    You have experience with plastic models. So, simply explained. Airplane, tank or ship. First build the "hull". Then add the smaller parts

    Thanks for the comments and pressing the like button. Started building the pavilion (hopefully the right name) This is bigger than the original. And some windows have already been used elsewhere. So a new batch of windows is being made. The first ones in wood were disappointing. So they are now made in polystyrene. Pre-painted windows and wood. Assembled. And provided with a roof. I have also started applying the decoration. Not exactly as described but in line with the painting. Not all ladies fit perfectly in the new arrangement in the place where they will end up. To attach them more firmly, one lady needed a copper pin through her belly (ouch...) I have also started on a base plate. Afzelia wood, left over A few pieces of brass from a curtain holder. And 4 pieces of plastic (origin, forgotten...)

    Correct As far as I know. These standards serve as a reinforcement of the hull. Especially also on rear and fore castles if you do them flush with the wales (in pieces) then they have no strength anymore, and consequently little use. And, very nice work.

    Very beautiful and detailed work

    Did some And added pinrails

    Indeed great work. Instructions that come with these old kits are not always clear. Working on an old Corel kit, the instructions actually stop as soon as the hull is planked. After that there are 2 drawings and an Italian text... exciting 😇...

    Grooves have been milled into the winch, which provided more grip on the winch Reconstruction of a new scratch build winch with "new" supports from "leftovers" construction of the handle which can block the winch Winch ready, chimney in progress And some further detail

    The general rule for metal is 5000 divided by the diameter of the drill in mm. Source: Mechanics lesson in the 2nd year of technical education... (in 1978) 😉 Wood may have a higher speed, but the 5000 rule is also quite ok in this case. Nostalgia

    Nice work 👍

    I have also experienced this. Drilling by hand sometimes gives problems and small drill bits break more easily. I am really happy with the purchase of a Proxxon machine and the flexible drill head.

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.
