    It takes a brave man to admit defeat, but you gave it a really good effort mate. Look forward to seeing that addition. cheers Pat
  2. BANYAN
    This is building into an exceptional diorama Greg. The figurine painting skills you show are top-notch. cheers Pat

    Great milestone Glen, one which I thinks not only deserves that drink BUT also an extra Rum Issue (break out the Bundy). All looks great, nice job! cheers Pat

    Hi Keith, OK, I'll be the "stick in the mud" . To me, while I agree about the aesthetics of the issue (ruins/denigrates the lines of that beautiful hull), I tend to model my subjects true to the period/time I have selected for the model. If you have selected 'as built' then leave them off, but if you have selected a more current time, and they were fitted at that time, then I would include them. In the end though, the decision is yours, and you have to live with it. Enjoying your build, which is coming along as nicely, if not better than you previous high quality builds. cheers Pat

    Very nice work Keith, she is coming along very nicely. If there isn't too much (boxes, shelves and hanging tools) on the walls, would a couple of simple hinge-up (kept open with a stick ) windows/opening be suitable to show off some of the interior? They could be small and allow some ventilation/cooling with a cross-flow in real life, while allowing more glimpses of those very nicely crafted engines in the model? Gotta watch those slip hazards mate; hope all is good. cheers Pat

    Agree, so close to a pier (solid - not open with piles) that any speed on the vessel will create a pressure wave which in effect will serve to push the vessel back off the pier. Slow speeds in shallow water are also a necessity other wise the stern will sit (be sucked) down. Also agree that the postures of the crew (and the seagulls) do not support a vessel at speed (sufficient to create such a splash). If anything ripples rather than splash? Would you (the crew) also be wanting to disturb such contaminated water with such a splash? Sorry if this all sounds 'negative' but it is such a wonderful diorama, that I believe that it should not be open to later criticism if entered for judging, if the story does not reflect the scene? cheers Pat

    Sorry to hear, its bad enough having the back pain yet alone not being able to do much modelling Hope things improve rapidly for you Pat
  10. BANYAN
    Great progress, and a major milestone achieved John. Those sails are looking good. cheers Pat
  11. BANYAN
    What a stunning finish Keith, worth every one of those 14 coats. cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    What a great touch; some very 'noice' detail you are adding to this model Greg. cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    She looking great Keith, some lovely detailing there. I am enjoying watching her progress - the yard supervisor must be happy with the build cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    It's always good to take a break and simply soak in your accomplishments. You've done a grand job with her so ENJOY cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Stunning work Ilhan, that looks terrific. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    A bit of both is my guess Haiko. I have seen/heard pictures and discussions where the decks were put in and the hatches cut in later (with the deck fully planked or roughly left vacant in the hatch area but still needing to be cut to size if that makes sense), and where the deck plank were put in around the hatch coaming. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Nice work on the jibs John, she will be a great looking model when you finish your restoration. cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    A very effective outcome Greg; looks great - a top-notch diorama. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    You're doing a great job with that rigging Bob, coming along very nicely. The supervisors must be happy? My biggest issue with tools is that 'I am a neat freak' and I store everything away as soon as I finish with it, often forgetting just where . It sometimes takes me longer to find 'that' tool than doing the job. cheers Pat

    Sorry to hear about your back problems Vossie, best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. Makes you wonder why some of these companies do not pack their items better. I understanding making savings where possible, but packaging is one area that proper packing would negate the costs of replacements etc. Hope it all is still in alignment? cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Best wishes for a quick recovery Keith, sorry to hear about the bung wing. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Hi Haiko, I'm a bit of a late comer to your build party, apologies mate. Your build to date looks great, a nicely aligned skeleton and the planking is going on very well. Look forward to seeing you progress. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    That is looking really good Keith; just the right amount of grime. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Hi Eberhard, this may be excuse you need to get that 3D printer you have hinted at cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    That is some excellent work mate. Those thimble are just the right size, look good and the served line looks very realistic for a newly served line/rope. 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.
