Hi all, I am finally getting towards the end of this build but I still have a lot of small detail to go. I have been busy making bits and bobs for this detail while finishing the rigging. As you can see from the progress shot, I only have the braces and tye for the fore topgallant for the rigging (unless I have missed something (quite likely) The deadlights are well progressed and should be completed in the next couple of days; these will be displayed in the open position. The rudder pendants have been completed and will be fitted once the deadlights have been fitted - the spectacle plate has been fitted. The swivel guns have been completed but will be the last items fitted (after adding all the coils etc to the belayed lines and ropes etc). I have decided to fit the fish davit with the topping lift which has been rigged to a tackle hanging from the fore burton pendant. I have also rigged the cat block (I know the boomkin and martingales should be removed for an anchoring evolution but I wish to show this detail) and I intend to hang the anchor, with cable bent on, from the fish hook and have a painter rigged from the cat block hook and led through the anchor ring and then to forecastle as if the anchor has just been raised. One of the photos shows some of this detail. [Edit] I have forgotten to add a size reference. The deadlights are about 22mm x 10mm. The fish hook, cat block etc are all scratch. cheers Pat

Hi Greg, I have 2 airbrush systems. For general wide coverage with acrylics etc I use the Aztek; however, for finer work I use a Harder and Steenbeck (H&S) Infinity CR+ (German made). This is a high end airbrush and top quality - mine has proven faultless and I am very happy with it. No matter which airbrush you buy, a little practice and experimentation is necessary to get the best out of it but you would have no troubles with that. cheers Pat

Some how I missed this Eberhard; extraordinary work! I am impressed with that micro-machining. Don't want to knock up a set of those cable stoppers etc in 1/72 scale huh? cheers Pat

Spare Spars
BANYAN replied to BANYAN's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
Thanks for the further comments Druxey and JB; much appreciated. At this point I think I will go with 2 x spare top masts (shaped but not drilled/mortised for sheaves) and a couple of spars (tapered). However, as she was deployed on a long, unsupported voyage i think I may add a couple of round (not shaped) poles also. cheers Pat -
Spare Spars
BANYAN replied to BANYAN's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
Thanks for the feedback Allan and Wayne, much appreciated. Your thoughts/comments align with my research to date; hence my thoughts that perhaps a more generic set of poles may have been carried that could be adapted to meet the need. Allan, I will take a look at that model and some other contemporary models held by the NMM to see if there is some consistency. I know a lot of the more modern (later built) models, and the AOTS etc show shaped spars and masts but is this interpretation or based on fact? cheers Pat -
Spare Spars
BANYAN replied to BANYAN's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
Thank's Duff, do you have a Reference or anything you can point me to? I have Marquardt (AOTS) but wonder what this is based on? What you say makes a lot of sense but I was wondering if for these longer the same practice was applicable? The shaped spares (which to carry) would have been set by the current 'establishment' and would have been determined from experience of ships over many years based on 'wear and tare', storm damage and battle damage etc. I am just exploring whether a slightly adapted allotment of spare spars may have been issued for these sorts of exploration expeditions? Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Pat -
Hi all, Now that I am approaching the end of my Endeavour (circa 1770) build and adding some of the 'detail' I am questioning the shape and length of the spare spars that would have been carried. As these were spares for multiple tasks I think these may not have been shaped (tapered) but rather carried as rounded blanks? can anyone shed any light on this topic please? cheers Pat

Another congrats Druxey; I am sure it will sell well - I have earmarked as a Cristmas present 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.
