    1:500 now pretty much finished. Just need some screw covers - it used 2 x 12mm M4 Cap head bolts and 1 x 30mm - Will put it on Makerworld shortly. 1:1000 and 1:500 QM2 With my more detailed 1:500 Queen Victoria. with P&O Iona and Arvia 1:500 Timelapse of final 6 hr section. video_2025-10-03_16-48-50.mp4 Overview IMG_8415.MOV

    Thanks for the suggestion - I've never know what the best scale is for the bigger models - 1:200 definitely possible - might do that instead of 1:250 - because whilst it would be nice to have a 1:250 to compare with my Arvia model (in background - with Arvia and Iona 1:500 above any below)

    Deck11 now complete on 1:500 model - Also making a start on the 1:250 version - taking detail up quite a lot First single colour test print worked fairly well - interesting to compare the sizes of the 3 scales. 1:1000, 1:500 detail level 1:250 detail level S
  16. Dave Wood
    With Queen Victoria and P&O Arcadia (which was originally built as QV). - All at same 1:500 scale - with 1:1000 QM2 at the front.
  17. Dave Wood
    Quite good progress made today on 1:500 version.
  18. Dave Wood
    First few parts completed - its amazing how much bigger the 1:500 model parts look than the 1:1000. Much easier to see the detail.
  19. Dave Wood
    Making a start now on the 1:500 version - probably about 48hrs worth of printing to do - on 2 printers (H2D and X1C). First plates on each now underway.
  20. Dave Wood
    Improved more detailed 1:1000 version now pretty much complete. Printed partly at 0.4mm resolution and partly at 0.2mm. Next stage is the scale everything up by 2x - to get the same print at 1:500 scale - will do the whole print at 0.4mm resolution (0.4mm nozzle).

    Finally back to reprinting the corrected details - detail is so small printer is having a bit of trouble - so having to enlarge some parts. Deck 7 needs to be reprinted due to failed stairs (8 hr print) S Having a bit of trouble with deck 12 rear Ship yard (on multi headed SV08 - which is currently not ready for this sort of print) - using H2D and X1Cs at the moment
  22. Dave Wood
    Various tweaks made to design to make it closer to the real ship Most complex was funnel shape. New design at top, real ship middle, previous design below

    Comparison between draft model and real ship
  24. Dave Wood
    2nd run worked almost perfectly - Timelapse included in this video Supports a bit hard to remove - so probably easier to print it in parts - but still pretty pleased at how the print came out
  25. Dave Wood
    First full multi colour print ultimately failed due to incorrect gaps between the spars and the supports - that I think were introduced when I sliced off the sails for printing separately. Errors corrected, plus a few more stabilisers added. Short Timelapse showing the failed print attached in case it is of interest. https://youtube.com/shorts/-zQjY5tjEkU?si=aOISvMHEPT9lEw5r

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.
