    Popeye, the railing assembly is always quite a fiddeling session, and when those thin stanchions are bent too often they simply break off. I consider about 5-10% spare when purchasing... Nils

    Michael, in total it must have been appr. 1600 manhours, but not continously building, because the Pamir was pulled up inbetween, whilst the Gorch Fock stood waiting, so that both ships nearly had the same sequence Level and I could do common practice withe the sailmaking, etc... Cheers Nils

    David, when the GF2 log is done I shall have to switch back to online actual-progress-posting. Unfortunately, when I built the live swedish museum Steamer "Bohuslän" I think Digit-cameras were not available at that time, so no pics from that build except for the last stage Fitting out ones. David sorry I did`nt answer the first part of your question..., it took me 1,5 years to make Nils

    Build log part 31 aft deckhouse (command cabin and nav- and Chart-room) and spare aft anchor. the blue guy had always become too much Porridge as a Baby already and now has to leave the Crew for his size chest-cover to sit on, for the auilliary rudder mechanics, here still without wheel some brass pinrails to the deckhouse, and the main rudderstand saddle for the 3 steering wheels, this rudderstand (the wheels) is operated manualy if necessary by up to 6 men the Long boom outside starboard bulwark is swivible and required for fastening the boats in water (when rigged 90° square to the hull). The brass wire through the top spanner-eyelets is only preliminary and prevents the spanners from tilting down between bulwarks and inboard pinrails vents and Skylight added on top of the small well-deckhouse Build log part 32 to follow..... 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.
