David, I`m very pleased you like the model, still quite a way to go... Piet, hope you had no hurricane related damages.... and thanks for your nice words, I saw you had a good catch up on the model`s progress Nils

    thank you very much Jeff, I also love visible figurines on deck for the same reason as you do. For this project I have been collecting over weeks and months crew members, officers, and (seated, standing, walking) passengers in period fashions, these will be placed in the appropriate decks and places on board.

    Hi B.E. many thanks for your kind compliment..., in the moment its taking quite some time to get these little things together, but in the meantime..... If you wish, and for those who are also interested in the present status, so to say what has been done since keellaying in June last year, here some illustrations I picked out.... Nils

    Hi Steve and Bob, thanks for your nice comments, Steve, yes, by concentrating on little sections it provides rusher results, and a better feeling that something got done, and so by and by the total progress can be seen Bob, in opposite to the forecastledeck the railings were not soldered on, but only fastened per CA, because I remember having trouble with the elonggation of copper versa brass when soldering the railings to the bottom base rail. I first tried to bend a L-profile to the curve pattern but gave this up very quickly and used solid brass bar 1 x 1,5 mm. thanks also to all the "likes" for clicking on... Nils

    Thank you very much Albert and Carl, for your nice compliments Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    Hi Michael, perhaps, if of use for you, here two suggestions..... cable cord: I use very flexible control wire for flying wire control model aircraft in two different diam. one line is 0,3 mm OD and consisting of 7 strands ( each 0,1 mm) of tin galvanized steel wire. this can be easy and durable soft soldered and secured with mini metal beads The other line is 0,5 mm OD and consisting of 19 strands ( each 0,1 mm) of tin galvanized steel wire. this can be easy and durable soft soldered and secured with mini metal beads Lifeboats: here is a sample in scale 1:100 appr. 86 mm long, for an open lifeboat with rimm and seats, its plastic, but when painted has a good appeal.... (they come 5 a pack for a very reasonable price) Nils

    Hi Michael, I`m following your restoration with great interest, for its not only showing your progress in work, but here and there also a little glimpse at how the builders made it. I wish you that you keep up with the drive and pace and turn the "Albertic" to new blossom for display again. I also have many over 10 years old Humbrol paints, but most of them have dried out although the cans were closed..... Nils

    thats going tobe a very fine boat Mike, love the shape. I would also arrange for holes and secure fastening points for the pedestals at this stage... 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.
