wonderful job Vivian........I see the red arrow pointing to a mark of sorts.......something you need to do there? I like the looks of the hull.....very nice use of woods to show you how imaginative I yam........I saw the pictures with the paint brushes in the background.....and thought she would make a very nice trawler :D -
nice work with the straps and dead eyes. they look great on the ship
-
I have those same pictures Wayne......I posted them in my log of the United States
-

you've made some good progress......the cap rails look really good. came out really good at the bow. did they instruct you to cut the dowel like that? I'll have to try that one of these days
-
looking very nice Erik.....shaping up quite well. doesn't look like sanding will be that hard to do
-
I like the way you have the gun ports as well. having them even, is an aesthetic way of showing them. it does lend a more life-like look to the ship.....she's a beauty!

I think the rope coils look great......I wouldn't change them I hung my anchors per the instructions. she looks great Kats......nice to see your back to the table!
-
very nice update......though it may not seem like much, there is a tremendous amount of work in air brushing! I think you've tackled the task and handled it quite well very nice indeed!
-
I am quite envious.....such a huge build! I wish I had taken the offer I got when it first came out {deal price}.....but it was still too expensive for my blood your doing a superb job so far Stewart!

Hi Frank this is where it all started....I had done plastic for many years. here I was, happy as a clam, and then this guy Harold throws a Nordkap in my lap! ....and look where that got me :D I should just be happy with the decks and be done with it, but I think it would be much more fun upgrading her. I know I've just been pick'in at her.....I should throw a few sessions at her thanks for the good word Frank. I like armor as well.......I'm a tank nut too!

thanks Sjors.......with the nice weather coming.....I figured I'd start doing a few thing I've been putting off. thanks for the good word! thanks Michael......seeing the work you do.....it gets me thinking I knew I wouldn't need much....the shim 'jig' is probably 1/32 thick. if I can make the shoes so they adjust to the angle, I'll be a happy camper. looking at the metal one....you can see that they can't move. that's what prompted me to try making them. I'll try fixing the metal ones.....one of these days, on another build perhaps thanks for the good word.

hello Steve.......I guess your ahead of me! :D I mentioned earlier that this kit is a spin off of the Connie kit. the differences between them is the transom fascia and the extra parts that you probably found in one of the other bags. I do plan on bringing out the decks and planking them.....the pull is too great. to be honest, I haven't looked that far ahead yet. I took a short pause here to check this out for you. these two pictures should help you.....but I don't usually trust drawings. there are some instances, where they can be a bit inaccurate. I built my first one using the supplied kit parts...I kinda liked the way it looked all rigged. I hope this helps you out to some degree. I should get moving on this bad girl.....I really like these Revell kits......aside from the crappy deck design, they were not bad kit. in their day, they were the best large scale kit that money could buy do you have a log started on her? love to see what you've done......thanks for looking in

-
it's good to see your back.....take care and don't over do
-
it's so good to see her back! your groov'in.......groov'in!

I got that book from Harold, the fella that gave me the Nordkap. he also gave me a couple of other books as well as a stack of modeler magazines. if you follow the book, you'll do Ok.....keep going! looking really good
-
thanks Augie and Mark for the likes thanks John......I have a good model there.....it just lays there, and I copy it :D get the feet fabbed and assembled.....paint and hardware, and I think they'll look rather cool! this one's ready for deck work and stanchions. a little here, and a little there.......as long as it goes in the direction I want it to go :D
-
thanks Frank and Mark for the likes.......I wish there was more here. same goes to you John. when I can finally get the hull back out, there are a few thing I need to change....double check on the deck thickness, and perhaps plank them {I can't get them out of my head}. thanks for looking in......more soon to follow
