    That is one very hard-worked ship Greg. Your weathering techniques at scale show you have a lot of talent (and patience) n this field. A very good looking model of a working-ship mate. cheers Pat
  2. BANYAN
    As always your very crip, clean joinery is an inspiration cheers Pat
  3. BANYAN
    Thanks Ed and Rob, very much appreciate the comments and encouragement. I have a ways to go yet to achieve the same level of quality you guys produce, but learning with every 'mini-project' cheers Pat

    Very nice joinery for that wheel mate; I think you would have given the old masters a run for their money. cheers Pat

    Nice work on the rigging Dave; very tidy indeed. I will also need to try and get hold of some of that timber it looks great and will be nice along side one of my other faves "Tasmanian Myrtle" Enjoy the shore leave mate, but don't follow that band too closely (they simply faded away after showing so much promise.) cheers Pat

    Some nice improvements there Martes. I must admit I am a 'sucker' for good graphics in these styles of games to maintain my interest. A realistic algorithm or two to control ship behaviour and damage inflicted/received are the other two main priorities. cheers Pat

    Thanks Michael, much appreciated cheers Pat

    Looks good Steven; hopefully all continues going well with this redo. The carvings look smoother than before with the pear wood. cheers Pat
  9. BANYAN
    Great idea; inexpensive but effective. cheers Pat
  10. BANYAN
    Thank you very much for the encouragement and comments gentlemen; much appreciated. cheers Pat

    Many thanks Vossie, you seem to have a good 'handle' on all things tools (for ship modelling) You're right about the GRS prices (even on eBay - that is ridiculous) cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    Nice work Martes and thanks for sharing Martes. What are your plans for these? Are you going to make them available as add-ons? You appear to have put a lot of work into these. cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    Thanks for sharing Joe, I will be interested in your final comments as I have been 'dabbling' with more 'manually controlled' methods of repeatability (all too complicated for my liking to date). cheers Pat

    Thanks Dave; appreciate your comments. Some further small updates; I think the photos show all. First is the completed (minus firehose/rack) of the Downton Pump area; then the foredeck with chain blackened, and the funnel with its stay chains and finally the painted purchase winches. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    That looks pretty good Steven; as you say at this scale it is very acceptable. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    I am glad to hear I am not the only one Keith - I find that having just become proficient with a tool, jig or technique, I then put that aside until the next model by which time I have to relearn a lot of it again. I am envious of those who can master these things and simply step back into the process without issues. BTW I like the stops, mic adjuster etc fitted to your Byrnes saw, have you covered these in another forum as I would be interested in learning more about them. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    Nice adaption using the vise Vossie. What brand and model is the vise? (sorry if you mentioned this earlier) cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    As with everything you do Gaetan, you strive for the highest standard you can achieve; your dedication certainly shows in the quality of your models (and photography) - impressive. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Very nice work Greg, you are showing some excellent detail (and talent) with this model. Those nets must have severely restricted ship's speed when deployed? cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    You've made some significant progress G.L.; it is all looking very good. You must be close to finishing now? cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Some good progress made there Steven. I will be quite interested in how yo age these 'filler repairs', have you any ideas on that yet? cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    To echo Druxey - Magnificent! That rigging is a masterpiece of execution. I very much look forward to your next volume of the series. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Glacial or not, you have still achieved some significant progress and it is looking very good. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    A very nicely faired hull Keith; this will certainly give you the nice solid base for the planking you were after. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Nice design Dave; that will be a very nice case - what is the wood BTW (or did I miss that)? 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.
