    I make my own with both sand paper and Emory . That way i can decide on the size and shape i need. I use old scraps of flat wood, Dowling and curved wood. Paul

    Hi Techsan, I think your build looks very good. Don't start pulling apart and end up regretting it. Continue building. I would like to here your backstory. Good luck with whatever decision you chose. Paul

    Hi Don, I am building the 1/84 kit of this ship. As Kevin says lots of good pics with a google search. If you have the same poster that came with mine the colour scheme has a white bottomed hull. I believe at one time this was correct, but she now has a black hull with two white strips which are representative of what would have been the cannon bands where she a war ship. The instructions i have say to paint the top band gold, but it is actually yellow ochre. This paint scheme IE: white, black and yellow ochre seems to be prevalent through most of the ship with a lot of brass showing. Paul

    Just as I thought the you couldn't do a better job than the tram I find this brilliant build log. Fantastic work. Paul

    Brilliant job. Saw the first photo and thought it was a taster of the real tram with model photos to follow. The close up looks so real. Paul

    Have very pleasant weekend as well Alain. Welcome to the forum, you will get on with us all here. Great kit HMS AGAMEMNON, will you start a build log for us to follow? Paul

    Will be following with interest Danny. Paul

    Looking great Danny, Looking through your log and the build areas when you took it apart and rebuilt you've done a super job. Have to double take when looking at your build to realise it is a card model. Paul

    Looks good, really taking shape. Good you are back on the build. Paul

    Messis, Yes unless it is in a display case it would patina over time I would imagine. This would defiantly make it more natural rather than forcing it. Paul
  16. Paul Jarman
    great job Messis, At the scale you are working the copper is not taking up too much of the hull. So your plan not to patina is a good one. Paul
  17. Paul Jarman
    Absolutely unbelievable details on such a small model. Can't wait to see how you are going to make the grew figures !!! She has to have a crew Paul

    Hello Jonk, Paul

    Welcome aboard Louie, As EJ says try not to compare with other builds. Take a look at mine, A top class builder would find lots of faults. Especially the square ports. Not the neatest job around but they look good enough at this scale. Build for yourself as i do. A build log would be good we can see what you are doing and give any advice you may need. When i get stuck on a section, which i did a few times building the hull i move to another part of the build i know won't give me too much trouble. I then check out other builds read and reread the instructions until it suddenly comes to me what i need to do. Good luck with your build and hope to see a few pictures soon. Paul

    Hi Messis, Great job on the coppering. Are you going to patina it?. The hull looks very good. Paul
  21. Paul Jarman
    Welcome aboard Jeff. Paul
  22. Paul Jarman
    You should be fine with a bit of elbow grease. The hull at least looks like it is running true. Good work with the bulb. I did the same only i used wood filer not fibreglass putty. But i have filled and sanded back twice before being happy with the finish. Paul

    Will watch with interest. I do like the way you give yourself more work with the PE. Of course it will look great when done. Looking good so far. I also can't believe how fast you work with the PE. I've just added a few of the smaller fittings to my model and that took me the day to do!!

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.
