    Sphinx is a lovely kit to plank, and you're right about it being easy. Loving your work on this.
  2. James H
    It'll come as no surprise that it won't be Surprise.

    A modeller could just use copper tape of the correct width and then cut the plates themselves. This approach has been used on VM's Grecian, HMS Indefatigable, and very soon, Harpy.

    I don't know how I missed this, but I am super impressed
  5. James H
    Most definitely…….not.

    Remember, the ship is travelling forward, pushed by that aft wind. If the stack was facing forwards, there would be a positive pressure at the vent, forcing smoke under the deck. Facing backwards, despite the wind, there will be a negative pressure, helping to draw out smoke.

    That's a nice look under the hood. I definitely can't understand the lack of deck camber in modern kits. Looking forward to seeing you build this one.
  8. James H
    Nope! 😝

    Shhhhhhhhh......... 🤫 😉

    I still like the chequers you printed out, against that ivory white wall area.
  11. James H
    Beautiful work. I can't imagine they are quick to carve.

    If someone here has the knowhow, maybe they can make a vectored one in PDF form, that can then be scaled and printed to whatever size.

    If you edit the first post, you can remove the 'finished' from the title.

    Beautiful start. This was my cabin on Indefatigable. This stuff is supplied with Indy, but is also available separately on the VM site.
  15. James H
    Thanks guys, topic now moved.
  16. James H
    Can someone give me an approximation of the year of this vessel so I can put it in the build logs, where it belongs?
  17. James H
    A real result, and I had no idea she was that big too! Oh....
  18. James H
    What a beautiful job you're making of her.
  19. James H
    That's precisely what it was. Glad it's sorted for you.
  20. James H
    Links can't fix themselves. I promise you. They need to be manually edited.
  21. James H
    That's what I meant. Those links take me to the correct place.
  22. James H
    Nothing on the website has been changed. I can tell you those links work perfectly for me. If you experience problems yourself, it's the same old advice to clear your browser cache and cookies.

    That's actually quite lenient for a kit like that. I've had deliveries from the US...one of them only $30 plus delivery, and I had to pay £25 fees!
  24. James H
    It might be useful to set some time aside and read through this topic. This is aimed directly at the sort of questions you ask.

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.
