    Hi Eric Just joined your 'doesn't quite fit, what the heck!' build log You're doing a great job and I am sure those that follow you in building the Cairo will be so grateful you have asked all those questions and can refer to this build in future years so they won't be so frustrated. I am tempted myself to build her--- something different for the fleet. Cheers Ian

    Hi Fred. Glad your getting on really well with Cheerful..it was my first scratch build. Chuck's plans and pdf notes are top class...i had to source my wood locally so she is a dark Cheerful lol Keep up the super work. Love your tree nailing it's worth the effort. Ian

    Hi Keith Thanks for helping, Yes there are upgrades for the Trumpeter 1/200 plastic kit I was wondering as the Amati kit had a serious amount of PE already if they were required? I have looked at a build's on here and I did not spot anyone saying that had purchased them. Just excited to get ready

    I have it on very good authority that Santa with Cornwall model boats help is getting me the Bismarck for Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄 Are there any additional PE or other bits I should get to supplement it?
  14. Ian B
    looking forward to its completion--- I have this on my Christmas present from Santa list ready for the new year

    Hi Chris Just found out a 50-gun 17C ship was actually built in Lydney Forrest of Dean called the 'Forrester'...she saw lots of action... That could be a great 'local' build not guess not much world attraction LOL
  16. Ian B
    I have built four ships in the last four years..first full sail , second and third no sails and currently furled sails...so even I can't decide lol 🤣🤣. Do what you think aesthetically looks good to you for your choice of subject..

    I used the technical I saw else where on here.. sorry I couldn't remember where..this gives a good nice shallowing towards the yard ends .
  18. Ian B
    I just so love how the hull looks-- so industrial ------Where are you going to display her?>
  19. Ian B
    You'll have to give us a review of them when they arrive

    Hi @modeller_masa yes, it is one of her many re-incarnations-- she was changed about quite a bit over her service, a nice model... I will one day get around to building her from scratch-- still think she is a most over looked potential kit for the general model ship building community to issue. On a slight note-- The go ahead has been given to build a full size replica of the the SS Great Western -- a paddle steam in the adjacent dock in Bristol.
  21. Ian B
    I've nearly finished this build..I hope you enjoy it as much as I did...you've made a great start
  22. Ian B
    A great project, love following this superb build
  23. Ian B
    That looks superb..roll on the other sails
  24. Ian B
    After lots of agonising I started with a couple of furled sails..I will do a mix of full and furled.. so thanks for your great dry runs with the paper..super idea

    Chuck of Syren fame on his Cheerful build printed the flag on tissue paper then used a spray fixer. Looked so realistic -- on the Syren website you can down load the last pdf pages which shows how it is done...

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.
