    Nice work Greg. Those figures bring the Bridge to life, a great inclusion. cheers Pat

    And a very useful one. I wonder how well that rope sets? It look like it would not unravel at all. cheers Pat

    Hi from Melbourne Alex. Welcome aboard and let me also say what a beautiful model you are building. I am also interested in ships of this era so will follow you build with some interest. cheers Pat

    Ditto Rick's comments; that ocean looks great even before you planned additional work Rob. cheers Pat
  5. BANYAN
    Great news Keith, I am happy to hear of Maggie's recovery; that will also be a great weight off your mind. cheers Pat

    Very nice work and level of detail in those 3D printed funnels Greg. Looks really nice. cheers Pat

    Thanks Jerry, it produces a great result, super clean finish. cheers Pat

    Those laser cut 'ironwork' pieces look very authentic Chuck, that is so nicely done. cheers Pat

    She is looking great, very nicely presented Ian. cheers Pat

    I agree Greg. I am sure the old salts also had some apprehension with the introduction of plastic kits, or manufactured brass parts? cheers Pat
  11. BANYAN
    Sorry to hear this news Keith; my thoughts are with you. I hope Maggie has a full recovery. cheers Pat

    Nice prints Jerry; I may have missed this, but what material are you using (resin/filament)? cheers Pat

    And note the warm clothing in the MIDDLE of SUMMER - yikes. It has been one of those seasons down this a-way. BTW, nice carving Steven. cheers Pat

    Paul, if lines were bent to the sheer poles, this would probably have been done using the tails of the line. The excess would first have been made up into coils, a length of the tail end then wrapped around the coils on their upper end, forming a sort of eye, through which the tail will have been passed. The length of the tail will have been long enough to form at least a clove hitch by which to bend it to the pole, but probably a little more to allow a constrictor hitch, or safety turns in addition to a clove hitch. However, if carelessly/haphazardly bent to the pole, this could also have led to several of these made-up coils dangling and swinging freely if the pole was fitted much higher than the cap/roughtree rail. This would have imposed a significant hazard for the crew when stepping into the ratlines? This could be somewhat mitigated by bending them onto, or even around the shroud, near where the poles crossed them, leaving the parts between the shrouds clear to access/step-on? Hope this helps? cheers Pat

    I would hardly say 'suffering through the build' Glen; I have enjoyed every second of it; especially when you keep building these interesting and well executed projects. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    That is one nice diorama Glen, you may not be a florist but I think you could give Bonsai a fair old shake cheers Pat

    You have done a superb job on this model Eberhard; such great detail at the scale you use. I know that term is overly used, but in thios instance well and truly deserving. I have enjoyed the voyage. thanks. Pat
  18. BANYAN
    A wonderful display Rob, she looks great in her final home. Congratulations on an excellent build. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Great work! I especially like the open boat, it looks so life-like. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Druxey, at least you recognized them, I was perplexed until the hint given by the more observant FlyingFish. cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Thanks for the info Eberhard. In hindsight, and as I am working at a larger scale, do you think drafting linen might work?
  22. BANYAN
    Oh so true! cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    I love this model Steven, especially in her quasi-diorama - a very nicely displayed model. Hopefully you won't accidently catch one of those protruding corners in her new home? cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Those gripes/sea lashings look so good Eberhard, very nicely done. Now I have something to try and emulate for the Victoria's boats Can I be so bold as to ask for a link to that material for making them? cheers Pat

    Hi Ron, I have a Sherline mill also. That chuck usually comes with a draw bar (threaded on one end and a bolt type head) that you put in from the top of the spindle assembly. I partially engage the thread of the draw bar into the chuck bore, give it a tap or two with a small rubber mallet (small hammer will work also) which usually disengages the tapered (morse) chuck head. If you don't have the draw bar, putting a metal rod of suitable OD down into the spindle bore and tapping that should also work, BUT put a rag or something under the chuck so that if it dislodges completely, it will fall onto a padded surface and not damage the cross-table or the chuck etc. The rod could be one of the many different bars/rods provided by Sherline, but should be a smaller OD than the bore, but bigger than the internally threaded bore in the top of the chuck (so that you don't drive the bar into this and damage the thread). I hope that resolves the issue for you. 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.
