    Taking a back row seat to see what you do with this one Carl, looks like you have taken a liking to RCN ships? 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

    They have come out very nicely Steven; your persistence has paid dividends. Every sub/mini-project is a learning process; the next batch should be faultless masterpieces then cheers Pat

    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

    Hi folks a small update. These only stand 11mm tall and the thicker looking handles only 0.8mm - may change the handles as they look a little too thick but were supposed to be more substantial for two men to operate it. The downton pumps are assembled with one dry fitted to the base/plinth n which it will stand on deck. The next thing is to clean them up a bit and a final coat of white. Wishing all a very merry and safe festive season cheers Pat

    Looking good Rob, practice makes perfect huh? cheers Pat

    Hi Vossie, WRT order I always look at what is going to be difficult to do once the furniture is in situ. For example, I place as many hooks, eyes etc into the bulwarks (for guns etc)before the furtnotre so that I have room to drill. the same goes when it comes to the furniture itself, I always look what is going to get in the way of other jobs, so I make but only dry fit some deck furniture. One example is things that may restrict you tying off on fife rails, pin rails, jeers btts etc. cheers pat

    Oh come on Ed, those are real yards treated in photoshop aren't they?....? very clean, crisp metal and wood work. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN

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.
