    Having made the semi-scale interior cabin details, I decided that the hatches on the 2 companionways as well as the foreward deck hatch should be functional. ie. the hatch can be opened to reveal the steps and a narrow view into the hull below.

    To achieve this, I have installed a small brass hinge on each hatch. Each hinge will locate into a hinge 'beam' -as used on the present full size CA RS1.  The small (non-operating) plastic hinges supplied in the kit will be used, but cut in two so that they will not prevent the hatch from being lifted up. 

    It's this kind of sidetracking that results in my rather long build times. I get some crazy detail idea then take ages to work out the logistics of it, and ages again to produce it! After all that thinking, my brain cell needs a rest before getting on with the build!'

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.
