    Hi Rob, not too far off. I have been sidetracked with a lot of research on the rigging, getting the "honey please do and Christmas to do lists done and... You get the idea I think too many things to do and not enough hours. I am currently working on completing the broadside guns. Thanks for looking in. cheers Pat

    Thanks for the feedback Keith, I had been wondering why the gratings were there also, probably serving more as 'duckboards'? I have decided, based on costs and type of type of work I need to do in the future, to purchase a few more Sherline WW collets (to widen my range of collets) rather than go the ER32 route. Anything greater than 8mm can be chucked, and taking your advice I will invest in a better dial indicator for centring in my 3 and 4 jaw chucks. It was a close run thing between purchasing the additional (I think much overpriced Sherline WW collets) and buying a new ER32 Chuck and full set of collets - time will tell I followed your technique with making the eyebolts with great interest and have tucked that aside for future use . I am busy finishing the broadside guns etc at the moment and will post an update soon. cheers Pat

    An interesting problem (WRT the gratings) Keith; I'm sure no one is going to mic the 'openings' and who is to say they were made exactly to size anyway? Are these built in gratings or lift-out panels made the traditional way? At first glance I thought the cap rail formed part of the platform structure but I then noticed the photos shows they are under the rail hence having to do them first. regards Pat

    Nice 'toy' and very acceptable results Eberhard. Quite an interesting concept for producing very small wood partss. cheers Pat

    I use this method also - picked the tip up here on MSW cheers Pat

    Two good news stories. Is that 'tin' still intact after all that kikin' cheers Pat

    Very nice detail in the painting Steven, if it holds up that well under macro/close photography then it would great to the naked eye. cheers Pat

    Tedious but will pay dividends to the final look Ben - nice work on the planking. cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    They must have carried a lot of 'Brasso' on board Very nice work Keith, those strut supports look very good, as does the masses of other metalwork you're creating. cheers Pat

    Nice recovery on the bulwark cap rails Keith, very effective. cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN

    You did a very nice job on this build Dashi, congratulations on completing her (to this point) cheers Pat

    Nice concept Mark; I like the bread n' butter approach and shows the benefits of having a laser cutter. cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    WOW ! I need say no more. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Impressive work Keith. While you are at it can I order another 100 at 1:72 cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Very nice painting detail Steven; and welcome to the 'shaky hands' club cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Dr PR, you may be referencing 'chocks'? Also, I am wondering if it may be a misprin=t and actually referring to 'gun spikes' used to help train the gun? cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Looks good Dan and thanks for the feedback and tips. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Could she have carried a small boat up there? or perhaps a painters plank? However, these maybe out of character with the rest of the vessel and the 'patch up a more palatable solution. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    I had the pleasure of seeing this model first-hand last night and the detail is exquisite! Looks even better than the high quality shown in the photographs. Cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    I get an education from simply following your posts Eberhard. Many thanks Cheers Pat

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.
