    Hi Augustus, I must admit I stumbled on your build and so glad I did; very nice build you have going here. I especially like the 'tone' and 'variance' of the wood you are using. very clean and precise joinery - great job! cheers Pat

    Ssssshhhh Carl, she might hear cheers Pat

    .... and how many drill bits cheers Pat

    Wow great work Steven - with this level of research and attention to detail your model will be worth serious academic consideration and display in a museum. All these contributions from other researchers/modellers is very interesting reading. cheers Pat

    I wonder myself - The Admiral has granted a 'leave pass' so I think I am treading on safe ground so far Thanks for the compliment. cheers Pat

    Very nice work on your furled sails and yards UV; she will look really grand with the rigging added. cheers Pat

    Nice work Rob; so easy for 'accidents' when making these modifications. They look very appropriate for this era of sail. cheers Pat

    They also probably used the windlass for the spars? If so having the windlass free from the anchor rope is a good idea. You have a great level of research for period-correct detail in this build Steven. cheers Pat

    Hi Pat and Steven, thanks for looking in and the compliments guys, much appreciate them as they are great incentives to keep progressing the build. Steven, the ruler is bi'lingual' - some posts just don't show the metric part - but you have the gist of it Things have been quiet in the dockyard while I have been researching the 'rig' and sail plans. In the interim I have been progressing the 'Rigmaiden' lanyards so they are ready to go when I need them. I have also started making the carriage components for the broadside guns. Things may go very quiet for about 8 weeks or so as I am about to head off on a holiday to the UK, and when I return I have to go in for the first of the 'bionic' replacement parts (total hip replacement) so that will slow me up a little The 'Admiral' has insisted I put as much effort into prepping the holiday as researching the ship, or..... cheers Pat

    That last shot is a great angle of your completed work Pat; she looks great! cheers Pat
  11. BANYAN
    That is a great, innovative and very well considered gift Greg; you rare rightfully proud. cheers Pat

    Hi Keith, that finish looks stunning! WRT the 'holes', one could be the cooling water/ engine water intake, while another may be discharge for that water? cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    Nice details; have you had any sales enquiries yet - I am sure there are a few billionaires who would like to add this to their toy collection. Ooops, sorry, forgot this was a model. cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    This will be an interesting build of a very interesting subject. cheers Pat

    They do take some time to do; I am in the middle of doing similar items for my current build. cheers Pat

    Hi Dave, great to see you back amongst the sawdust. Nice touch with those gangway ropes - wish I had done them now The carving detail you have done is great for a first time effort, and far superior to anything I could achieve I think. cheers Pat

    Nice metal work as usual Keith, seems like a nice quality brass you use as it cleans up and 'works' very nicely? If my first trick is unworkable you could always try my fallback option Try flicking it so that it flies off the workbench into some place you cannot immediately find it - it will turn up a few weeks later cheers Pat

    Nice work on the rudder; I like the reducing technique. Mate the trick to finding things is to keep it in the most unlikely place - the last place you would think to look for it cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Very nice build Greg; a very fine collection you have assembled. You need a bigger display case me thinks :) ?? cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Ouch; good idea to have a first aid kit nearby. I certainly have one out in my shed. Hope all heals well. Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Great to see you back Patrick; and even better to hear you sounding 'chipper' about things. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    They're the ones SRC - nice looking set those ones. cheers Pat

    Hi Gregory, those 'trick stoppers' as they are known; this one being a 'Spencer' design, were a 19th century release mechanism. Other similar designs used a pressure plate instead of a swiveling lever, and others used different types of 'tumbler' mechanisms amongst other options to release the anchor. This is the mechanism I went with for my build of HMCSS Victoria (1855) I have included better pictures of the Spencer Trick Stopper, so you can see how it worked. Sorry to hijack the thread Vossie - but I thought this may useful to others at some time? cheers Ppat

    Hi Sam, to answer your earlier question - depends - sorry. If it is one of those products with the protective/finish coat on them I still use the fibre-glass scratch pen; but, the ultrasonic cleaner has certainly reduced the number of times I have to use the pen. cheers Pat

    Very (VERY) nice model Rob; even incomplete. 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.
