    Thanks again to all those whom have looked in and "liked' - appreciate you dropping by. Hi Per great to see you drop in; thanks for your very positive comments. The AOTS has been very helpful with this build. It's going to be a very hot summer this year; lucky for us a cooler Christmas as we have some major bushfires just down the road from us on the "Great Ocean Road" with some 120 properties/homes lost already; the cooler weather had allowed the firefighters a little respite to try and control it. Warming up again later this week - we have already had a couple of days in the 4o+ Cel. range - good excuse for a couple of 'frosties' (beers) cheers Pat

    Nice work on the stern Mark; ditto John's remarks. We tend to be harder on ourselves than others and mostly the small issues you identify are only visible under harsh (bright) light and close-up photography - the real thing was probably a lot rougher to the eye than you have produced. cheers Pat

    Hi Greg, another nice build you have going here. I am almost finished my Endeavour, so will get onto my Vampire (1:350) soon - be watching this log for hints and tips for plastic models So, I assume the Sydney next in a nice little diorama? cheers Pat

    Mikie, you might also investigate using a punch and die set such as the one shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m4qaRcmXdU There are several different versions from different companies; some use plastic card, others user a shim metal to create the shapes. These are very realistic finishes but the punch/die sets can be a tad expensive - so you will need to evaluate how often you would use it. cheers Pat

    She's coming along very nicely Dave cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    I can't believe the level of detail you have achieved; truely outstanding quality of work Remco. How does that tube jig work? i am assuming you load a dowel and hand file using this as the template? cheers Pat

  25. BANYAN
    Ditto on the corner posts; the finished effect will look really nice and will be as I recall how it was done on the rebuild of an actual pearler (PAM) I have seen down here in Melbourne. 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.
