    Piet I really enjoy watching how you are doing this. Your next project could be a fully brass build steam locomotive Remco

    Thank you guys. Yes Druxey that is a good trick for dents, unfortunately her little fangs cut the fibers so I nee to fill the gap or go for Greg's story. Might as well throw in the musket as well....... It's a Brown Bess Sea Service Pattern 53.5 inch long musket, making it just over an inch long to match my model. Only dry fitted, brass will blackened and the boxwood darkened with mahogany stain. Remco

    Finally I got around to do the redo, and guys I'm mortal too and with the rest of you doing my fair share of redo's every once and a while.... I had a few set backs like the new plank snapping when I was heat bending it, resulting in taking some leave from the shipyard. Tonight I got back and fixed the sheer plank. Eagle-eye Druxey I measured it up and the upper sill is correct, but the run of the planking creates the illusion of the still sitting too low, with the sheer strake corrected it still looks wrong so I'll make some adjustment to make it look optically okay too. My Kingfisher also suffered her first battle damage, it took some small arms fire on the riding bitt's Actually Pebbles took a bite at it while I was not paying attention The bitt cannot be replaced without mayor surgery, so I'll keep her signature om my KF From now on the shipyard will be off limits for my little furry shipmate......

    You make it look like easy peasy Piet. Looking at the picture of the real thing I see you can still make a kazillion parts if you feel like it Remco

    Top class metalwork Piet!

    Mark, she looks great. At first I had to get used to the angled base you choose but now I real like it. Remco

    Oh my, the oiled deck looks wonderful Remco

    Indeed a tricky set of parts, but they came out really nice. Remco

    Looking good Piet, I can't wait to see the launch tubes finished, but I'll be patient Remco

    Very nice Toni, tricky but fun to make right? Remco

    Jaw dropping beautiful. Remco

    Good to see you back in the shop Piet. Wow you installed ball bearings right? Remco

    Nice! I'll save that picture for the moment when I put my KF up for display and the admiral starts complaining Remco

    Thanks. The sweeps were easier than I thought, but the sheer plank not. A pesky little plank to shape as it widens over the gun ports. And when I glued it in place I noticed that it does not run in a fair line over the first gunport (second port from the bow) The last row of planks below it are the source of the problem, so this needs to come off and I'll call for a redo......

    That is really neat to have a cross section of a long boat on your cross section. Remco

    The pinnace looks insanely good You'll find clinker planking not as difficult as it looks, do you have the cutter practicum from David Antscherl? Remco
  17. Remcohe
    That is some very sweet planking Bob. I bet trimming the edges at the ports was tricky with the sides already painted red. I'd say option 1. Remco

    So back on the real topic, I sanded the planking and now I'm in the process of cutting out the gun ports. A piece of sanding paper on a stick makes the process a little easier. The sweep ports will be a different challenge.... Remco

    Thanks for the likes and compliments. Piet I will take an order from you, but be aware I will do the assembly on site only So I have a new apprentice in the shop, 9 weeks old Pebbles is taking a real intrest in ship building. She's already very skilled in making small parts disappear, I think that is a sign of a great shipwright in the making In the background you can see progress of planking above the wale. They will be sanded before I add the sheer strake. Remco

    Magnificent! Remco

    Piet, Jan is right if you look at the drawings, she was designed with 3 blades. Of course it could look like 4 if you think it's 4. So no domkop or strike two here if you ask me just lucky as you only need to make 6 blades Remco
  22. Remcohe
    Impressive metalwork Pawel! Remco
  23. Remcohe
    It's a joy to watch Bob, I really like the details you added to the deck and leaving most of the planking off to show this detail. Remco

    I've been away from my log way to long, vacation, sickness and other projects kept me away from my Kingfisher. Time for an update, although a little off topic. I wasn't very pleased with the storage space I made under my workbench so it was time for a big upgrade. More drawers and a sliding platform to keep the power tools within practical reach. Always nice to do a full size project. Here's before, during and after. Stay tuned for updates on the KF Remco

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.
