    Hi Keith, thanks for your nice comment, stern anchor what for ?.... I`m sure that the answers are to be found in the four explanations adopted from the web. http://www.sail-world.com/Australia/Stern-anchors-and-four-reasons-you-should-have-one/58641?source=google.de with the stern anchor, if set correctly, it would be possible to position the stern in a way that the ship would lay more steady, and its passengers would not suffer sea sickness through rolling motions of the ship Nils

    Hello Oystein, kees, Dan and Greg, Oystein, thanks for your comment, I`m not sure if it is mandatory, I read it somewhere in the web thatmultiple screw vessels would bear this sort of warning, but maybe the answer may come out of the fellow membership.... I can remember that the former twin screw "Union Castle liner" I once travelled on had these signs on boards at the aft railing Kees, many thanks for your words,...... no contact on that behalf yet... Dan, thank you for your kind comments,..... This "Hobby Lobby" web shop has several different stud link chains. The search kriteria in German is " Stegkette" anchorchain http://www.hobby-lobby-modellbau.com/onlineshop/index.php/cat/c494_Ankerketten.html Greg I know, but the international maritime language is Enlish and the slogan of Norddeutscher Lloyd is / was "Our Field is the World" in sense of presence and trade. Mabe the warning could have been in German language, but to those concerned, (skippers of small craft, captains of passenger tenders, tug captains, etc, in and around ports, English was best understandible and international known Also thanks to the "likes" Nils

    Update... today added the aft anchoring gear, the sloped rail for the stud chain, the capstan with chain gypsy and the deck gear-housing. also a tying bollart to secure the chain and the downward chain lead back tube through the deck The bottom portions of all vents are not painted yet, because the hight may need to be adjusted in hight Nils

    Good morning Greg, thanks for your nice words, and for looking deep into the KWdG build log recently. I`m very pleased that the small scaled details are liked. Regarding to your buggering health issues I`m so sorry that you are having these issues and wish you all the best from my side at the other side of the globe. Enjoy reading and commuting at this wonderful, international forum. Nils

    many thanks to Michael - Keith - Johann - Albert - Jeff - John - Carl - Tom, for all your compliments and comments... and also to all the "likes" for clicking in... Michael, still so much to do, when I think ahead of all the filigrane structures along with the command bridge and the related decks, stairways, platforms, boats and railings Keith, for level of detail I stop when the tiny parts are getting of too thin stucture, for example the railing in scale 1:144 is about bottom limit... and very sensitive to destortion at every touch Johann, thanks fpor your nice comment Albert, thanks very much, I`m trying to implement some pf the typical, characteristic details of this ship, such like with the plating and the props, and decore Jeff, Thanks for your nice comment John, yes, I thought it would be interesting to present both versions Carl, I saw this question arising since I posted that update, ..... but they are are lucky to have Sven, the donkey-man, and his assistant amoungst the deck crew, he manages to play his steam winches and load beams like others play piano. It takes him 5 min. for carefully opening / closing the companionway tops, without crushing his fingers (closing only if bad weather is expected) Tom, thanks for your nice compliment.... still too early to plan the next project, there is still so much to do with this one.... Nils

    raw cabin is looking fantastic Bob, you must be paying attractive wages to your shipyard workers.... good progress and tidy work Nils
  12. Mirabell61
    Update... companionways from boatsdeck down to promenade deck. Here the port side is weather locked, whilst the stb side gives way to the stair leading down Nils due to the design (flap back top) it is not necessary to have full standing hight, and also as the stair immediatey leads downwards. Here the "hinges" on the lid are not mounted yet

    Hi Mark, interesting project this ship, when was the actual ship built ? and at what scale will the model be ? In your second pic of post # 1 the plan view looks like a waterline model (overview of the hull with flat bottom) Wishing you much fun with this build.... Nils
  19. Mirabell61
    Update.... aft mast, the two load beams (connected to mast) and the two stand alone load beams, flag post.... Nils mast with most of the fastening points for rigg and blocks and belaying pins, the beams are still unpainted
  20. Mirabell61
    awesome metal work and fixtures Gerald, will those tools be multipurpose for other ships frame making as well ? Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    thanks Denis, so that solved the riddle of the railing shape,.... Think I´ll go for the aft mast loading beams and the masts rigging next, also for the aft anchor chain guide devices and the appropriate winch, and the flag post Nils

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.
