Thanks for the likes and looking in everyone- Erebus has her name on the stern😁- Occre did supply a nice etched nameplate but i wanted to keep her in the same vain as my Terror. Also the taff rail has been added. Moving to the bows the end of the bowsprit has had the end squared off and an new cap scratchbuilt as the occre one has a circular hole which is way to big for the mortice and tenon joint- the cap still needs sanded to shape and the hole for the jib boom widened. Finally couldn't resist a photo of her beside my finished Terror- polar queens re-united! Take care all Keith

regards gluing rigging and blocks Josh i always used watered down P.V.A. glue which doesn't crack and can be worked slightly. Keith

Thanks for the likes and looking in- yey the days are slowly but surely getting longer where daylight is concerned😁.In between last minute gardening jobs before spring gets here managed to do some more work on Erebus, the skylight for the captain's cabin is finished and the wardroom skylight just needs some sanding done. Also made the small platform between the hatch and skylight where the capstan will fit, and glued the fashion pieces either side of the transom. Have dry fitted everything made so far regards deck fittings/ hatches etc to see how it all looks. Take care all Keith
-
in a pic in 'South With Endurance it shows the funnel guys going over the railings and down towards the capping rail- it would have been the only option after fitting the Kennels in South America. Keith
-
Sure it was added when they hit the ice to help the helmsman steer towards leads in the floes so not there when steaming from London to the Southern Oceans. Keith
-
Coming along nicely Tom- i have seen drawings with a cover over the steering chains with a slot for the chains to come through the sides. regards bringing the anchors in board the davit you see lying on the deck would be to raise the flukes inboard and would have rigged a block and tackle to the fore topmast head to bring the anchor in if memory serves me right.

Looking at the picture in previous post it appears there isnt one on the main but this image shows ones maybe added during re-fit? Keith
-
Certainly looks the part Josh- the pinrail for the main and mizzen masts is mounted on the shrouds just above the uppermost deadeyes. Keith
-
Work continues with the skylights and also finished the accommodation hatches (used walnut as opposed to the occre supplied veneer) and ye olde faithful Peco track pins for door handles. The smaller skylight is nearing completion and started on the bigger skylight. Also used Amati supplied cast elm tree pumps for the ones just behind the forward most hatch (occre shows these as skylights). take care all Keith
-
Thanks for the likes as always and looking in- have started the smaller of the two skylights using the existing carcass which is basically sound. First i took one of the shorter sides and removed the uprights for the roof then rebated and added acetate and a piece of thin strip so i could glue wooden frames to wood (think pictures explain better) - then moved to next longer side and repeated- when finished the window frames should support the roof. When the window frames are finished i will add some horizontal strips top and bottom to add strength. take care all 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.
