    I just finished the pilot house.  I paneled it with mahogany planks and added a figure near the ships wheel.

    There is also a light inside to bring your eye to the interior.

    Because i have opened up the area around the engine room  i had to be creative with building crew quarters.   I didnt have much space so I built the illusion windows and space.  I also wanted to continue the brass rail on the interior of the engine room, plus using the green railing where passengers might be veiwing the rocking engine.

    hi Norm i decided to go with the red based on several photos of walking beam engines.  It seems they are either red or green.  they have black edges .

    the victorians were realy into that color scheme.

    If you google walking beam engines you can see several in action quite remarkable.

    Hi I just started posting pictures from my Portland.   I see your in the Dallas area.  I have a daughter in Plano that I visit often.   You have many build to work off .  I added lighting and different window treatment.  I also expanded the opening of the engine room to show its workings.  I hope this gives you some possible ideas to increase the detail.

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.
