@Dulrakk Great review, I saw the comment (linked below) from Chris on his thread and the issue looks like it happened to your deck.

Looks like you’re off to a good start! I’m so impressed with people who can juggle multiple builds; for better or worse I find that I can only focus on one thing at a time (but darn if some other kits in the garage aren’t calling my name every time I walk out there). Looking forward to seeing what you do with this build.

Thanks and I'm certain that you're right. It wasn't a deep stain so I was able to scrape some off gently with the back of an #11 blade, but I'm not doing anything further to ensure that I don't make things worse in an attempt to make them better. Thanks OC, appreciate it!

I ended up buying the hinge PE set by Mathos Models (I picked up both A and B sets so I can "always be prepared") and I think they worked out well. Unfortunately the bolts became much harder to see after blackening (I assume this is a shadow thing) and I made a CA glue stain (which thankfully is less noticeable no than when I took these pictures). The well and shot locker goes back into storage while I frame out the lower deck.

Small update - oakheart helped me debug an issue (thank you!) where the PDF creation was taking longer than the timeout value specified and did not actually create the file. I have updated the releases to incorporate the change. Apologies that I still haven't gotten around to getting the releases signed - life can be unexpected and full sometimes. -
Thanks - very glad to be making some saw dust again! That's a good idea, I'll take a look. The hinges that are drawn (and I've seen on other builds) are usually T Hinges. I actually did stumble across a sheet of 1/35 photo etch hinges for dioramas by a company called Mathos Models that I may buy and see if they'll work (but then my nemesis "blackening" rears it's head 😂). I'm finding some other things (from railroad modelers as well) that could work if I don't end up fabricating them myself.

After a considerable time away from the shipyards I found some motivation recently and have been plugging away at the ship's well and have almost completed it. I didn't take photographs of the progress, but I built up each of the 4 sides and then glued the sides together as square as I could. What I'm currently struggling with is how to make the hinges. I don't think my metalwork is at a point when I can fabricate them so I'm currently leaning towards using black card and pondering how to give the pin some depth. I have a little bit of time to ponder it though because I realized I build the lower deck beams incorrectly (confused width and depth) and need to remake them (about halfway done with them so I better get on the hinge decision before I start scouring the web for PE sheets that could solve the issue for me).

NRG, MSB, SIS flash drives
VTHokiEE replied to bushman32's topic in NAUTICAL RESEARCH GUILD - News & Information
I picked up the NRG usb drive. The menu system didn’t work with my standard pdf viewer but worked with Adobe Reader. When I opened the menu pdf through Adobe Reader and clicked the issues I had to allow it permissions to open the associated files. Hope that helps! -
Doh! I knew I was missing something - @tlevine thank you so much. Once I hit the planking between decks and the upper deck framing I thought that I had gone too far. Really appreciate it (and really need to re-read everything through).

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.
