    A major milestone desreves a major celebration - just don't use any powertools until the hangover is gone Well done mate, looks good. 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

    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

    Just found your build log Ken; coming along nicely. cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    Some very nice adaptions there Keith; I might copy a few of those (You haven't patented them yet have you ) cheers Pat

    Just found your build BE - impressive. Nice clean work. I'll pull up a chair if you don't mind. cheers Pat

    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

    G'day Les. I have found those cheaper 'third hand' devices with plain alligator clips not suited to smaller soldering jobs also. I have invested in the GRS rig which jewellers and the like prefer; not cheap but do a much better job. I think it may have been REMCO that also discussed a soldering block which was about 10cm x 10cm or so, and was honeycombed to accept small brass or steel pins which held smaller pieces in situ and you could apply a naked flame to the joint. Can't find the post at the moment but if I do I'll update this post. cheers Pat

    Beautiful work at a miniscule scale Greg; the boats look great. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Same here Greg and Dave - now is the time! cheers Pat

    Wefalck, that is some beautiful workmansip from an obviously talented machinest. Bravo! Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Braver man than me mate; I cut the metal heads off and glued them to the replacement carrick bits (cheating??? ---- nuh ) cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    If that's the basic kit, you have done a great job mate - she looks great! cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Excellent job there Greg; that detail looks really good - love to see this model in the real world as someimes photos just don't do justice and this looks a really nice model. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Good job Ron, still doing mine; port side completed today (lower and upper) - now for the other side. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Mark is probably on the right track, but could I ask where these are in relation to the position of the Cathead? In these ships at that time, some ships had 'whiskers' fitted to the Cathead and these may be related to the lead and securing of the associated rigging? Another option may be that they are the lead and securing for the anchor trip mechanism (on the Cathead) which was commonly fitted during this era. 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.
