    this ship is fighting you all the way Greg! - i had the plastic containers for my Occre Erebus and Endurance stashed on a shelf under the workbench and when reaching for something else under there they slid off, opened and mixed all the fittings up including all the extra 4mm and 3mm deadeyes i had ordered for Erebus on top of all the 5 mm ones from both kits 😱.

    great to hear Keith and the build is coming along nicely. Keith
  24. clearway
    you are welcome Greg- to be honest i am coming across more info while building my Erebus! Keith
  25. clearway started following HMS Terror by Greg Davis - OcCre - 1:75 scale

    Welcome to the Terror club- the ply infill method might work to correct the "bulge" that is present on the finished hull. I stuck with the kit planking on my Terror but used closer to scale planking on my Erebus deck. Keith

    for the likes and looking in everyone- weather back to rain and wind on and off so a bit of ship yard time. The rudder has been added (drilled extra holes in the pintle straps) - used the Peco blackened trackpins as fasteners and added a sheeve at the top of the rudder in the hole for lifting the rudder out, and made the tiller out of some spare brass rod i had same as on my Terror build. Also added the brackets for storing the spare spars and other timbers - for making the shelter over the deck? Decided to go with black for the funnel as opposed to gun metal i was going to use. take care everyone Keith

    Hey Guy with views like that sometimes you just gotta chill and unwind😊 Keith

    interesting catalogue page Keith - a single 3" wooden block for $1.50 ! Keith

    Welcome back and oh yes- they put my Erebus on hold- i ended up adapting some Amati etched turnbuckle chainplates (chickened out of scratchbuilding the strops like on my Terror) Keith
  31. clearway
    looking awesome Keith😁 Keith
  32. clearway
    Wow a summer in July with temps in the high 20s Centigrade - typical for u.k. summers this time of year until the ring of fire went crazy in the 90s and gave us 26 rubbish, rainy summers! Anyways little more work on Erebus with the flues for the galley stove/ forced air heating furnace. The galley stovepipe has a hinged cowl- not sure if KeithS and myself spent much time regarding the heating system flue and on Terror i actually had it coming up the starboard deck, when after consulting admiralty plans and Matthew Betts Terror book it actually comes out to one side and slightly off centre to starboard on the fore companionway - i reduced the depth of the hatch and reduced the runners to suit. Also made the funnel for the steam engine using Aluminium tubing and self adhesive copper tape cut into strips as i did with Terror and and added some strip to make a coaming around it- will be painted gun metal same as the flues. Take care all Keith

    looking awesome Daniel- jeez m8 gonna book you into some sort of brain relaxation clinic after that lot! Keith
  34. clearway
    doing o.k. thanks Keith- been a lot of outdoor work so not much modelling. Keith
  35. clearway
    they had generators that ran off the steam engine as well Keith if memory serves me right all the electrical gear on a lot of the old steamers were supplied that way. Keith
  36. clearway
    on my armour and railway kits i never use black - i use black primer and then use thinned coats of humbrol matt 67 tank grey and lighter shades of grey if more aging wanted- your wheel house (oops pilothouse across the pond) roof looks the part. Keith

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.
