    Hi Rob, I am just catching up after getting back from my 4 weeks in the UK. Some great progress there despite the trials and tribulations - and am very happy to hear the hand is almost better. cheers Pat
  2. BANYAN
    Just back from 4 weeks in the UK Gary and I am impressed with the progress you have made; looking great! cheers Pat
  3. BANYAN
    Ditto Maury's comment Chuck, there is no comparison with the older mass produced kits. Kudos! cheers Pat
  4. BANYAN
    Seems you have these boat skeletons all sorted in the death star now Mark? Looking good! cheers Pat
  5. BANYAN
    Just catching up after my month in the UK and it looks like you have been making some very nice progress Greg. I'll look in a bit closer soon. cheers Pat

    Some nice progress there Dashi, just catching up after a month away - wil have a closer look later. cheers Pat

    Just back and catching up Carl, nice to see you have got those dockyard guys moving again. cheers Pat
  8. BANYAN
    Thanks mate
  9. BANYAN
    Very nice John, a great looking frame on which to plank. A very interesting subject to model. cheers Pat
  10. BANYAN
    Superb detail and very appropriate for an owner selecting this type of design. Nice work Patrick. cheers Pat
  11. BANYAN
    Looks really good Steven. WRT the iron braces, is the design based on something you have 'unearthed' in your research? If not, and probably too late, would a triangular horizontal gusset (on each iron strap), have added extra strength for the longitudinal and lateral forces experienced when ramming? cheers Pat
  12. BANYAN
    That is a good stage of the build Pat as you rapidly see progress with the addition with each bit of detal. Looking good! cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    Nice to see you back in the yard Carl, nice work on this little beauty cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    Nice mini-fleet - quite detailed for their size. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Sorry cannot help with info / ID as this is outside my era of ship building knowledge - I hope someone can help you. That said, it has been nicely constructed. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Good Tip. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    VERY nice work Mark. cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    What a wonderful journey you have taken us on Ed; I have enjoyed every step of your progress, learning quite a lot as I tagged along. Your willingness to share your experiences and techniques is much appreciated. YA has turned out as another exemplar of what can be achieved in a ship model, especially at the scale of 1:72. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Very nice work Dave, she is looking very 'grand' and as you say not much more to do. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Alls well that ends well Steven, you were fortunate it was a clean break at the 'butt' join. Nice repair and as you say, an opportunity to 'finesse' the part. cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Some very nice detail there; a good balance of fine versus super detail at this scale. - looks great! cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Hi Jim, as Mark has suggested - a lighter coloured wood for the decks (to represent a holystoned deck). Selection may come down to the width of the planks (at scale) that you need if you are not milling your own wood. It will depend on what sizes (in the types of wood you are considering) are available from hobby suppliers if you are not happy with the kit wood. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    The detailing on this one is going to keep you busy mate; nice scratch work on the additional detail in the boat spaces. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Looking good Steven; the wood tone and the shaping makes it look very much appropriate for such a vessel in this era. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Can't wait to see this Keith; should look good. WRT to the subtle scupper port lids, I am sure you will have considers a very light touch etch (by scalpel or the like) - or a feint pencil line (4H or the like)? 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.
