    At last finished the rebuilt of the 3rd deck state-room, so can now proceed further. Next step will be to add the wheelhouse, afterwhich I will glue the 3rd deck in place. According to the parts list ramin wood 1x5x10 mm is needed to create the steps of the stairs. No wood with such dimensions in the kit, so have to do some shopping first. Regards, John

    With the windows in, it will look so different. Those holes always look awful like a wreckage. Regards, John

    Have finished the second deck state-room ventilation windows and am still busy with the restauration of the third deck state-room. Will close the gap between the ventilation windows and the third deck lateron with a stroke of walnut veneer. I donot have the courage for another attempt to get the needed curve. Regards, John

    Thanks Sjors, I think the pictures published are from a customized ship and not from confection as supplied in the kit. It is as going on holidays, you never see those beautiful girls from the holiday brochure . Regards, John

    Thanks Adrieke, however I was not able to bend the right curve to fit to the third deck. The weakness to do so are the window separators, they cannot hold the tension and at last I ended up with the mess I caused. Since I donot have to be able to remove this part I now choose for the simple way as done by Wim, namely by placing a stroke walnut veneer to close the gap between the ventilation windows and the deck. Thanks for help thinking. Regards, John

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.
