    Hi all, There is also an interesting paper by Mark Staniforth on the subject at: http://www.academia.edu/358814/The_Introduction_and_Use_of_Copper_Sheathing_-_A_History - you have to signup to download the pdf but it is free; and the article can be read online without signing up. he also has some other interesting topics. cheers Pat

    Now that will be one very nice model when made up. Thanks for the extra pics; shows off this little lady's lines very nicely. cheers Pat

    Hi Kier, the rabbet is not a scary beast Simply, it should be the depth to accommodate both layers. However, this does not mean twice as deep as usually the first layer is much thicker than the second layer. This second layer is usually just a veneer and very thin. So just make it as deep as the two combined. lay the first layer and there should be a very thin fall about the thickness of the veneer. cheers Pat

    That looks great; and side or front/bow views? the error is probably evident to you but I cannot see it cheers Pat

    Your a brave man Jason; taking a file to such small detail details requires good nerves and steady hands - but, the result is excellent and looks a lot better - well done mate. That stern will look so much nicer with all you attention to detail. cheers Pat

    Not necessarily so Ken, for me at least, once I have conceptualised what it is I need to make, I find it is far easier in the workshed. Using your virtual creations you can experiment with copies of each piece and break them into manageable parts. I am in the very early stages of learning 3D just for this very purpose. Nice work on the virtual modelling; look forward to seeing it all come together. cheers pat

    Slow but steady will get you there Coming along very nicely. cheers Pat

    So, all these bits and bobs will sit on the wood things you walk on, which fit to the tub that keeps it afloat then .... Nice work! cheers Pat

    Great to see you back and obviously refreshed from your holidays Glenn. That is a great technique you came up with for the tarred roof, looks very authentic. The model looks great and is a testament to your skills. cheers Pat

    Seems you have resolved it quite nicely Dave; good bones = good body they say cheers Pat

    Welcome to the Endeavour club Rexy; I am sure you will enjoy this build and it appears you have made a great start. Plenty of build logs on the site to get ideas and resolve issues. cheers Pat

    I wish I had seen that traveller ring before I tried making one Chuck, far superior than the one I made. I wish I has your forethought to think ahead, but alas my bowsprit had already been assembled and I would have caused more issues trying to fit it. I will order a couple though, they are great looking travellers (and hooks). I did utilise your plastic ones in areas on low stress, and they worked a treat. cheers Pat

    JP, I purchased the MM feather boards for use with my Jim Byrnes say. The bars were not the right fit for the mitre slots so I simply replaced the bars (can't think of the correct term at the moment) from some spares I had. You could easily make them from hardwood, add a little wax for slide, install a bolt from underneath in a countersunk hole(s), at the appropriate point(s) so that it clears the top of the featherboard, and then add a washer and wing nut (the botlt etc from the MM featherboard can be utilised for this) - Voila As the feather boards have a slot pre-cut, this makes them easy to adapt to other mitre slot bars. If, like me you have a spare, unused or another bar from something you can sacrifice, the job is already done and you will have something that precisely fits your mitre slots.. cheers Pat

    The left/right thingy, and all your other work, is very well done Kishmul, this will be a very nice model when converted from the virtual to metal and wood. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    There are some very fine models shown on this site and yours is amongst the very best Alex, exceptional craftsmanship. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Thanks for explanation of the materials, and the processes you are applying to this build. Great work at such a small (micro) scale. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Thanks OC cheers Pat

    Watch that light at the end of the tunnel Denis, it might be an oncoming train Seriously, with the end in sight you must be pretty happy with this build as it looks great. cheers Pat

    Hi Mike, missed you and welcome back mate. Onto the club build of HMCSS Victoria (see scratch build logs); some progress made but a lot of research still to do. cheers Pat

    Missed your calling Greg; Holden (GM for non-Aussies) would not have shut up shop if you had been their production manager 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.
