know it. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    The beauty of the internet and the great collective experience we have on this site - thanks for the explanation Gerard (we learn things every day) and thanks Big Mac for raising the sugject. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    What a gem Denis - looking great! Those little details add so much to a build. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Could they simply be a large counterweight (cantilever)? The last image is not that clear but appears to have only a tackle on the opposed side? the weight would then assist in the working of the yard???? Only conjecture offered for further discussion. 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.
