    Nice job on those braces Steven, they came up a treat - they look very symmetrical. cheers Pat
  2. BANYAN
    Glen, are you sure you haven't confused this with another site? Just askin..... Pat
  3. BANYAN
    That's always the way isn't it Glen? Probably natures way of ensuring we don't get to complacent I suppose Anyways perhaps worth another tot? Now where is that keg? cheers Pat
  4. BANYAN
    Wow Glen, that is very nice work at any scale let alone at the eye-watering scale you are working with. I think that deserves a double 'tot'. cheers Pat

    I haven't commented on this build earlier Greg, but i have been lurking and watching this build come together. You have become a real whiz with PE; some really nice detail you're adding in this (re)build. cheers Pat

    Nice work Vlad; looking good. Not too far to go now. cheers Pat

    Oh you guys! You lot have it all wrong - it is Aus that is on the right side of the sphere; not strange at all See told ya: Why sit indoors, be cold and all rugged up to celebrate Christmas? The above picture from Keith A says it all (well except for a celebratory drink in hand). While I am on the subject, for years you guys have also got it all wrong WRT Santa's sleigh. It wasn't flown with reindeers, but rather with 'boomers' (yeah the sound they make when they bounce off the ground ); the only problem is they end up making for a lot more road maintenance BTW Keith, turkey on the Barbie is 'delicious' mmmm mmm. cheers Pat

    Very nice work Glen, really starting to come together now. I think the turned down leading rails also look the part - good choice. cheers Pat

    Thanks Mark and Bruce, appreciate your kind comments. Keith (LOL), love the out-of-the-box thinking. Also helps with mixing the nightly cocktail I feel I am getting better each day, and once I have finished all the delayed Spring chores and summer maintenance, I hope to devote much more time to the model - hopefully very early in the new year. In the meantime I am still tinkering with how to make those tops 'come-together' and sorting out some much neglected fixes in the workshop (mainly dust collection). cheers Pat

    Thanks for good wishes Keith B, Keith A and John, much appreciated. It was a light dose John but it has had some lingering effects WRT lethargy Pushing through that seems to help - have to avoid sitting down in the 'gobble-up' chair in the afternoons or I find myself dozing. Now to get on top of these darn 'tremors' - sometimes I spread more glue over the desk than on the piece. cheers Pat
  11. BANYAN
    LOL - love this banter - and, of course your skills on display in the build Glen cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    Those figures and the ballista will really set the upper deck off Ian; looking forward to see them in situ eventually. cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    Good to hear the first one went well mate; best wishes for a successful second op. Watch out though, the improved clarity may show some things you would prefer not to see (like wrinkles etc) cheers Pat

    Thanks Rob, much appreciated. Updates are slow as just as I was getting back into it I came down with Covid (first time) and now trying to catch up on all the spring chores before Christmas. I hope to be up to speed and back into the workshop after Christmas. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Great progress Glen (wish I could report the same). Neat solution to connecting the hulls but still able to pass through the mouth of the bottle. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Good luck with the eye surgery, as you say quite a routine thing these days. Hope the recovery is fast and brings the desired results. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    A great, and very interesting, concept for this build Glen; another exciting project to follow. I'll be right up in the front stalls with my popcorn and will do my best not to spill any onto the project cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    Coming on very nicely Steven. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Astounding detail at that scale Eberhard, the additional detail you are fitting brings the model to life. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Some great progress Ian, and glad to hear you are enjoying this part of the build. I also like that idea for the eagle decoration; it would really set things off. Are your figures going to be articulated to allow movement with the oars? (sorry may have missed this) cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Thanks for looking in and kind comments Keith. You are right, with a little hindsight I agree that there are a couple of solutions for the bending jig. The biggest issue is being able to bend the full length of the lip in one effort. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Nice job on that cannon mate, looks very good. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Not 100% sure, but that description sounds very much like the 4-jaw chuck for Sherline? Also, not sure if that is self-centering - I think they have both versions? Someone with a bit more knowledge of the technical attributes may be able to confirm or eliminate this as an option? cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    The rigging is coming along really nicely mate; good job! cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    That's great John, very nice to see the progress. As Druxey says, it will also be nice to see regular updates on the restoration project if it goes ahead. 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.
