What??? Who told you to put your model on hold? Seems a bit of a shame, really, but I'm sure it was well intentioned advice. I would've perservered and just kept going. It's amazing what you can learn as you go. Anyhow, hopefully you'll be able to get back to it. We'll all be here to offer you help and support. Have a great Xmas and New Year. Cheers Patrick

Thanks and your proposed model sounds great! I'm looking forward to that. Hopefully you're going to start a build log so that we can all enjoy following your progress?

What a great idea and thanks for the suggestion. I'm not quite sure how that'd work in practice as it would mean that each deck would have to slide across on those 'hinges', but it's not impossible. I may just stick with making each deck lift off. Whether I use your method or some other solution, I can't escape the fact that it's gonna be lots of fun trying to make it all come together. Thanks and all the very best! Cheers Patrick

Hi Panagiotis and Thanasis Please don't feel bad! We'd feel the same way if we had to speak German. The fact that we can each admire and enjoy each other's models, is reward enough. Have a great Christmas and Nw Year. Many thanks Patrick

Hi everyone Thanks for all of your comments and Likes. The whole idea of trying to think how to do the superstructure with removable decks was really doing my head in. To try and figure things out better, I decided to do a very rough mock-up of the cabin structure out of balsa wood. Please bear in-mind that it's a really, really rough approximation of what it'll look like, but nonetheless, it should be a great aid for me. Here're the photos. All the best! Patrick

Hah! With my mechanical prowess, it'd probably be rubber powered.....And with my luck, it probably still wouldn't work!

Hi Mark At the risk of harming your personal safety, it wouldn't be wise to go against your Admiral's order. I reckon you'd be wise to obey! Cheers Patrick

Hi Bob Very nice. Between you and Nils, I think I'm going to have to call you guys the 'Rivet Duo', such is your prowess at simulating the metal plating! Cheers Patrick

Very nice, Mark. As others have commented, the wipe on sheen gives the hull a warm lustre, which shows off your hard work beautifully.

...well....my Dad did make a fully functioning flushing toilet for his RC cabin cruiser model many years ago. The water pressure was fed by the movement of water through an inlet pipe underwater. It was pretty nifty. I guess I can only try....

Hi George and Denis Yep! Each deck will be removable so that the interior can be viewed. Should be a challenge, but oh, so worth it. Cheers Patrick

Hi Nennad I reckon Mark's right about the base.jog choice. It would certainly give the hull the most support. My thoughts only, of course. Cheers Patrick- 4,152 replies

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.
