MIG 15 by Danstream - Trumpeter 1:48 - Finished

That is looking so nice. OC. -
Evening all, firstly a Huge thanks to all the likes and comments about my build - its all my buddies here that make this and any build worth the time. Right on with some more progress - I am still working on the staircase area making a little space underneath where I can hide a toilet/heads type thing, firstly I made a floor for it and set about creating some tiles, first I made a paper template than I cut out the individual tiles and glued them down on some card leaving a mortar gap, then I painted the mortar gaps in sand and the tiles in Brick. When dry I glued the staircase down onto the floor, next I filled in part of the front with card leaving a space in the front where I will construct and fit an angled door, to finish off tonight I made a cardboard end to close it in. Also I made the partition wall using card and paper glued on both sides then trimed to fit, this still needs it cut out acess into the living room. I am quite happy as its looking better than I thought it would. OC.

Thank you All for the input and regards, I was thinking of doing similar to how ships heads was set up around that time - basically just a box with a hole in it leading to a pipe in the ground, and a bucket with water kept at the side (hope that would have been the kind of thing in use back then)? OC.

Just done a quick plan in Paint, this will be my first level floor plan - The main Black line is the main partition that goes from ground to roof, there will be Two bedrooms with a small hall way, where there will be Two doors going into each bedroom. On the ground level there is a Large kitchen with a w/c area under the stairs, the stairs will be situated against the partition wall, a door will lead into a small living room. Hope that makes sense? OC.

Evening all, I did a couple of hours work making a set of stairs this evening, I have saved a lot of wooden lolly sticks and I worked out the length and width I needed then cut them out, I have then started to stack the treads and risers together glued using PVA then I sanded the edges to level them - I need a few more added to it as its not quite tall enough, then I will add the Two side boards again made from my sticks, then I will fashion a hand rail. OC.

Enjoy it - ask as many questions as you want to - experiment and look at it as if you were tackling small separate ventures, and enjoy it most of all. OC.

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.
