    And... we're off and running. Looking forward to your log as you progress this unusuall PS Keith cheers Pat
  2. BANYAN
    Been there having experienced the same issue Dave. Thankfully it has abated now; good luck with defeating the problem. cheers Pat
  3. BANYAN
    A great result, and excellent work on this SIB model Glen, my first thought was 'Oh my singed whiskers' - that would have been 'warm work' in the bow. Can't wait to see what idea you generate for your next extravaganza. cheers Pat
  4. BANYAN
    Ditto, some great detail in such a small model. cheers Pat
  5. BANYAN
    A quirky but interesting vessel indeed Keith; should make into a very interesting model. If it is an opening, it could be simply be a vent (covered with some form of grill/netting) for a direct drive engine mounted between the paddles within that box extension? cheers Pat
  6. BANYAN
    Another nicely executed detail Ilhan. cheers Pat
  7. BANYAN
    That is stunning work Ilhan. Very precise joinery and metal smithing at that scale. cheers Pat
  8. BANYAN
    Well that's a relief Glen, I can ease off on the 'pucker' factor' now Great job and excellent description on how to get the job done, football distractions aside. lets hope some of those reflections still show once yopu add the waves etc. cheers Pat

    In my proposal for a 'cool safe' I mentioned seeing these on some Murray River (Victoria/NSW, Australia) paddle steamers. Here are two photos of PS Adelaide I took some years back with a cool safe on the roof of her fore cabin structure. I also found one on the 'net' in a BLOG about Murray River paddle steamers (but failed to not the blog - sorry), and a close-up of a cool safe that was advertised on a local auction site. I hope these are useful Keith. As I mentioned in a PM to Keith, I have seen these in a more ovalised/rounded shape also but cannot find a photo. One 'fly in the ointment' though, note the shape and colour of the navigation light pole on the wheelhouse roof. Maybe a potential candidate also (although a little smaller and less symmetrical in shape than you show). cheers Pat

    Thanks again, I will take note of that as it is a skill I still wish to acquire (I simply draw up my requirement and someone else does my PE - It will be useful to do myself if needed in the future.) cheers Pat
  11. BANYAN
    I have assumed the appropriate level of 'pucker factor' and eagerly awaiting the outcome of your intrepid operation Glen. perhaps a good dose of the naval rum (medicinal of course) would help steady the hands? cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    Thanks again Ilhan, sorry I should have checked. cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    Stunning work Ilhan, how did you cut those brass rings so neatly - scribing? cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    Keith, the mystery object on the wheelhouse roof ma (or may not) be a 'cool safe' for storing vegetables and sometimes meat? I know that some of our Murray River paddle driven boats/ships had them there. I'll have a quick look to see if I can find my source again (but please don't hold your breath while waiting - may not be able to find it again). cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Looks great Glen. Might I suggest a couple of dangling lines and blocks as a result of parted rigging due to all those canon ball holes through the sails? Sorry mor work, and may interfere with your lifting mechanism when in the bottle - just a suggestion. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Couldn't agree more mate. A well made 'solid' machine instead some of these mostly plastic offerings like 'choppers', some bench saws and the like just don't feel right. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Every time you post these wonderful machines you have created you give me a severe case of 'tool envy' Eberhard. Nice work on both. cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    Glen, looks good and the grate certainly gives the right impression. @Keith Black where do you find those pics - love it. If you can, can then ...
  19. BANYAN
    A tip-of-the-hat to you Rob, that looks great! cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    A tribute to your patience and 'left-of-field' solutions Glen, quite the outcome you have achieved. cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    That's looking pretty good Dave, you should end up with a very neat and precise outer planking. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Looks good Richard. Why not use the copper one? cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    That is impressive work Ilhan, there appears to be some commonality between some of the fittings between your build and mine. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Late to the party also Keith, please excuse my tardiness. Will be following along with great interest as it looks quite an interesting vessel to model. Despite your choice as it looked an easier build, I think there will still be enough to challenge you. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Glen, your build has gone on for a little while with no suggests (where are you Keith B?). Noting the theme of this build can I dare to hope to see a couple of 'pirate' penguins, perhaps one with an eye patch and the other with a peg "flipper" Long shot over the bow! 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.
