Hi Vaddoc. Well...we have a saying here in Australia - “frigging hell”. That, my friend, is an apt description of my reaction as I looked through your photos of the completed model. What an achievement; something that you should be justifiably proud of; especially as you’ve managed to make the rigging work. A triumph of craftsmanship! Cheers Patrick

Hi Peter Emma looks like like a really nice design, full of charm and character. I can’t wait to see her sailing! Cheers Patrick
-
Many thanks, Mark! It’s certainly nice to be able to get back onto MSW. For some unknown reason, MSW would take ages and ages to load on my iPad...and even when it did load, it’d invariably freeze. Needless to say, I got very frustrated and thus, my absence on MSW is explained. Thanks also, for your compliments on Sapphire. They’re gratefully appreciated! Cheers Patrick
-
Thanks Vaddoc! Yep. That two decked engine room is a bit of a head-spinner! Thanks for looking in. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi folks! Well...despite a lot of technical issues with trying to use MSW, I’m just going to bite the bullet and post this long overdue update of Sapphire. For all intents and purposes, she’s just about 95% finished. The addition of a display board, plus a few minor bits and pieces, will see her fully completed. I hope you enjoy these photos! Cheers Patrick

Thanks Keith. As for “being confined to barracks going on for a while yet’, sadly I think you’re right. Who knows when this dreadful mess is going to end. I’m certainly missing being able to hug my son and daughter (and their respective spouses). I just guess we have to do what we have to do. Cheers Patrick

HMCSS Victoria 1855 by Banyan - 1:72
Omega1234 replied to BANYAN's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Hi Pat Yep. I really like that and...as I can attest too, Mark is absolutely right about zoom and macro shots. The small details can be quite confronting when viewed, but, as you’ve said, you can’t really see the close-up details from a normal distance, so all’s good. Cheers Patrick -
Hi folks. A quick update on the ‘illegal party‘ that’s been going on in Sapphire over the past week. Much to the owner’s consternation, the Construction Boss has invited even more of his mates on board. Have a look!!! Disclaimer: no teeny tiny people were harmed during this photo shoot😏😏😏! Cheers Patrick
-
Thanks Mark. Yep, the party’s started early...I don’t think they were adhering to the new social-distancing rules, though! Have a great week. Cheers Patrick
-
Hi Gary Thanks! Yep...sub-atomic is a good way to think about it. I must admit that the teeny tiny stuff really does my head in, sometimes, but it's all great fun nonetheless. The figures are slightly bigger than the correct scale because it was the best I could do. In actual fact, they're about 8 mm high (on average). Thanks for the compliments and stay safe. Cheers Patrick

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.
