Adrieke, Good progress! You could be like Sjors and just avoid the stairs for a long time like he is avoiding ratlines...... :D :D On another note, I tried to sign up for that site and, as of yet, cannot sign on.... Cheers, Jim

Jared, Unfortunately I lost the pics of my early construction..... .... The Main deck was four very thin pieces and I used chili cans where you used weights. Had no problem taking them off..... Your repair looks fine...won't even be noticed once you start putting stuff on it... My decks were not pre-scored, all were planked with .5x3mm lath. And there were no measurements anywhere on the plans as to deck length or slope....had to wing it.... My choices are Kentucky Ale or Magic Hat #9.....or something from the highlands... Cheers, Jim Keith, I use special ammo in the Bob's mortar.....not to be revealed unless fired upon first!

Jared, My paddlewheels were cast metal complete circles...just had to put them on axles and attach blades. No barrels or ships wheel were provided. I do have a steam whistle, bells, and some lifeboats. And a set of anchors if you want them...... :D :D Yes, the railings, stack tops, and lettering were all photo etched brass. Cheers, Jim
-
Jared, Must be posting at the same time...... I see you got cast metal stairs.....had to build all of mine except the front main stairway. And your railings come complete with posts! I had to custom paint and cut all 100+ posts and set them in place........ What is the pilot house fabricated from? Or is the pic to be used for tracing for cutting pieces? Had to build that too..... Should be fun! Jim
-
Jared, Glad to see you're getting started...It will be fun to watch and I hope to get a front row seat! I see on the picture that your railings are something called fibre? My Amati kit had metal ones. Also, the cargo posts look complete....in the Amati kit thay had to be built... They appear to supply the same anchors....makes me wonder if the Amati kit is their acquisition of your Scientific kit. My instructions were very thorough...in Italian! The translated section was more of a reference with very little detail. Did you get cast metal doors and windows? The scale is so small I hope so...... Cheers, Jim

John, The stairs look good, as does the rest..... Jim

Hi Anja, Those braces are for support...similar ones are used on grain delivery systems that attach to silos. It is a way to add support that is a lot less weight than typical trusses. Thanks for the comments and question! Cheers, Jim

It is possible my sound problem was related to my browser...I use Firefox and it has thrown a fit on some other player items as well....I'll try it with Chrome...

Interesting video, Frank, I will admit that it did make me a bit dizzy....... And I don't know if there was no sound or just that I could not get it to play? You are raising the bar on showing a build! Cheers, Jim

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.
