    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
  2. BANYAN
    I'll take a seat also mate; these engineering exemplars of yours are not only informative but mouth watering results. cheers Pat
  3. BANYAN
    Nice work Ulises; that patina looks great and well suited to this style of model. cheers Pat
  4. BANYAN
    Looking good mate! cheers Pat

    Chris, there is an article in the database that should help you a bit. cheers Pat

    It's just that you are being honest and posting your 'pick-ups' - many others don't but you can bet we all make them cheers Pat

    Chris I used liquid gloss (two part) which you can get at Spotlight (i think they still have it). Are you doing the central one as a 'false window'? - http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/400-hmb-endeavour-by-banyan-al-160-circa-1768/?p=4039 cheers Pat

    Great work Keith, coming along very nicely. Doing that small scale decoration must be giving you a headache or two huh? cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    Thanks Bob, happy with their use, just did not recognise it at first I'll have a look at that video as paul has some interesting stuff. cheers Pat

    An update, recently went to AFT (post 4) only to find that they had shut down - yet another timber source gone cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Thanks Rick and Gaetan - will need to find one cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Great recovery Ulises, remember the alcohol is for medicinal purposes ..... cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Ah, thats the beastie - many thanks Gaetan. My source is looking around his stuff to see if the block is there. cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    Oh the joys of modelling Ulises - Good luck with the fix, seems you have a solution inmind. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Exceptional, the model looks magnificent and very much enhanced with the very beautifully carved figurehead Igor. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Ahhh! that makes sense, thanks Arthur. cheers Pat

    Hi Ben, you'll have to start feeding that passenger soon, they're nothing but a bag of boners Great to see you've sorted the electrics. A question though. i don't recall if this will be a floating/working model. If so, how will you get the oars to lift out of the water on the forward stroke so that it doesn't counteract the after stroke (propelling forward)? If it is a working static, won't be an issue. I am sure you have some clever system worked out with Arthur. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    looking very good there Russ; those sails have some very fiddly detail - must have been an 'interesting' task cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Beautiful work Druxey, the real hint of your resolve for top quality was highlighted in an earlier post about the tholes where you made almost three times as many as you needed so that you could select only the best. This discipline, and the lesson for us mere apprentices, is only reinforced with the redo rather than trim to size of the frieze. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    A fortune maybe Mark, but then how would you learn to be a 'master' of your trade/craft The rudder looks great and appears to sit hang nicely against the stern post cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Nice to see you started Alan; this should be a great model (if you survive the scares ) 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.
