    Hi Rob and Michael. Many thanks for looking in and very kind comments. Best wishes for the New Year to you all also. cheers Pat

    Thanks for the feedback Rob. I am with you there; now prefer unusual subjects also. cheers Pat

    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

    Thanks for the feedback Greg. You are 'motoring' along with this build! cheers Pat

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

    Great ideas and technique Michael, the support for the saw blade is one that I will definitely file away. cheers Pat

    Nice work Greg. Those cranes may be just what I am looking for also Are they part of the kit PE or aftermarket? cheers Pat
  9. BANYAN
    Happy New Year t you too mate. Very (VERY) nice work on those channels, brackets and guns Jason. Those are very neatly executed brackets and look just right. cheers Pat

    Nice work G.L. , really like the iron (brass) knees 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
  12. BANYAN
    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

    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
  16. BANYAN
    Nice work! cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    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
  18. BANYAN
    Clever adaption; look forward to seeing some of the resulting work. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    That framing looks good Ben, glad to see you making such good progress. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Stunning model; thanks for the update shots John. You guys can be justifiably proud of your efforts on this model. cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    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
  22. BANYAN
    Thanks Denis; a great christmas thanks mate. Wishing you and the family a happy and safe new year. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    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
  24. BANYAN
    Looking very good Carl, nicely done paintwork. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Thanks all for the likes and comments; much appreciated. I hope all had a very happy Christmas, and wishing you all the best in health, happiness and prosperity for 2019. 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.
