    Heavy is good IMHO as it gives a nice stable base for the hull. Not much good for me at the moment though with my Endeavour as there is no stem fitted till much later on so there is nothing for the Bow end of the slipway to hold on to. Might get one later once the stem has been fitted

    I was thinking about getting one of those building slips from the UK Hobbyzone dealer, it looks like a nice piece of kit

    The upside is the longer you take the better the end product

    Last part of the slipway build Placed the keel in the slot in the slipway and dry fitted the bulkheads Marked out where the bulkheads cross the slipway Removed keel and cut slots where the bulkhead markings where Replaced the keel and made sure bulkheads sat in the slots cut out for them Checked that the bulkheads were clear of the base of the slipway insuring that they sat all the way down in their slots Long winded way of doing it but by starting with two long strips and then cutting slots in them i know all the pieces are perfectly in line with each other (nothing like piece of mind before continuing)

    Very nice boat you have there, beautiful lines I would have used dowel too, much stronger than wire for supports. Looking at your workmanship I think your skill levels are higher than you think they are, very nicely built

    Hi Paul welcome The instructions are far better than the Panart ones The gun deck in the background is an almost finished one of the two i built before, as i started the slipway for this build a while ago but i have only just started the log

    Think it's time to start a new build log As usual first thing is a homemade slipway to keep the keel straight Glue the two halves of the keel together There are two strengthening parts to fit to the joint but not yet Built the slipway first Keel without the strengthening parts fitted Keel now square to the slipway Cut a slot in the slipway to allow the strengthening pieces to be fitted

    Wow I never realised the kit was so small Makes your work even more impressive
  19. cobra1951
    Great little build you are doing, very nice :)

    Getting the other half on side is the most difficult bit mate . Job well done there
  21. cobra1951
    Yeah when it comes to the repetitive bits it's so easy to lose the will to carry on with them

    Hi Ian This one sneaked in under my radar Great little build, nice job As you said a great value for money kit too
  23. cobra1951
    Wow it looks bigger in the outside shots :) And i bet that's not all the dog leaves in the grass for you
  24. cobra1951
    I don't envy you that task

    I look at it this way, building models is a fun pastime and the more time that passes the more fun you must be having

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.
