    Totally agree with the above comments, it'd be a real shame to hide your hard work. Was this an early tank? I ask because it has a very primitive look about it. Looks good though!

    Thank you nzreg and Scrubby, and thanks for the likes. I spent a couple of hours on the roofs, shaping and tiling them. I painted them in tamiya rubber black as it not jet black, and drybrushed with dark grey. on to scraping the fancy moldings. Thanks for looking in. Cheers

    Wow! Great work at that scale Gabe!! It'll be well worth the effort with the end result.

    This boat was built by the man who built a lot of the fishing boats in Sheringham, and was commissioned to build this lifeboat by the Upcher Family. He based it on the very successful fishing boats used, as it was a private lifeboat, not crewed by RNLI, who had their own craft a little way south, but by the fishermen themselves, so they would have known how to handle this type of boat. Thanks for your interest, any input, comments and lifeboat info is happily welcomed. Cheers

    So, the QGs are progressing, with some very cautious ungluing and re-gluing, the windows are so fragile 😳 I'm totally in awe of everyone who's already done this part, and made it look effortless. the roof is not glued on, just placed on to see. the opposite side is better, and with a touch of colour. I have several areas of planking, mainly between the gunports that have been, or need removing, mostly like the two in the above photo. But I'm moving forward on the build😊 thanks for the likes and looking in. Cheers

    Very nice rendition of a familiar subject, the display area is perfect, and bravo for hanging in with the model, I admit the card ones beat me😉

    It's coming to life! Looking excellent so far OC. Your pile of casualties is great, some very intricate brushwork.

    Quarter galleries are started, I'm so glad I purchased the laser cut parts for this chapter😊 note to self is do more dry fits before gluing 🙄 some sanding to do, but I'm pleased with myself upto now😉 Honestly though most credit must go to Chuck's very detailed instructions! Thanks for looking in, the likes and comments. Cheers

    Your planking is coming along absolutely gorgeously. You'll soon be starting chapter 3 and then I can follow your example.

    Hi, planking the HRU is still ongoing. The port side is almost done, starboard 3/4 done. I've fitted one bulwark bench so I can make up the side to the cap rail. There is an flotation aid to fix to the hull, roughly at the area where the wales would be on a ship. It may be a while before the next update as I'm back working on Winchelsea as well. Many thanks for the likes, all encouragement is greatly appreciated. Cheers

    Hi, I started the stern by dry fitting the transom, the whole thing didn't line up🤔🤨and I decided to throw it away and cut a new one. I did not cut any of the windows into the new version. With the mk2 clamped to the stern, I marked where the windows go and cut 1.5mm inside the line it lines up better a bit of tweaking here and there, plus the roundels and arch windows to cut out. I'm happier🙃 thanks for the likes and all. Cheers

    Mine too, that and the Peninsular Campaign battlefields. It must be just down the road from you Patrick 😊

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.
