    Hi Mindi, Dashi's build log has a good discussion about it. cheers Pat
  2. BANYAN
    Ditto above comments mate, I am enjoying following this build and associated research cheers Pat
  3. BANYAN
    Looking a real treat for the eyes Denis; great work bashing this build. cheers Pat

    Nice progress Mindi, and welcome back to the Endeavour fold Those boats look great and you have now encouraged me to add the masts and sails to at least a couple of mine (I still have the Yawl and Skiff to do) 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
  6. BANYAN
    Hope you enjoyed the holiday mate; welcome back. cheers Pat

    Nice work Mark; sounds like you need a thicknesser cheers Pat

    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

    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

    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
  14. BANYAN
    Looking good Mike, very neat rigging. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Well that the 'ants pants' mate; looks good - ...........and a bel;ated happy birthday. cheers Pat

    Looks good and solid Denis, should work a treat. next time you have to do this try using an alligator clip between the previous (soldered) and new joint as a heat sink - it can be kept out of the way and should wick excess heat before it destroys the previous joint. may be worth a try at least cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Great to see this little beauty back John. cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    Great result from your persistence and efforts Greg; the aerials look great (and those designers can stay in their special room ) What did you use to make the spreaders in the end? cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Is this a model? Looks like the real thing - superb work Karl! cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Slow and steady will get you there Sjors - just look at my 12 years+ for my Endeavour. Nice work BTW cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Amen Gunther; so would I. That was some fine artisan examples of workmanship and skill. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Looking good Denis. Better not let the boss read this - you may go hungry for awihle cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    TLC = Tender Loving care :) cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    The detailing is looking superb Greg; a very fine addition to your miniature fleet. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Nice work and many thanks for passing on your experience Nils. This process will come in very handy for my next build. 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.
