    Hi Doug the photos seemed to come out the reverse of how i posted them try looking at them from bottom to top the paper is infact doublesided tape used to stick the line to the board when wrapping the trawl doors are the strange looking device the winch operates
  2. Steve 12345
    Hello all bit more final touches completed ive done some of the winch lines and various ropes as for the trawl doors im not satisfied with the look of the 2mm brass surround i have decided to remake these using one of them i removed the brass and added 3mm to the bottom and 3mm to the side then i was able to use this as a template to create two new doors 1mm shy of the door with fitted brass wire i will next attach 0.5mm brass all around doors and see how that looks

  16. Steve 12345

  19. Steve 12345
    Had a think about the last question I posted about the rigging it's no Hms victory if I run out I'll just strip it off and redo but the provided stuff looks plenty
  20. Steve 12345

  21. Steve 12345

    Hi Harry I did the stanchions first then kept the inside of handrail flush with them
  23. Steve 12345
    handrails and furniture
  24. Steve 12345
    Hello all nice productive weekend managed to plank the inner bulwarks fit the vertical stanchions which is changed to 3x2 instead of 3x3 and managed to get the handrails fitted
  25. Steve 12345
    Giving it some thought fitting the hand rail first would mean you get the advantage of fitting each upright one at a time fine tuning as required I've put some thought into it I'm not impressed with the kit recommendations the handrail doesn't meet it just butts against the keel leaving an ugly space between I think I will recess the two handrails in so they meet also I don't like how the uprights prutred the hand rails the kit calls for 3mm x 3mm ill will use 3mm x 2mm I think I will fit the three by two uprights first then try the modified handrail using the ply wood originals and see how that works I'll post pics tomo night with how it turns out

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.
