    Update As a workship she is getting a a plain steel-metal deck on forecastle, poop and both welldecks instead of planking decks Nils

    beautiful boat Samson, well done restoration, will she sail on a pond again ? Nils

    Phil and John, many thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated.... Update before doing the fore- and aft welldecks, I need to position the hatch-sides of the 4 holds. The bulwarks will be attached after these decks are on and trimmed to fit the inner bulwark sides Nils the waterline is marked...., the depth of the original is 23 foot, that makes 7 cm here on the 1:87 scale aft the waterline is at the same level as th top of the prop outcut the foremast will fit in downwards to the keel socket between the two front hatch covers

    Update Started with the raw deck stringers and made a card template for the Stb. aft welldeck bulwark. the bulwarks will be made from 1,5 mm thick beechwood ply Nils

    excellent work Richard, its a pleasure to watch the progress Nils

    Andy, thanks very much for your comment, I also thought already that these truss-masts have no relevance with the ships function and shall leave them away on the model ... Here also a quick shot of the prop, the raw rudder, heel arrangement Nils a bit of brass square bar 5 x 5 mm takes the end of the rudder shaft and gives good reinforcement during further handling the upper downholder device prevents the shaft from slipping out of the socket in the heel

    I have a question to my MSW fellow-builders..... does anyone know what these strange looking steel pillars (see pics) on the boats deck are meant to be for ? Perhaps its only a support for something when doing the movie Nils

    OMG, I can feel with you B.E. after that crash, but now your putting in all your experience and skill to mend it well,head up.... Nils

    Hi NavyShooter, congrats to your fine Liberty Ship model. It is amazing what is possible with your 3D printing device, guess you have already good experience with that method. In all well done ! Nils

    Update I`ve taken her off the building base today, to preliminary fit the stand, pedestals and spindles and have a first look at the inside. All looks OK so far. The raw hull is very light, and now easier to handle Nils the planking throughout is only 1,5 mm thick, here after scraping job for the bow section shape I do need some filler, here prior to sanding the fine tuning of the aft heel area is still to be done the first look at the inside shows all is properly in place the standplate and its fastening per M5 stainless steel spindles

    looking great Maurino, i like the sailor with the barrel, where did you find him ? what is the scale Nils
  15. Mirabell61
    wonderful details and performance Patrick, all in the same spendid manor like your previous models .... Nils

    Many thanks for your kind comments Druxey, Ian and Patrik Nils

    Update She is 87 cm long and the shape is that of an good old heritage steamer of 1918 The planking is going on quite well, I`m down to and already around the bilge bend on both sides .... My small model building room, for the more rough work, needs some tidying up afterwards Nils I started a bit of scraping job with hardened scraping plates, it works well when carefully taking off wee "flakes" of the thin planking, and still it may take a bit of one-component filler to smoothen out in certain places only
  18. Mirabell61
    looks very good B.E. Nils
  19. Mirabell61
    very nice model DB789 well done ! Nils
  20. Mirabell61
    Thank you Gary, its a long and weary deal with the rather thin planking, and I`m looking for a suitable light filler ...... Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    Very impressing build Okesa Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    Update it could go swifter with the planking, but the glue takes its time to cure out well Nils around the bilge bend the planking will be more tricky prop, -sleeve- and shaft are fitted in
  23. Mirabell61
    very nice Eberhard, I like the simulated water and the wakes Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    excellelant work Freeks, that looks really nice, also together with the davits Nils
  25. Mirabell61
    Great diagonal Karweel plaking 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.
