Hello from the banks of the Tyne
Geordie Tyne replied to Geordie Tyne's topic in New member Introductions
Thank you, Andrew. I am glad to be here. Regards -
Hello Maid of the Mist. Hi Maid of the Mist. I recently picked up a copy of Figureheads of the Royal Navy by David Pulvertaft published by Seaforth Publishing. I have looked for Beagle after seeing your latest post. I don't believe I can post a picture from the book, however I hope I can still be of some help with regards to the look of the figurehead as displayed in the book. The book shows that Beagle was given the fore-part of a beagle as her figurehead. It also states as you have said above, that there is some debate as to whether Beagle had a figurehead after she was converted to survey work in 1825. (Below, my poor rendition of what I can see in the book) I don't know whether this helps you or not. I hope it does, however I apologise if I have taken unnecessary space from your build log. Here is a link to the mentioned book - https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Figureheads-of-the-Royal-Navy-Hardback/p/3199 Regards

Hello John, Thank you for the warm welcome. Regards Geordie -
Welcome to my build log for HM Adder by Vanguard Models. This is my third ship and I have already started it. I apologise for presenting a build log that will not cover the start of construction. Before I go any further, I must extend my gratitude to @Glenn-UK, @DB789 and @ECK for their fantastic build logs which have helped me with my build so far. Here is Adder where she currently stands. Any and all advice is welcome. Bulwark patterns have been glued in place with watered down PVA (Occre PVA). After 24 hours, I removed all bulkhead tabs and sanded down using 240 grit sand paper. Using a tip from @Glenn-UK build log. I made a template of Adders deck to check the fit of my engraved deck. After adjusting the engraved deck, I then glued (PVA) and clamped it in place. Here ends my first build log post. Thank your for taking the time to read it. Regards Geordie

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.
