    Many thanks Tim, while for modern yachts/boats this may well apply. I have not yet found anything in Peake, Kipping or Fincham whom were the most prolific naval-architect qualified authors writing in the 19th century. cheers Pat

    Hi Tim, I was not aware of any rules of thumb so I have been educated (thanks) - do you recall where you found this? I would also be interested if the rule also included some guidance on the size of the throat/centre bit in relation to the horns'. I am building a mid-19th century ship and would be grateful on any guidance you find/mentioned here. In the meantime, if I find anything I will post here. cheers Pat

    Ah, now she really starts to show her lines. Coming on nicely Rob. cheers Pat

    A great trophy for the club and a well executed half model, beautifully presented Mark. Take a bow and all due kudos. cheers Pat

    Thanks for the b'day wishes Kevin and Carl, much appreciated. Officially a pensioner now, will have to take a visit to 'Chelsea' Unfortunately, while the weather was reasonable, the restrictions still in place prevented more than two visitors at a time, so it was a 'staggered' family occasion spread over the weekend - most enjoyable though. Now back to the shed/workshop. cheers Pat

    Thanks for the educational approach provided in your build log Druxey. You have built yet another very nice model that is both inspirational and something of beauty. cheers Pat
  7. BANYAN
    You're doing a much better job that I could aspire to Mark. If this is what you do with your eyes crossed, well what would you achieve if .... cheers Pat
  8. BANYAN
    All the best for a quick and speedy FULL recovery Michael. I think we all need to take that break every so often, but not with such extenuating circumstances. cheers Pat
  9. BANYAN
    That hull is starting to look really good Rob; it shows the benefits of all that research you have done, such as the stem profile etc. cheers Pat
  10. BANYAN
    Congratulations on this build Bitao, it is a fine example of well executed joinery and quality craftsmanship. regards Pat
  11. BANYAN
    Nice photos and good progress Brian; looks like the adult beverages provided some incentive cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    Good use of your local products Michael; wish I had access to wood as easily as that. The frames look like they curve and conform to the plug quite well. cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    Very nice work on both the oars and the faux burle Druxey. You say you got lucky but me thinks some experience coming through here Did you use a jig to replicate the blades etc? cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    Thanks for the encouragement Rob, still at a slow pace but hopefully can pick that up soon. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Now starting to show her true lines Rob. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    A 'splendid' job (sorry couldn't help myself) Patrick, another wonderful miniature you are creating. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Looks good Mark; a much better job than I could achieve. cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    Thanks for the encouragement Keith; hopefully something to show on the rigging soon. Thanks for looking in and kind comments Jason, appreciated. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Great job on the sails Steven, as Druxey points out, remarkable definition considering the weave of the material. Good luck with the woldings on the foremast; perhaps using a curved needle (sacking/suture or the like) might assist? cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Thanks Ed, your comments are much valued and appreciated. Slowly getting there, I am surprised how long it is taking me to finalise the rigging plan cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Very neat work on those rabbets Michael, very crisp and clean. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Thanks for looking in and kind comments Mark, Keith and Druxey; much appreciated. I am about to tackle the flag locker and a few remaining very minor fittings (Lead's man stanchions and belt, Fish davit etc.); I will then do a photo stack image of the full upperdeck to ensure all is in focus. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    There's only one phrase to repeat, and repeat, for your work - stunning work! cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Lovely work as usual Karl; looks great. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    A little more progress folks; some dusting, removal of glue (when properly dry) etc still to do but here is the result for the Gallows and Belfry. In hindsight, I wish I had not secured the Elliott riding bitts in place as they need to be a little more forward, but in reality there is still room to work the cable around them if needed. I couldn't move the gallows further aft as I have to preserve room/space for the capstan bars when fitted. I still have to add the simulated bolt heads on the legs of the belfry. The bit of brass at the top is a breather pipe. The tank is 3D printed resin airbrushed with Mr. Metal 'iron'; although not clear, the bit bottom central is a cock for drawing fresh water which I think should no be at the back - too late now though. Sorry the challenge was not taken up re fitting a bell rope - the thing was just to small. I could not drill a small enough hole in the clapper's end without the drill bit wandering around (only 0.3mm end below the round part). I may end up just gluing a bit of twisted cotton (3 colours) on there. 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.
