    Neat solution to the spacing of the steps Dashi, I used a spacer which got a little messy at times. Looking good. cheers Pat

    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

    Great to see you back Dave, she is looking grand! Very neat work mate. cheers Pat

    Very nice Chuck, that tick-jig will make life a lot easier cheers Pat

    Some major milestones achieved Mark; looking good. Keep nibbling away at each major process step and eventually you will get there cheers Pat

    Thanks Jason. That's an interesting fact Greg, wasn't aware of that. cheers Pat

    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

    Very nice work Dashi; the hull doesn't look too shabby at all. cheers Pat

    A nice little collection of boats mate cheers Pat

    Hi again folks, Well it's time to provide an update. These photos show progress as of today, and will remain in this state for 5 weeks while I am travelling. I have temporarily stored her on her display stand inside the display case to try and keep some dust off. I have now completed most of the yards but I need more line for the remaining running rigging (especially braces etc) which I will sort on my return. Starting to show her final configuration. The display stand has a copy of Cook's actual chart of the east coast of Australia which is mostly hidden unfortunately. The plan is to mount the name/build plates in a 30 degrees off vertical position with one plate showing either side using a block of the same wood from which the base is made. this will be positioned ahead of the ship on the centre line and i will put the two remaining boats, one under sail, and the other on the yardarm tackles (main and for) just to display them differently. I am going to use an idea that Druxey used for his hospital barge (I hope you don't mind Druxet?) and mount the boat under sail on tall thin acrylic posts so that her waterline aligns with the ship's water line. the starboard anchor will also be rigged as if just hoisted to the cathead. cheers Pat

    Great detailing Greg; especially the semaphores. that ruler in the last shot puts it all in perspective. cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    Very nice Chuck, this will be another excellent model. cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    Glad it's you and not me trying this at such a micro scale Piet. Did you try gluing up on wax (grease paper for cooking) as it won't stick to that I think. I do my gluing up on a glass plate, again for easy removal. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Nice work Mark; she's coming along really nicely. Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Might have been a bit of a delay in updates Alex, but well worth the wait to see this excellent model again. Great work, clean, crisp joinery and workmanship. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Great detail Greg. Boy are you moving along, I getting dizzy just following cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    Thanks Chris, yep it is 61; interesting they also bring it down. Unfortunately for my rigging plan, I have been following the AOTS whom utilise these shroud cleats in a different sequence and it is already taken up. More to ponder. Appreciate your input, very useful. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    You like to set yourself a challenge don't you Piet? That base is looking great, pity about the glass though. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    This will be a spectacular ship model when completed Cristie; great work! cheers Pat

    The current netting looks great for scale Sjors, and Anja has done a great job fitting it. If the black does not work out, and you cannot live with the white, you could try to dye the white a darker colour (deep tan) in-situ with a paint brush loaded with the dye? Careful application should result in a neat finish and as the rails/stanchions are black you run minimal risk of discolouration of other parts. Just a thought. cheers Pat

    Another tantalising update Eberhardt - I have stocked up on the tissues so ready for the main installments That knurling tool does a great job. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Thanks Mark and Frankie; much appreciate your responses. I have rechecked the AOTS (by Marquardt also) and again all that is said is "belays at Top" - so I think I will go with that - saves me a bit of rigging also . Frankie, that is a good solution; I will see if I can achieve that as it is a bit fiddle to reach in there but I should be able to do it. Many thanks again Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Thanks Dave and Greg, I will need to order some of these. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Thanks again to all the likes and comments; the encouragement sure helps with big decisions like this. Popeye, I won't tell anyone about the sheet lines if you don't . Thanks for the comment re the finish, but the photos hide some of it - they really do need a "cut and polish"; especially close to the iron work as evidenced in photo 4. cheers Pat

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.
