Please be advised that the plans produced by that "Japanese guy" constitute an unlicensed reproduction that he is not legally entitled to distribute and thus violate our site's intellectual property rules. I'm not familiar with the other set you mention, but the same rules apply if his work is an exact BP likeness.

The plans should be available from BlueJacket Shipcrafters, since they make a kit of the Notman.

Hi. Sorry to hear about your husband. I have removed your email address to protect you from spam bots. Interested members may contact you by private message. To ensure that this is a genuine offer, please post some photos and descriptions of your husband's materials. Also, you might be interested in donating the materials to a local club. It's a not-uncommon practice, and clubs typically auction off the donations to raise funds. There is a local club that meets in Portland -- you can find their contact information by clicking this link, then scrolling down to the Oregon clubs. Kind regards, Chris

The tackles on the 1/64 scale 4-pounders for my Sherbourne required 2 mm blocks -- they were tiny, and definitely a challenge to work with.

Tail skid skinned and guns added -- no sights yet. EDIT: I should add that KK offers a laser-cut set for the Spandau guns. I haven't used them on this model, and I have to wonder how useful they would be -- I imagine that rolling the cooling jackets would be a nightmare, since I have found, with other models, that the card used for laser-cut details typically doesn't fold or roll well.

"Work bench" feed back please

A big question might be how much stuff do you expect to store in it? It doesn't look like it provides all that much storage space. -
It comes down to personal preference, though I do like to see them included on schooners. How to rig them? There I can't help you much. Ah, this is part of the curse for those of us who choose to build obscure subjects in less popular media. We don't get as many oohs and aahs, but some are watching. I try to get around to everyone's build logs now and then, but we have a lot of them to follow, so sometimes it is a few weeks or even months before I catch up. In the end, though, build what you like, regardless of audience appeal -- that's what I do. Cheers!

Does Shipyard Make a 1/96 HMS Bellona?

I order them from Poland, though not directly from KK (they don't ship to the US). http://kartonowa.pl/?kartonowa-kolekcja,14 Now on to a couple of shots of the closed-up cockpit and fuselage structure. My old, old phone ran out of charge this afternoon and was on the charger while I assembled this, so no good cockpit interior shots -- sorry! Once the cockpit is closed, the remaining fuselage structure goes together quite quickly. Next task will be fuselage skinning.

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.
