    looks realistic to me!

    I got the stage and its boom done and its rigging attached. I attached the cranks. pitman arms and paddle wheel which I had built previously.

    I attached the permanent rigging for both the stacks and the mast. I also installed the whistle and flue stack

    I got the stacks permanently installed and I am starting on the rigging for them.

    Thank you very much! It doesn't always look this way! I got the hog chains installed. Starting work on the smoke stacks and insignia .

    I finished the mast and boom but I think I'll wait to install them permanently until I've got the stacks in place. I went ahead and installed the braces for the wheel house.
  22. joep4567
    I started working on the knuckle joint for the boom and had the water shields for the stacks from styrene.

    I've been working on the bow. I attached the elevated sideboards ( I don't know what they are actually called). The bitts and capstan are finished and attached. I've started work on the mast.
  24. joep4567
    Thanks very much for your kind comment.
  25. joep4567
    Eric it has inconsistent spacing and slats which are probably too wide ( although making the slats narrow would probably cause a different set of problems) and it is just kind of messy. I do think I could do a little better if I was to try again but then I don't know for certain.
  26. joep4567
    I got the handrailing done. It didn't turn out as well as I would have liked but it is what it is. On to the bow.
  27. joep4567
    what you've done so far looks really nice to me

    I'm working on the hand railing.

    I based the length of these trusses on a drawing in Alan Bates book This drawing was in the first few pages of the book but I can't say what page or figure number as i don't have it with me right now. That is to say no real reason other than his drawing ( i may shorten the middle one a bit) . I built a jig from which I'm building the boiler deck handrail so i'm wanting to complete it and a few other things before i go back to the chains.

    I finished the chain trusses but i think i'll wait to install the chains themselves until some other things are completed. I may shorten the center truss but i'm going to wait to make that decision.

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.
