    Wasn't there a scale metal kit of this to build in the same scale? OC.

    Evening all - so the work carries on, in order to complete the inner section some detailing is needed on the rear most cabin walls above the rear ramp, all the detail is molded on but needs painting/shading and highlighting, some decals need to go on the inner padding then they can be glued to the floor. Oh - I drilled out the framework holes also - they were there but not very deep. OC.

    I decided to paint the belts already fitted - they didn't turn out too bad, I have finished the other Two and found painting the belts easier when not glued down to the floor. OC.
  9. Old Collingwood
    Indeed bro. OC.

    I may actually just paint the ones that are molded on - going by this pic off the net (not mine) OC.

    Thanks Ken, the ones already on the backs are molded on but not very good - I could have a go at replicating some with tamiya tape, might work. OC.

    Just sorted my pics out of my current stage - I have started working on the fabric bench seats in the cabin, these are plastic and are painted flat Red and Alum - I will place a few rows and leave the end sections in the up position (just for a bit of variety). The inner hull section is just leaned against the seat to show how it will go. OC.

    Thank you kindly bro. OC.

    Evening all, so - more work has been done (you know me I don't like to rush things) anyway I finished off the cockpit by painting the seat cushions a nice mid Grey colour, then when Dry I fiited the decal seat belts (no fuss to these - not as good as pe ones) then I brushed on a few coats of flat clear to blend them in - then I fitted the pedals (Four part buddies they were). Then after painting and weathering these I gave the whole area another coat or Two of top coat, then the cockpit bulkhead was glued in. OC.

    Come on Ron, you know you have an audience. OC.

    I'm "abit" late to the party but it came to me - Isn't the Marry Rose similar? could you not use her plans to help with your hull planking? OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    One can really see the Inter- locking nature of it - wonderful stuff. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    That is so nice of you mate - to be fair its not a bad kit. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Thats why I put a crew on my Pearl build. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Thank you Mike. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    You know you want to ...... OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Amazing work you have put so much effort into this amazing build you should be so Proud. Congratulations. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Keep an eye on your wood decks - mine had a habbit of trying to lift slightly around fittings - just a case of making sure its all pressed down. Looking really good. OC.

    I would also have said - the aging of the roofs/materials as timbers bend and sag with age (I have seen it myself with old/er buildings you should have seen the roof in our old 17th century cottage we used to live in, it would have made a good roller coaster. 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.
