BANYAN replied to BANYAN's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Sorry there has not been an update for a little while, I am back at the PC drawing up the plans, and continuing the research. I am going to have to ensure a quality build noting the experience and abilities of the build followers cheers Pat- 993 replies

Wow what a comeback Glenn, I had been missing your updates. Those skylights are stunning. I will be making some for my Victoria project in the coming year and wish I had CNC. I have the mill but I don't think I would use CNC enough to get value-for-money; may need to investigate a little further noting the great results you achieve. You truly are the master of metal; those 'charley nobles' look great, and a neat construction technique. I am learning so much from following your build log; many thanks! cheers Pat

A Lorch Micro-Mill that never was ...
BANYAN replied to wefalck's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Now that you have almost completed your prototype, I'll send over my 'Lanco' for you to adapt Very nice work Wefalck; that will be a very useful mini-machine and a fine addition to your wonderful workshop. cheers Pat -
JT here is a rough copy of such a fan someone posted on this site I think (sorry cannot recall who). These are the proportions by which to reduce square stock to get an octagon (the 10 is the meat that remains). Simply place the square stock on the fan so that the edges of the stock meet the outer edges of the '7' fan lines, then mark the wood with the other lines. The lines should be ruled with a straight edge back towards the centre to reflect the angle of taper rquired. For some yards, not direct to the centre but to the point of transition from straight octagonal to taperered round. These then give you the guide lines to which you reduce the square stock with plane, chisel, file or.... Note: the square stock should be reduced to the appropriate thickness before starting, such that the width of the meat [10] ends up wide enough, that after rounding, is the correct diameter of the round - this takes a little calculation. Always better to err on 'bigger' so that you can reduce; harder to add Once you have the round, even in taper, it is relatively easy to maintain it with further sanding. cheers Pat

CNC and Laser cutter in one - that seems an awfully useful machine Christi - great pick-up mate. I hope it lives up to its claims and you get good use out of it - it certainly looks promising. Does it require any specialised software? cheers Pat

Major milestone completed with the running rigging Dave, she is certainly looking great! cheers Pat

Not a good thing Mark - back to hand cutting for a while...or can HMS Visa find some room after Xmas spending? cheers Pat

They would be small at that scale OC; but to me the driver would be the quality of the kit part. If it holds definition and shows the correct detail, stay with it; otherwise... cheers Pat

Quite a bit of detail even in the funnels - this should make into one very nice model Greg. cheers Pat

Hi Dave, I am sure you'll get the hang of it if you are used to AutoCAD. There are a few 'quirks' with the program I am still trying to get to grips with but I am coming from a "know nothing' background; your experience will help a lot. My biggest errors were not using 'blocks' so I have far too many entities, and using the wrong line tools ending up in far too many nodes. cheers Pat

That's a pretty good result Ulises. cheers Pat

That looks really good Dave; I might have to have a look at that myself. let me know when you get to the Yawl and Gig, as I have to do those yet - a set of dxf files for those would be useful if you don't mind sharing? cheers Pat

My, you have been busy Greg. That is looking good; quite the complex ship but I suppose it had to be with all that armament. 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.
