May be slow progress Dave, but she is looking great. Those rope ends look all nice and ship-shape! I made life a little easier with my display base by using two thinner pieces of wood with the first (lower) being the larger (overall) size, then placing a second cut to the inner dimensions of the acrylic on top. No need for slots etc cheers Pat

Nice work Rob. Were the red handles just make them stand out or was that the acual colour (from research)? cheers Pat

Oh you do love a challenge Greg, that PE looks more than a little difficult! Good luck The paint effect is very good and representative of a well worn 'work horse' of the fleet. cheers Pat

Sitting at the back has its advantages mate; I can heckle and throw things further than you could throw them back and up Look forward to seeing your efforts on this build also. cheers Pat

Hi Gerald, a happy New Year to you and your family. Thanks for the pointer to your website. As has been commented but much more experienced modellers, I also find your work inspirational. Whenever I run into a metalsmithing 'roadblock' I always return to your work and see what is achievable - that usually gets me motivated, not that I am anywhere near your skill level. cheers Pat

Welcome back to the 'fray' agan Mark; have missed your updates. I like that building jig; and, BTW, you make me extremely jealous with the flexibility/capability that 'death star' provides for you happy New Year! cheers Pat

Fantastic job Rod; she came up a real 'treat' for the eyes and is a compliment to your efforts in building her. I really like that lantern, had not noticed it before. Happy New Year mate, cheers Pat

Best glue for paper templates?
BANYAN replied to andante's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I have used a spray-on (pressure pak) 'temporary' fix glue from 3M and another company in the past with some success - can't remember the brand name of the other but available in art supply stores. Only issue was that sometimes the edge of the paper would lift when cutting on the saw (especially with the scroll saw) which I think was due to the offset teeth of the blades I was using. cheers Pat -

Hi Ilhan, As John has suggested, some steering control rods were above deck. The attached photo shows control chains but the principle is the same. I have seen, but do not have a photo, where these chains ran inside an inverted 'U' style protective cover bolted to the deck (not flush) also. I hope this helps? 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.
