    Hi, really enjoying this topic, super work. I thought Id share this unusual book-- it is on Amazon for almost nothing. A chap was commissioned to make a model of the whole battle 190,000 figures-- Wellington didn't like it as it showed he was being a bit economical with the truth about the Prussians and certain individual in his official dispatches-- The first few chapters are slow but the rest is a fascinating read.

    I have just bumped into this build. What a great topic and super paint job,I have never seen this ship before-so unusual , --- I shall be following along --might even do this myself at some point, I have never done a plastic/PE ship

    looking good-- keep it up

    I always make a clear stand for all my models, the glass shelves help too.... will have one when finished..

    Thanks, I am definitely want to do a Mig 15 because not long ago about a year I had a jet circling quite low over the house and after 5 minutes or so I went to look and is was a 2 seat Mig 15 just in a low holding pattern. I have no ideal why as I was living in the heart of the west country with no airfield for at least 30 _+miles..... I was like a kid with excitement-- my better half -'so what ,another noisy plane'? LOl

    Hi Dan I have not made a model plane in 30 years!!! So tempted to do this kit.

    I like the trolley idea-- you can add loads of copper piping etc to detail the engine .. and possibly create some open fuselage access panels for the engine bay?

    Just made my first small 'kit boat' with PE and it has wetted my appetite so looking forward to following you, perhaps when I finished my current wooden build I shall do this kit too

    Hi I haven't for this one. I suppose I should have , I did for my others ..so deep joy to come in the headrails lol

    I'm just working from the stern to the bow, and doing the jolly boats at the monument--The hammocks are just placed in for now.

    She is really looking the business, I'm just a few steps behind on the same build so your log is a great help ... keep up the fab work..

    This is a very timely topic, I am just about to tackle this problem myself. The instructions gloss over the detail but show where to attach the deck rings for the tying down. Tim's picture above gives me a good idea how I might do it,
  13. Ian B
    tried some rolled long ways and folded? which looks best--tempted to do long ways-- not so many to make lol
  14. Ian B
    Thanks for the pictures, very interesting how they seem so large laid out on deck like that. I worked out roughly how big a real one would be--rolled it up and tied it around--- looks OK,,I am sure someone knows better
  15. Ian B
    Hi, sorry there is no link
  16. Ian B
    Hi I am just fitting the hammock netting to my HMS Vanguard build… I want to add the hammocks.. are they stacked vertically in the small nets? What about the large double nets that run parallel to the boats? I couldn't find a build that had done it--- so couldn't steal-- I mean be inspired by someone elses work
  17. Ian B
    Looking forward to coming along for the ride
  18. Ian B
    It reminds me of my favourite picture I have on the wall at home-- sorry for the poor quality photo but gives you the idea
  19. Ian B
    My favourite picture so far -- still enjoying all your output
  20. Ian B
    good PDF, I am most of my way through HMS Vanguard and intend having a full set of furled sails on her so will definitely refer to this
  21. Ian B
    wow -- love those planes-- great paint work and detail
  22. Ian B
    Same for me, it was years before I got a small lathe.. works a treat
  23. Ian B
    What super build, the cargo and the rope work just makes it outstanding-- well done
  24. Ian B
    Hi Its coming along great. I am considering doing this kit next with added electrics (I have not yet added any to any of my previous builds) so definitely coming along for the ride
  25. Ian B
    Note to self---- Stop reading this super thread and getting more bitter and twisted by the day working on a small table in my dinning room..LOL

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.
