    Indeed Denis - the excuse from the delivery driver was pathetic - the admiral dealt with him the first time, but when I had finished with him when he came to collect - he was nearly crying - his own fault should have been a Two man job from the get go. OC.

    Tell you what - if anyone can - you are the man, you have become the go to man here for liners - great stuff. OC.

    Evening all, well I have only spent a small bit of time on the Chally as the weather last couple of days has been too nice, also we took our little princess back to the vets - she has been signed off and they don't need to see her any more - the scar is healing well with just a tiny bit of swelling (quite normal) they said, so yesterday we were all sitting in our back yard. In the evening I decided to carry on with the costume jewellery bangle - I mean other track, same procedure with the links but this time it was made in just a few hours - it will next require painting/weathering before fitting. No pics as it looks the same as the other one. Getting there. OC.

    Really nice Denis - glad you carried on with her mate. OC.

    Yep I agree I think there should be Three chain deck entrance tubes going through the deck - hope this pic helps to show it location its from that draftsman builders model of her that is considered very accurate. OC.

    Evening all, a bit more progress this evenening - I firstly found out I had foregotten to put on the hub caps on the wheels - it was a bit of a pain as some of then where partly obscured by the side skirt, it wasn'y much of an ordeal though, next was part of the rear cage - this was painted while still on part of the spru, it was then dry brushed and fitted. OC.

    Evening all - yep its been raining so you can tell that means time at the bench, so I decided to attach the side skirt on the side where the track is on, after fitting this I was able to make and fit the rear mud guard, this was then painted a few coats of Nato Black the dry brushed White to make it look nice and dusty, then I did the same to the front guard - same paint/dry brushing, then I made up one of the thermal housings then painted/wash and dry brushed before fitting. Starting to look quite busy. 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.
