    After the little mare nostrum build I did I have become a big fan of bare wood models instead of painting just use hardwood and softwood mixtures I think some of the artesania Latina kits lend well to this and I'm considering a Scottish maid or independence

    thank you for viewing and your interest ca.shipwright I will be sure to follow your log and see what can be done with this kit I only wish I left the kit alone until I was more experienced I might have done so much more with it .one thing may help you I assume you have 8 plan sheets ? these do not include drawings of the sails you need to source that drawing from the mantua sergal version plan sheet 8 a

    Hello and welcome to my log of the HMS Victory by Panart this is not a rolling log as I built the ship before discovering MSW this was my first model ship I completed it in around eleven months ,knowing what I know now about ship building I would have spent more time and added much more detail however I am happy with the results and would like to share the images with you all as from time to time in my other logs you may hear me refear to the victory thankyou for viewing and please enjoy the following steve

    Hi Tim I have just found your log and I am very impressed I will be following along I like your colour scheme very much and the detail you have shown in the rigging is fantastic thanks steve
  11. Steve 12345

  12. Steve 12345
    thank you silkjc im relatively new to ship models ive been using vallego airbrush paint not nescarilly always using an airbrush I thank you for your imput and im open to all suggestions ,im not keen on the realistic wealtherd affect but do feel the derection ive gone so far is a bit (toy like)
  13. Steve 12345
    thanks harry looks more like a big toy than a model ship to me at the minute but I felt that way about my victory before I started addeing detail I think after this it will be bare wood effect models for me

    Hello all I am back in business on the bounty build after my short break building another ship I don't think I will attempt a side build again as I think it give me an easy option out of the bounty when things got challenging. Even before I started the bounty I could not get my head round how billings intended the bulwarks to be fitted but after the short break have just stormed in and started building and im happy with how that step has went I think sometimes you just need to build if its wrong there is nothing that cant be ripped off and re done. Gemmajf if you are reading I have ordered the caldercraft figurehead and I ordered amati stern cabin windows portside and starboard I should hopefully get them in the morning I will post some pics of them in comparision to the kit provided ones ,I have no idea what size they are or scale I believe the caldercraft to be from 1/60 the amati pieces im not sure
  15. Steve 12345
    Hi would like to see your progress any luck with the photos yet is it perhaps there larger than 2mb and you need to shrink them first before it will let you upload them if this is the case try downloading a program called faststone you can view a tutorial on utube to see how to download and use it steve
  16. Steve 12345
    Hi Derek sorry to read about your accident there I would suggest drilling and pinning that piece back on as well as wood glue to help strenghen
  17. Steve 12345
    Ah I see the compulsory lego shot no build gets off to a good start without this
  18. Steve 12345
    Thank you very much to the regular followers in no particular order derek Brian harry and Doug and also to the new faces this evening ,I will be sure to follow up with some pics of the display cabinet and some daylight photos you can always find me on the bounty build I hope for your continued support Thanks Steve
  19. Steve 12345
    That's it for the little ship Mare Nostrum im officially calling this one finished a big thankyou to the people that participated and the likes and views
  20. Steve 12345
    trawl doors fitted ive opted to go with the doors with no brass surround and made the doors slightly bigger so they are the same size if the brass was fitted
  21. Steve 12345
    with my bounty buiuld I even threaten to take up sowing
  22. Steve 12345
    thanks doug the brass work has definitely been a challenge I have no experience with brass or soldering and perhaps this should be an avenue I should explore I welcome the new challenges and will not let the model say complete until I feel it is COMPLETE

    progress so far on the Mare Nostrum the last part of the build I have found frustrating with the trawl doors the instuctions call for 4 brass pins to be shaped and fitted tied together with a silver wire the first door I did I was pleased with however trying to recreate this with the second has so far took ten attempts and to date im not happy so will carry on trying to replicate the first. and for the border of the doors they call for a 2mm brass wire to be fitted I have tried this but not happy with the result I ordered some 0.5 mm brass plate in the hope I could rip 2mm strips to use as the surround however all this has resulted in is I now need to order a new blade for my proxxon saw I remade the doors to the size of original includeing 2mm brass wire so if I cant figure out how to make 2mm x0.5 surround I may just use the doors without brass surround
  25. Steve 12345
    I've build three ships 1/78 1/35 1/50 and from what I can tell from a kit perspective there all pretty Simaler small medium and large and pretty much same with rigging Perhaps try purchasing a small amount of a kit size to copy

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.
