    Chris - For soldering paste (silver and copper) I use Australian Jewellers Supplies / House of Jewellery - http://jewellerssupplies.com.au/soldering-welding-c-95.html?__utma=187725425.995140569.1462256671.1462256671.1462256671.1&__utmb=187725425.0.10.1462256671&__utmc=187725425&__utmx=-&__utmz=187725425.1462256671.1.1.utmcsr=google|utmccn=(organic)|utmcmd=organic|utmctr=(not%20provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=163156796 They may have some other things you might need also. Try ringing them; I have found them to be very helpful in determining exactly what you need etc (but unfortunately, they are slightly expensive). As to Birchwood Casey Blackening; I bought a large bottle ( more than a lifetimes supply) from a gun shop in Western Melbourne somewhere at a very reasonable price. If interested I can try and track down the name of the place. cheers Pat

    Nice work Keith, the ornamentations looks great. Glad to see you have come to grips with the positioning and size of the ports. cheers Pat

    Russ, if you had not already thought of/intended to do, a trick the plastic modellers use, is to brush a layer of clear over them to seal and protect them. You just need to ensure it is a non-yellowing clear finish. cheers Pat

    That looks great Russ; lovely detail! cheers Pat

    Very nice work Jason, she is looking great! the batten came up really well. cheers Pat

    All coming along very nicely Dash. Even with the AL kit, bits and bobs were not IAW the required numbers (under and over). I ended up getting a set (PE) of my own hinges. cheers Pat

    Congratulations on the Book Druxey, I am sure it will be another fine addition to many libraries. WRT the oars, the extended display over the baseboard in the rowing configuration looks 'busy' in the photo but may be fine on display - but what about the glass/acrylic case fit? If you stay with the existing base board, then perhaps an approach from left field? Have you considered standing them up vertically behind, or at either end of the boat (drill holes into the base boardand make the case a little taller)? Otherwise my vote would remain with oars tossed even if it hides some of the mast details cheers Pat

    A brave start Mark; gtood luck with these as they look a bit tricky cheers Pat
  9. BANYAN
    A great follow-up on the launches Chuck - she will make a delightful model. cheers Pat
  10. BANYAN
    Agree, too many oars outboard would distract I think; either bundled or standing upright but the latter would not be realistic? cheers Pat
  11. BANYAN
    A big improvement but still fiddly Good luck! cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    Some really nice detail there Keith, and a good choice in going the 'proper' route with the plans. cheers Pat

    Hi Ken, sorry to have missed your log before this as I limit myself to a certain number of builds otherwise i would spend all day on the PC An interesting subject and build you have going; card is an area I have not yet dabbled in so I will pull up a chair and have a closer read from the beginning. cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    Beautiful detail and great craftsmanship Greg. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    You have been busy; quite rapid progress - looking good cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Great detail and some nice soldering there Dave. It seems you are coming to grips with the resistance soldering? cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Some excellent detail there Greg; the checkboard effect of the capstan scotchman looks really good. One milestone down, only a couple to go? cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    I'll take a seat also mate; these engineering exemplars of yours are not only informative but mouth watering results. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Nice work Ulises; that patina looks great and well suited to this style of model. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Looking good mate! cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Great outcome Mark, patience and determination ...I think you have earned an extra tot today cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Outstanding Druxey - great detail at that scale. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Oops, sorry mate just checked myself, it has disappeared. i will get it re-instated. I'll send you a PM in the meantime cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Chris, there is an article in the database that should help you a bit. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    She looks great Ron, end is in sight for you now 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.
