    Hi Brian Yes welcome to NZ it is very expensive here we have only 4.5 million people, so some one has to pay for the MP's don't they. For example I can get an milling machine from Australia for $750au + $97au for shipping + import cost ( we have to pay that for any goods that we import over $60nz ) and when you add that up it is still cheaper by $1,000nz if I got it from New Zealand ( work that one out ). Another one for you, a car licence cost about $65nz on top of that we have to pay $459nz ( about ) ACC. Don't get me started Brian ha ha. Denis.

    Hi Alistair Nice to see you back on the log again my friend. Also thank you for the words. Re Titebond, I got it from Carbatec wood working shop just up the road from me, it cost about $26nz for 473 ml . Go on line to www.carbatec.co.nz Hope this helps you. Denis.

    Hi all. This is how the deck was fitted after cutting. Push deck through stern bulkhead frame. Move it along till you get to bulkhead frame 6 from the stern ( or bulkhead frame 2 in the kit ) , now drop it down , you will have to bend it a little to get the deck onto the frames. Now fit the deck. Denis.

    Hi Frank The bulkhead frames were a bit hard to do. I think two of them are a wee bit out of line, I had to cut about 1mm out of the slots on the deck to make it fit. I have put that down to over cutting two of the spacers. Denis.

    Hi Brian I think I took about 1mm off at the bow end to make it fit. Denis.

    Hi Popeye The lower deck is split in half as per kit, but to get it into position you have to cut it half again so you have got 4 parts. The first part to go in is the stern end, you do this by pushing it through the last bulkhead frame at the stern and just past the main mast location then bend it to the lower deck area, then keep pushing it to the bow area. Now it has dropped down to the lower deck area, you then push it back to the stern to make it fit, you do this about a zillion times to get it correct. Then you have got to do it 3 more times ( good fun I like doing this ) but I did dry fit them first before gluing, that I am doing now. I think she is the same as the SoS if that is Big ???. Denis.

    Hi Max If you go to the main page of MSW and scroll down on the right hand side you will see "Byrnes Machine Tools" just click on the link. As I know it they are hand made to order. If you want to see what they look like I have photos on my SoS log. Page 21 is the Table saw. Page 23 is the Disc sander. Page 25 is the Thickness sander. Hope this helps you. Denis.

    Hi all Before I post any more photos etc. I would like to thank Jim of Byrnes Model Machine tools. Without his tools I don't think I could have cut the spacers so accurately. I overcut the spacers on the table saw and finished with the disc sander, all cuts and sanding are dead square. Denis.
  16. DenPink
    Hi All Just a quick update . Started to fit the spacers in between the frames. Denis.

    Hi Well I have dived into the RW box. I have dry fitted the frames, some are a bit loose and will need packing out ( about 0.50 x 5mm ). Denis.

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.
