    Welcome on board John, and thanks for your kind compliment, much appreciated...... I`m often looking at old pics and photographs of the ship, life on its decks, etc. , to find out some of the details... Nils

    Thank you very much Denis, Michael and Bob Nils

    Thank you very much Denis, and B.E. for you kind comments... the nearly midship bridge platform goes over the whole ship width and allows a good sight alongsides for the crew (and passengers). There still needs to be the upper railing attached and the platform fitted out. The dark grey horizontal tank with the two vents on top, is the one for daily warm water and is heated by exhaust gasexchanger of the second funnel On the platform where the tank is standing on, there are brought in 4 interlocked eyelets with counter flat heads from below to take up some of the appropriate funnel stays safely Also many thanks to all the "Likes" Nils

    very nice work Ferit, the small fracture with the upper mainmast, will be relatively easy to mend, after doing so you will be happy with your beautiful ship again .... Nils

    Thank you very much Johann, Nils

    Thank you Patrick, it was indeed a little mass production (37 ea.) of tiny square brass plates and square windowframes, and soldering these together, but I think the effort was worth it.... Nils

    Thank you very much Albert, NIls

    Update.... handrail for deck housing and halfround light shaft dome windows... Nils

    Hi Karl, can full understand why you have chosen to build this model. The introducing pics are so fantastic and inspiring, wonderful lines of the ship and a "must" to get started with it..... Nils

    Thank you so much Greg, John and Patrick, for your nice words and compliments, Very much appreciated.... Nils

    small update.... this little structure sits up on the boats deck between 2 nd. and 3 rd. funnel. This is the position where the large 1 st class dining lounge is situated over several decks across the whole width of the ship, because here no stackshafts interfere with the dining area. The half round stucture will be modeled to the light dome of the dining lounge comprising about 30 single little "glassed" frames Nils

    A nice word Greg, thanks very much... Nils

    Many thanks Bill, Denis and Jeff, Bill, you`re so right, the Auger is the one for rough timber, thanks for your advise to clear and withdraw the bit. (avoid to get stuck ) I`ll save it up if I ever need to build a log-cabin in the woods Denis, yes, I`m very pleased with that tool.... Jeff, so now there has been found a good solutíon... Nils

    Update.... outcome of the 25 mm hole drilling trials... today I had a pleasant surprise with the fresh received new drilling crown. I had to try it out straight away, and am very pleased with the results.... Nils good quality tool the center drill with the (threaded9 adapter can take up diam 14 to 30 mm, drill crowns cut at 10° angle, no problem with the center drill function smooth hole sides, no breaking out at surfaces
  20. Mirabell61
    Update... stuctures on the boats deck, and always considering the deck curvature over the width Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    Hi Bob, Thanks for your nice input here..... you seem to be reading my mind, that was also my (up the sleeve solution) if the other do`nt work like intended.... Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    Thanks for your kind reccomendation Jeff, I have`nt done any fuirther trials on that behalf yet, but shall give feedback on outcome later on... Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    Thanks Carl, it was just my thought to slip the funnel tubes over a safely enbedded dowel which fits the inside diam. of the tube smoothly. That should privide a very rigid connection that could also withstand gentle "accidential" knocking against the funnels without doing any harm (like perhaps overstressing the funnel stays) Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    Excellent work Juzek, a wonderful start and good handcraft work ! Nils
  25. Mirabell61
    Beautiful work Alexander, your build log is a treat to study...... 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.
