    This puts the size in perspective, Scuppers and air filling vents being put in.

    When you see it in person, it's big, but not that big. I have seen bigger, but it's just manageable to turn and handle alone.
  13. Richard Dunn
    Well the plate distortion is not visible in primer as you need some gloss for it to show but the weld beads are nearly done and the hull is primed to 600 grit , the portholes are all masked at the moment, all the running gear is hooked up and the prop shafts and props are almost ready to install for good. Some superstructure elements are removed for now of course.

    If I was to roughen 25mm of tube would it fully illuminate like a tube light? or would it just be a dimmer light with most being at the end?
  15. Richard Dunn
    Thanks but I don't need to know how to model them, I am a professional 3d modeller. just how to simulate a tube of light inside
  16. Richard Dunn
    I am hoping to start a disscussion on ways of building convincing working light types for larger scale models. I want to start with Flourescent tubes at 1/35, has anyone got any suggestions or experiance with making such thing? To be more specific is their a way to have a long skinny lightsource like a tube? or would it just have to be faked with the usual diodes?. Something along these lines
  17. Richard Dunn
    The model will have some big updates soon and is well and truely on track for a launch date on the 14th July,, exactly 60 years to the day as the launch of the real ship on July 14th 1965 All running gear is installed, thrusters, props, motors, rudders etc. just a few planks to address and some glassing and sealer/primer and we are good to go

    I have started a facebook page for this 2 days ago as well, as it covers the history of the ship as much as the model. Feel free to join, it's public. This is because I have been getting inundated with new info lately from facebook as its obviously easier to find for non modellers. https://www.facebook.com/groups/586060487227286

    This is resolved now thanks, I only need to repair this to the instruction standard, I worked on the real ships restoration so dont need to go to deep.
  20. Richard Dunn
    Because as I said this is a repair not a build and its a 30 year old model built by a relative, I cant alter it.
  21. Richard Dunn
    If anyone in Australia has these left over I need them for a repair I have been given after a parrot flew into it on the shelf(no case). 8 of the sails have split in half.
  22. Richard Dunn
    I have been given this model to repair, it fell a long way off a shelf and require the rigging instruction to help. If anyone could provide this it would be awesome. EDIT I may have found them if someone could confirm this is all of it for me https://cuttysarkdrydock.wordpress.com/2011/09/23/the-cutty-sark-rigging-sheets/

    Nice build, and an interestng subject with lots of lovely drawings, the spirketting board being wider forward threw me on the deck plankng drawing.
  24. Richard Dunn
    A slight delay in progress again, I have been asked to build another shell of this ship at same scale in a much simpler way so currenty framing that up while mine sits in our hallway in the house. Thank gawd for wide hallways....

    I had never thought of it like that, I guess in a way it is the same thing

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.
