    That is an interesting way of storing references to different parts of other build logs - something to ponder 👍

    Happy Birthday!

    Congratulations. A great model and a wonderfully inspiring build log.

    It looks like you are off to a good start. I hope the fairing is going well. I'm just starting the rigging on my model and I have enjoyed every minute of the construction so far - it is a great kit👍

    Absolutely awesome.

    Looks like a good start. I will enjoy following on with your log.

    It looks fantastic!

    Welcome! 😃

    Hello and welcome. Hobbytools.com.au sell some Model Shipway kits so it might be worth checking them out. They are based in Victoria. There is also modellerscentral.com an online store based in NSW. They have a wide range of kits and accessories from a good selection of different overseas companies so getting an kit from a store based here might be an easier way around the international postage and customs thing? It may not be the cheapest way though...?

    Looking very good Thukydides. I also bought the serving machine to use on this build so I'll be interested to see how you go with it. 👍

    The hull painting looks great to me 👍I hope mine turns out so well!

    Hi Thukydides, Looking forward to hearing more about the painting process. I have seen that some people on the forum don't apply WOP to hulls before painting and others do..... what are the pros and cons of either way? I guess the WOP seals the wood to an extent?? Thanks

    That is great looking work PhillH and a useful detailed explanation of your thinking and processes.

    So glad to see you are continuing with this build Bob. I'm going to be relying heavily on this log when I start my Pen Duick later this year!

    That could be it. I was only using the kit supplied planks and so the margin planks wouldn't be deep enough to cut the joggles in easily if I had had tucked them under the bulwarks - at least that was my thinking.
  16. jpalmer1970
    Hi, I planked the whole bulwarks and then butted the margin plank up against them. I was able to bend a couple of the boxwood strips to use as the margin planks.

    Hi Thukydides, Great painting! I planked the inner bulwarks and painted them before installing my margin planks. The bulwarks may need a bit of a paint touch up when the deck is finally finished but that will hopefully be easier than painting the whole lot later. I am also considering adding a line of spirketting too if I can source some suitable wood.

    This is incredibly fantastic work and very inspirational ! I look forward to following the rest of your build 👍

    Hi Bob, Yes it is the AL kit. It is this year's Xmas present but it will be a while before I get started on it. I'll be borrowing heavily from your build log and those others on here given how sparse the AL instructions are. I'll get a copy of the rigging book by John Leather and maybe Leo will even have more helpful information about the TallyHo in his rebuild videos.
  20. jpalmer1970
    That was great. I'll certainly have a look at the other videos on that channel as I think they may be very helpful in understanding a lot more about my next build, the Pen Duick Thanks for the link.

    It is looking very good - some ingenious work constructing the transom there.
  22. jpalmer1970
    No I didn't see the extra pieces, and they will be even less noticeable once everything is painted. You can always call them 'port linings' if anyone does quibble about them 😀
  23. jpalmer1970
    This looks great Thukydides. The transom does seem to be a very tricky area of the build. Even if the counter is positioned at the correct height, the transom does seem to need a little more area at the base to bring the bottoms of the ports above the deck planking level. I think my counter is too low anyway so I will need to fill a gap at the bottom of the transom. Your scratch built transom is looking great and I look forward to seeing the next steps.

    I found a fairly local to me plastics / acrylic fabricator. They make the perspex sneeze guards etc we see all around us now post covid, but they can also do other items and shapes including display cases. I had them make me a perspex case but without a base and then found my own piece of wood to use as a base. A lot cheaper, better and quicker than me making the whole thing myself!

    I look forward to seeing the rest of your log 👍

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.
