    Great work Mark, she is looking good. An interesting observation is that the bigger the pile in the scrapbox, usually the better the quality the build as this gem is showing. cheers Pat

    When Murphy is on holiday I find hat his mate "sod" takes over You have had your fair share of trials and tribulations on this one Greg, Hope you sacked that idiot Good work on the recovery (both) that will have required quite a bit of dexterity an patience to fix the crows nest. She is looking good mate! cheers Pat

    I had the pleasure to see this gem of a model and catch up with Danny recently. The photos do not do this model true justice; the workmanship and detail are superb. It was a great pleasure to meet Danny and put a face to the name; a true gentleman always willing to share his experience! cheers Pat

    That is some very nice work Piet; some of us mere mortals couldn't achieve that at the normal working scales. cheers Pat

    Very nice work Greg, you must have a good catalogue of suppliers Vs parts by now; you seem to be able to source everything you need? cheers Pat

    Still away for some time Greg, be a while before I am back at the slipway. Great catching up. cheers Pat

    Great progress Mark, she is really taking some definition now. I like your mill set-up, you can keep some great control of the cuts/passes with that and the result is proof of the pudding. Wat cutters do you use (manufacturer); that ball cutter seems very effective. The cheap one I have just does not pass muster. cheers Pat

    Just one word comes to mind - BEAUTIFUL Great work Gaetan! cheers Pat

    Mate you are the skipper of this ship so you can paint your boats any which-way you like The launch looks great. cheers Pat

    That mast looks great Greg and is a testament to your persistence to get it right. Great pity you couldn't assemble off-model but the result is very nicely detailed. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Nice work with the plating Jason, that will provide a nice run of plates across the hull with a great result. cheers Pat

    Neat solution to the spacing of the steps Dashi, I used a spacer which got a little messy at times. Looking good. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Some great rigging and fittings there Dave. Agree it is a good time to permanently fit the bowsprit etc; but, from experience be very aware of it - I don't know how many times I knocked it cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    Great to see you back Dave, she is looking grand! Very neat work mate. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Very nice Chuck, that tick-jig will make life a lot easier cheers Pat

    Great to see you resolved ll of your PC issues Glenn. The progress and work is great; made my day cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Some major milestones achieved Mark; looking good. Keep nibbling away at each major process step and eventually you will get there cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Thanks Jason. That's an interesting fact Greg, wasn't aware of that. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Hi all, many thanks to all for looking in, the likes and comments. A couple of quick responses as I get on the road today Keith - not quite finished, still the fore top gallant spar, some rigging, fitting the small bits and pieces (e.g. deadlights, quarter shutters, swivel guns etc) - but not far off John, yes very impressive charting. Until relatively recently, some of the reef charts were still his original work which reflects on the quality of his surveying and navigation, and the trust placed in him by the Admiralty. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Very nice work Dashi; the hull doesn't look too shabby at all. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    A nice little collection of boats mate 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.
