    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,

    tried some rolled long ways and folded? which looks best--tempted to do long ways-- not so many to make lol

    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

    Hi, sorry there is no link

    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

    Looking forward to coming along for the ride

    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
  10. Ian B
    My favourite picture so far -- still enjoying all your output

    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
  12. Ian B
    wow -- love those planes-- great paint work and detail
  13. Ian B
    Same for me, it was years before I got a small lathe.. works a treat
  14. Ian B
    What super build, the cargo and the rope work just makes it outstanding-- well done
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. Ian B
    good luck
  18. Ian B
    love to build that
  19. Ian B
    Thanks Gregory, a great resource. I shall book mark it
  20. Ian B
    Thanks for the quick replies Chris, I am just thinking about what details I could add throughout the build. I am open to suggestions
  21. Ian B
    Thanks Chris What about the upper deck? loving your kit by the way. I have 2 months of work (no choice) so steaming ahead with this . One other question does she have any scuppers or such like to release the water from the decks?
  22. Ian B
    Hi I am just about to plank the decks but unsure as to what pattern they should be layed. Can anyone help? Thanks
  23. Ian B
    yes, once you start on the mast and rigging your over the hump.....
  24. Ian B
    RAF SAR rules OK far better in yellow 🤡 flew with 22 sqn couple of times a long time ago LOl..
  25. Ian B
    Thanks for the quick response Allen. I will be using the Victory model kit but I hope to 'enhance it' some what. I just like adding that extra bit of detail that make so much difference and increases the satisfaction of the build.-- if that makes sense I have been reviewing the build logs on here for the kit and have some ideas already..

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.
