    Nice work Dave and thanks for the pointer to Tom's work, but to find it please? cheers Pat

    Very nice job on the 20mm cannon / guns Greg, even if only a 6 of them, that is very well detailed and came up a treat. cheers Pat

    Nice progress Ulises, those pin racks look good (and solid ) cheers Pat
  6. BANYAN
    That is a great bit of detailing Greg, looks really good and I like the idea you have for hanging a float plane from it. cheers Pat

    Found your log this morning cog; sorry to be late to the show. Looks like another very highly detailed model in the making here. Those turret enhancements look great Make room in the front row for me too please cheers Pat

    I agree with Gunther; whatever you thinks looks best in situ. cheers Pat

    A small update, the frames/temp bulkheads have now been fitted in a basic jig. The longitudinal temp stiffener has yet to be glued and will be done after I straighten a couple of the frames. The eagle eyed will note a couple of frames not quite aligned; some of this is due to camera angle. Gluing in the longitudinal stiffener will help keep them in place vertically, but first I need to fix/redo at least one of the frames. This system works quite well and was well laid out by Dave when he did the artwork as I did not need to do much filing for fit at all. The holes in the temp bulkhead (which will be broken away later) were for a toothpick to pass through to assist with alignment, but at this scale almost impossible to utilise and too fiddly. Sorry all, I forgot the ruler again but this is only about 80mm long (just over 3") overall. cheers Pat

    Persistence pays off Denis, those nets will look great on the model..... and a couple of spares to boot cheers Pat

    Hi and a very Happy New Year Rusty, nice progress. The links work but on PC at least, the thumbnails are not showing? cheers Pat

    Very nice job on those gudgeons Jason; that rudder looks a lot better. That transom is going to look very good when finished and well worth the effort you are putting into it. cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    Wow!!!!!! that is going to be one very nicely detailed model if this is any indication Wefalck. cheers Pat

    Another beautiful model John; she looks great. Particularly nice to see another model that is not mainstream and preserves the history of these vessels. cheers Pat

    Much easier Greg Denis, the idea/concept was developed by Chuck who does this with his small boat series; Dave has just adapted it a little to serve his needs (and the lucky soul has access to a laser cutter) Thanks for all who looked in and gave a 'like" cheers Pat

    Hi again folks; hope you all had a happy and safe festive season. I have made a start on the two remaining boats to complete my build; the yawl and the skiff. I am doing these part-time between the yard chores and HMCSS Victoria. First, I would like to thanks DaveRow who has kindly designed the laser templates and cut the boat templates for his build but provided me with a spare set; many thanks Dave. These are great, and make assembly a lot easier. The template is 0.6mm thick so the keel is a lamination of 4 layers which creates a natural rabbet. The rudder and transom piece are 2 x lamination but the remainder of the pieces will be single. I don't think I would have achieved this level of detail without the template. i will stage a ruler in my next set of shots to give a better idea of scale. cheers Pat

    Great to see you back Remco and to see that lovely model of yours again. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Nice to see you back at this model Wefalck; look forward to seeing her evolve. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    A nice way to close one and open another year Toni, nice progress and the beams look good even without sanding. Always send a bore scope down to look at those details cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    I thought you were told to slow down Dave? Very nice work on that rabbit, very clean cut. I can understand the 4:30 thing - I have got to the point that if I am not asleep within 30 mins of hitting the hay, I get up and write down everything stirring in my head; actually setting to work is another thing though. The beakhead is coming on nicely. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Very nice work Greg and a great first-off new year mini-project. Plenty of detail in those and they have assembled nicely despite the poor instructions. happy New Year! cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Thanks Cristi, same to you. that machine looks very useful for carving/engraving. Much learning to do with the software? cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    You're not mucking around with this one are you That is significant progress in a very short time. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    One of the few positives Ben is that it should go quicker having done it once already. Looking good! 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.
