    Ship with some of its earlier prototypes before they are melted down - see this video for details of how I recycle my old prints.

    Some time lapses of the 3d prints
  15. Dave Wood
    After correct colour masts added and initial cleanup. Will probably do a version will fuller sails, plus might even create a 1943 'grey' version. Pictured with rest of 3d printed 1:250 fleet
  16. Dave Wood
    Almost complete -
  17. Dave Wood
    Multi Colour print now ready to start. Will print masts and sails separately - as otherwise the colour changes between white and brown will take almost 2 days. 50% printed
  18. Dave Wood
    After some improvements to the supports back half printed almost perfectly. Not sure whether to rig it with thread or wire - looks quite nice with LED light strings.
  19. Dave Wood
    First complete print - still a bit messy - but getting closer In printer Up closer For scale - size comparison with P&O Arvia 1:250
  20. Dave Wood
    Print came out fairly well - but a few tweaks required Masts swayed a bit while printing - so going to try to see if some temporarily horizontal stabilisers help too
  21. Dave Wood
    Supports now applied to all sails, and ship now properly split into 2 sections for printing single colour at a scale of 1:250. Next step is a single colour test print of the rear half.
  22. Dave Wood
    Making progress on Sea Cloud 3d print - initial single colour attempt at 3d print (without enough supports). Adding some custom supports seems to have fixed the issue
  23. Dave Wood
    came across the rest of the Sea Cloud fleet in Lanzarote last week (while on Cunard Queen Victoria) - Sea Cloud Spirit See Cloud 2 From Queen Victoria (pictured in Madeira with one of my other models)
  24. Dave Wood
    Has been wrestling with what to do about the ropes - whether to 3d print them etc. - Decided in the first instance to try making them out of copper wire led strings - The wires are doubled up and are about 0.25mm diameter - with the led's about 100mm apart. Should like quite good hopefully. Example render attached. Day time Night time
  25. Dave Wood
    Not afraid not whoever that is.
  26. Dave Wood
    Fair bit more progress on the some of the deck stuff and decoration

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.
