    Glad you have the angular turret in the kit. I think the rounded turrets were recovered from old Type 21 Frigates etc. and the angular ones were made new for some of the Type 23s. They were nicknamed the “Kryten” turret, named after the character from Red Dwarf Sci-fi Comedy series.

    Unusual to see a Spitfire with such "prominent" nose art! 😆 Good job Andy!

    Welcome to MSW! As an experienced Fly tyer your seizing and knots should be good for rigging!

    Hi Alan, an interesting subject, I shall be following along. I like the look of the T23’s, very hard working ships, particularly the vital TAPs role they have. Hope your father makes a good recovery and doesn’t cause you any more distractions!

    Looking good Geordie. This is a good thread on gun carriage rigging:- https://modelshipworld.com/topic/21776-carriage-gun-rigging/

    Agreed, your Sherbourne is looking very Smart Dan! 👍

    You are spoiling us Chris, most (if not all other manufacturers) would say "like it or lump it!"
  21. AJohnson
    Thanks all for the "likes" and the kind comments. As a small update, I've been working on the yards, all fairly repetitive stuff so just a couple of sample pictures for where I have got to so far. And yes I have left the most complicated ones until the end! 🙄 - Fore and Main lower and topsail yards, hope to have these done in the next week or so. Thanks for looking in.

    Great work Tom, very busy looking deck, and that is before the masts and boats!
  23. AJohnson
    Intriguing subject Mike, love it!
  24. AJohnson
    Great progress Andy, I have also built this kit last year (just did it out of the box and with the box top scheme decals), a nice little kit and as you have been finding with your two builds of it, it goes together really well. 😁

    Welcome to MSW.

    Interesting you are experimenting on the various blacks to use. I have used "Tenberous Grey" on my HMS Bounty I'm building now; it has a nice warm tone to it that I think suits wood. Also used the "Smoke Black" and "Rubber Black" from AK which can be used for surfaces that receive good illumination to provide some contrast to the more standard dull blacks.

    Outstanding as usual David, looking forward to seeing the masts and yards.

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.
