    A great comparison Rob; clearly shows the different requirements met by the respective designers. Very nice models too! Odd sea pattern under them though - fan blade shaped waves Welcome back to the builders desk - I am still a week or two away while I finish all those house jobs. cheers Pat

    Nice work Steven, a very interesting and well executed build. I have enjoyed the journey. cheers Pat p.s. As much as I tried, I could not see Ron's telepromter!
  3. BANYAN
    An interesting subject for your SIB Glen, and a very unique display base in the form of the sledge (very nicely executed BTW). I look forward to seeing your build at such a small scale. cheers Pat

    Sorry I don't have the expertise to participate but would be an interested 'looker on' Good luck with this endeavour; has the m akings for an excellent book! (hint) - it doesn't have to be commercial endeavour. cheers Pat

    Wow, wow and more wow! cheers Pat

    That's an interesting result; I have not had the need to use Steel for my calculations. Thanks for the head's-up on this. I think you are quite safe in your build decisions unless you run into a 'rivet counter' cheers Pat
  7. BANYAN
    Very nice work on the rudder heads, races, funnels and steering wheel - some very well detailed fine work Brian - take a bow! Those desk tidies certainly help in organising the workspace. cheers Pat

    The skylight came up nicely Eberhard. I had to make similar sized but had mine fully etched in 0.1 mm brass which turned out OK; I am assuming you tried that without success? Wishing you all the best wishes for 2022 cheers Pat
  9. BANYAN
    Back at you all - I hope all have a safe and very happy Christmas. cheers Pat

    Excellent paint job; love it! Nice addition to your collection Greg, adds perspective to the size of these air ships. Have a safe and happy festive season Pat
  11. BANYAN
    That is incredible detail Eberhard; take a bow! cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    A very Merry Christmas, and best wishes for a safe and happy festive season to you and your family also Bitao. Love watching your work. cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    Nicely done Greg. Seasons greetings - have a safe and happy festive season Pat

    Great progress Keith. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Is there any 'manufacturing' problem that has ever stumped you Keith? Ditto above comments - your ingenuity (and quality of work) never fails to amaze! cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Great progress Steven, the build is really coming to life now. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Dave, Allan et al - not sure if you are aware of the 'The Sea Gunners Vade Mecum' by Robert Simmons (1812)? The following is from that reference and I think it is a downloadable pdf (digitised by Google). cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    This is going to one very fine model Rob. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Hi Keith, yep. Basically it is a large clamp to hold several rows of pre-cut (sized appropriately) strip stock with sacrificial pieces on each end/side. Once set-up you can make several hundred at a go depending on how much drilling and milling you wish to do. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Good idea Keith (Aug), can I extend an invitation for you to check my tutorial using your skills ? I only have a few hundred to do Good luck Keith (Black), they are fiddly things - I am in the process of developing a jig to mass produce them based on a system used by some Russian modellers that was posted in MSW Gen 1. cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Agreed re franchises, but they are now talking of further diversifying into larger shops selling electronics and electrical gear also. Please AP, just concentrate on getting deliveries right at a reasonable cost! Sorry to hijack your build, and I'll get off the soap box now cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Greg, HMAS Castlemaine (Bathurst Class) is just down the road from me if you need any visual 'clues' Aussie Post need to start concentrating on improving their core services (delivery times) instead of trying to further diversify - they simply cannot blame covid restrictions any more. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    The tops look great Rob, suits the overall mast colour scheme. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    They look great Eberhard. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Deviate away my friend; I am sure the majority of us find it as fascinating as your excellent building skills. 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.
