    Thanks man, I did zoom in as much as I could on your KGV crane build pics to help me out and a lot of the other PE parts I’ll be referring to that build to help me make sense of it! Haha yea already I’m not happy with the crane rigging as it’s gone saggy so will have to take it off and find a better way! Subsections is a good idea, I’ll do the rear super structure and then get the hull underway.

    Had better call that one complete crane, otherwise I’ll keep tinkering with it forever while I have a whole ship to build! At this rate I might be done by Christmas!!

    Thanks mate, it good fun so far and yea very fiddly. PE is a game for patient people I think! Started making a crane today, basically no instructions so took hours! Next one should go together much quicker.

    So begins some PE construction, Pontos instructions are quite awful and I almost emailed them to confirm half the instructions weren’t missing from my set... but once sorted out the increase in quality is huge!! The top section of the main mast in PE next to the same part of the original kit part

    While I wait for supplies, plans and other stuff I will start on the rear superstructure as the two sides were already glued together. I just cleaned up the edges and used some putty to deal to gaps

    Hello, This is my first ever build log and my first ‘proper’ ship build attempt. Ive followed a few builds on here as research and to see how things go together so thought I’d show my build too. It will be a slow one I think as I’ll try give it a good go and also tough to find much info on Her except low res pics from far awayso it won’t be a super accurate one as I’ll just have to wing bits I don’t know about. I got this kit for lockdown and from someone that had cut a few bits off but hadn’t really done any building.

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.
