Hi All, Almost the end of March.... Time certainly flies. Update to the Endeavour: Railings/Timberheads installed. I used 5.0mm wide Mahogany for the Railing material. Gangway Steps constructed. and installed, 12 per side. Skids were problematic, I should have constructed from thinner material in a couple of "Laminations", would have been much simpler. Some Deck furniture constructed; Pump castings required quite a lot of work. Stern Decoration installed, I decided on the "Lipstick on a pig" approach and it looks o.k. Before installing the Rudder, I need to have a think about the color of the Hull below the Wales, Whit Stuff or Stain, unsure. Been thinking on construction of a "Tool" to cut the outline of Loading Ports, I am not using the A/L castings for these. Anyway, slowly onward!! Cheers....HOF. Photos:

Hi Mr. MW, That's a pretty good starter for ten!! I am working on a similar vintage A/L Endeavour, same issues, B/W booklet, etc, etc. (The kit leaves a lot to be desired....) I am currently in the process of finishing the Hull, cutting outlines for loading Ports and have yet to decide what to do with finishing below the Wales, White Stuff or Stain. (I need to update my build and to that end, I'll take a few photos of my progress in a day or two.) Cheers....HOF.

Hi All, A new post for this subject and a few photos as of today. Re-Planked Forward and Tween Decks Re-Planked Hull below the Wales Paint and Polyurethane Mucked around with "Castings." Attempted to model an alternative Stern Decoration, somewhat unsuccessful so opted for the "Lipstick on a Pig" version and use the kit decoration, not a very good molding at all.... My first 18th Century Ship, very different to the "Pointy" bows that I am more familiar with. I now am fully focused on this build "post" Bismarck and associated cabinet. My goal is to produce something of similar quality to that of @BANYAN (Pat) Thanks for the inspiration!! 🙂 Cheers.... HOF. Photos:

Hi All, Thank you all so very much for your suggestions and ideas, very much appreciated. Its' given my lots to think about. At the mo., I'm having another go at the kit supplied piece, if this doesn't look acceptable, I'll think about cutting a Frieze from 0.4mm Styrene. I will post photos of my efforts soonish on my build log. Cheers and Regards, Harry.

Hi All, I'm currently resurrecting my A/L 1/50 Endeavour. The Hull/Deck look o.k. after a bit of attention, anyway, does anyone know of "Aftermarket" or otherwise, Stern decoration? I have the kit item which is a rather hefty casting and not very realistic. I have had a bash at carving my own without much success. (Using AOTS diagrams as a starting point.) Any advice, thoughts or vendors would be very much appreciated. Cheers.... HOF..

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.
