    Hi Daniel - thanks for the comment - much appreaciated. Hi Derek - Thanks, we don't have much in the way of model shops in Jersey so I have to source everything online. For the netting I used some old net curtains and painted them black. Attaching them was not difficult just a bit tedious. I hear what you say about catching them on my arm - between the hammock cranes and the boomkins disaster can't be far away ! Cheers Yon

    Hi Romarie Thanks for putting your pictures back up. At times I can't understand the instructions at all so only by looking at the other logs can I begin to understand what is required. Cheers Yon

    Hi Rosmarie, Mark and Mort Thanks for looking in - the site is slowly returning to normal with all the familiar builders getting their logs back up. Over the last 4 days I've been busy on my build mainly around the waist with the ladders & hand rails, Barricade, Brest beam and main companionway. I even had a go at the netting for hammocks which I think turned out OK. Here are some pictures Cheers all Yon

    Hi David I forgot to mention on my log that I did not use the brass profile. I tried heating it up as per the instructions but it was far too tough to bend it to the required angle. If you can get the beach strip to bend enough without breaking then that would be a better solution. I used styrene strip which was easily shaped but, of course, you have to have some lying around ! Anyway, good luck with the catheads. I'm currently making up the waiste steps and hand rails. I'm thinking of leaving the galleries until I've finished the quarterdeck fittings and the poop. Right now I think I need a break as I've been working on my Victory 3 days solid and barely been outside - its becoming a bit of an obsession !! Cheers Yon

    OK so I've registered a new account and I'll now post some of the pictures I have at this location that were in my build log. I hope fellow CC Victory builders do the same as the help of their logs was invaluable. I'm going to try and post 5 pictures per post

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.
