    If only I was in Brisbane and not Melbourne, I would drive up and get what I can, lol. Building up for my retirement

      Hi Meredith,

       

      I am wondering if you have been successful in cleaning out your supply of materials and kits etc?

       

      I am heading up to Cairns for a holiday in July/August to visit family and may stop in Brisbane on the way back if it was worthwhile to see what was available.

       

      Please let me know and I may change my plans.

       

      Thanks and regards  Robert

    Hi Mark - it’s been so long since I touched any of it - so time to be realistic ☹️

    This part build is free to a good home - to finish off - along with all my model making supplies, some tools, Byrnes rope walk, books and plans etc . A few personal issues have got in the way of modelling and if someone is willing to pick up from Maroochy River area is all yours……

    Also books and plans etc…..

    Before I start dragging stuff out of storage to photograph - is there any one willing to pick up supplies from Maroochy River area of Sunshine Coast Queensland. I have not done any modelling since 2015. I have a few kits part done, lots of timber (strips mostly) and lots and lots of general fittings (you know all the stuff we just HAVE to have when model building) and a couple of finished models. Most of the tools have already gone but I do have a Byrnes rope walk. One belt perished - but I purchased spares - not installed. So if anyone half handy could easily fix. Everything is give away to good home if you are willing to collect - as I am not in the position to pack and ship.

    Hi all. I am due to move house again soon and sorting through possessions. due to life getting in the way I have not done any ship building since 2014. I have a few kits started ( you can search my logs for photos etc) and some timber’s - pear etc and lots of other supplies - Chuck ropes and blocks and lots of other misc items I am currently in Julatten - but could drop off to Cairns area. I am not asking for payment - although petrol money for delivery would be appreciated. I hate to get rid of my supplies but I have to be sensible and it would be really nice for all my stuff to have a good home - NOT at the local tip.

    Looking for model ship builders living in Cairns. I am in the process of packing up house and have lots of boat stuff to relocate as I can't take anything with me. I have posted in the for sales - but I would be willing to give some supplies away if I can't sell. Hate to have to throw it in the rubbish. Meredith

    Syren, Supply and Dos Amigos as part builds are available. Links to build logs in signature. Have lots of lovely Chuck supplies too for these builds along with beautiful replacement woods etc.
  23. Meredith
    I am on the move again - this time - probably overseas. Is there anyone in Cairns Australia that would be interested in all my boat stuff. Tools, a kit or two, two part completed boats, general supplies... woods, glues, paints, All sorts of stuff. Few tools - eg Byrnes rope walk, Russian serving machine... Proxxon stuff.... Possible I MIGHT be able to transport things to Sydney/Canberra areas - or places on the way from Cairns to Canberra. No promises on that part. Very sad to see the stuff go - but I have to be realistic and accept the fact I will never get back to boat building.

    I used some brass sheaves from RB Models - also available from Cornwall model boats and a few other places. http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/rb-rigging-sheaves.html

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.
