    Hi Mike, no I have not started it yet, not brave enough! I have looked over it a few times and like you seen the “traps” (resin) and the good parts (P.E.). The resin seems awful delicate, as well as not very “clear” and i’m still puzzling how to get some parts out of the blocks still looking identifiable. Some are so small even if you did get them out successfully they would look like “blobs” if more than a few molecules of glue used! I will however try to build it as an experiment, as I fortunately got mine from an eBay charity shop for £20! So not much to lose by using it as a learning experience. Also the WW1 “dazzle” camo! 😳

    Wonderful work Mike, you and Alan with your 1/700s are geniuses!

    Not many updates recently, but the yards are all pretty similar and not very photogenic with my phone camera, so I have not done multiple updates of similar looking stuff. But good news - the end of the yard(s) construction is here! 😁 Nothing for it now but to get down to starting the rigging over the Christmas holidays. I will be spending a long time studying plans and the AOTS book first! Thanks for looking in and the likes. 👍

    Looks wonderful Ian, such an interesting looking model.
  27. AJohnson
    Well, if you hadn’t told us Geordie, we wouldn’t have known! 😆 Good save! 😉
  28. AJohnson
    A capsized Victory can still style it out! (Looks good so far!) 😉 anyway, welcome to MSW!

    Good luck Chris with this new step in the evolution of Vanguard Models. 👏

    Excellent finish Andy. I know, as some have said on here, clipped wing Spitfires are not to everyone’s taste, so it is nice to see one done.
  33. AJohnson
    Welcome to MSW!

    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.
  35. AJohnson
    Unusual to see a Spitfire with such "prominent" nose art! 😆 Good job Andy!
  36. AJohnson
    Welcome to MSW! As an experienced Fly tyer your seizing and knots should be good for rigging!

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.
