    Thanks for the likes and comments - always appreciated. Work continues on painting and adding deck furniture and glazing added to deckhouses/ wheelhouse. Also below the waterline has had the red paint added- used Tamiya dull red from a spray can (note how the red paint doesn't completely cover the metal protective hull plating). Take care all. Keith

    naaa more of an open sea kinda person- my dad was a fisherman and first time i went out to sea was when i was 12 years old. Keith

    Thanks Keith- we do like to get distracted from our builds with other models- recently bought a couple of the old airfix 1/76 military vehicle kits just for grins and giggles and i really enjoyed it- the WW1 male tank actually still builds into a nice little model (trying not to think how many decades passed since i last built it in my early teens)! Keith

    It's been a while! dusted her off and made a start painting the deckhouses, hatches etc and glued the ships boats together- the instructions are starting to make sense but are very vague in certain areas to say the least! i enjoyed getting back into this one today, but i do have the billings boats kit so not sure how detailed i want to go with her? take care all Keith
  26. clearway
    ouch fingers crossed for you on the 30th Keith- Lula is looking great. Keith
  27. clearway
    i didn't put a bend in the stern davits but did taper them slightly where they attach to the bulwarks to lessen the fore and aft angle if that makes sense. Keith
  28. clearway
    looking awesome😁
  29. clearway
    if you look at the plans they are for the sheaves that take the sheets for the main and fore courses along with the main brace

    Looking great so far- If memory serves me right Crozier had the iron midships davits removed though. I modelled my terror like that but left the mounts for the davits in place on the outside of the bulwarks. Keith
  31. clearway
    nice one Keith- i never realised they had steam engine controls in the wheel/ pilot house - would cut out the need for an engineer as well as a fireman in the boiler/engine room. Keith
  32. clearway
    as with the glue, polish the aluminium before painting- i would agree and recommend applying a coat or two of matt varnish as well when paint has fully cured. Keith
  33. clearway
    the joy we make for ourselves Daniel😱. looks great Keith
  34. clearway
    Nice Keith- i take a couple of days away for the steam gala at Keighley and she has sprang forwards leaps and bounds. Keith
  35. clearway
    i used self adhesive copper tape on my Terror and Erebus, but either super glue gel or bostik should work- be sure to polish the Aluminium first though before gluing to remove the oxidised layer off the surface. 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.
