    Indeed Joe, it helps having the fuselage buttoned up, glad the dry fit was ok after closing the halves together, OC.

    I think they look fine Mark - the only one that you could move if you want is the very first middle deck opening as its not for a canon but a double door hatch for ventilation, you could try just moving it a touch more forward towards the beak (not a lot just a bit) I think that will help a lot. I do feel your pain as I had to do the exact same thing on my Corel HMS Greyhound Kit as they were interfering with the frames on several gun ports, I just did as you are doing and moved them. OC.

    That looks ok to my eyes Mark, I think if you can go with the easyest option (if it looks good to you) or failing that you could go the more fiddly option to cut through the bulkheads causing the problem (I assume you are doing dummy guns in the lower decks, by making a box with a barrel sticking out) that would work then just fiddly. OC.

    Evening all - hope everyone is ok, so it continues - next stage is the cockpit seat assembly, same build really as my other spit, rear bulkhead/armour plate/seat/base/pedals and columb, these were glued together then I did a bit of magic - dry fitted the assembly inside the fuselage. No secret it pops in from underneath. OC.

  21. Old Collingwood
    Great seeing you back hope your in good health, in your absence I completed a build of The Black Pearl from Piarates of the Carribean. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Thats good progress Mark - nice tidy work. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Yep KP as Edward said despite the pit falls of the kit you are getting there, some kits certainly test of skills and patience. OC.

    My first ever kit age about 7 (me not the kit) was a Red Arrows Gnat aircraft I only glued the wings on back to front and got the canopy glued to my finger - so I guess it happened to us all. OC.

    Evening all, I did a bit more work this evening - firstly I removed the tape and checked the seams, these needed just a bit of sanding (but no filler I dont think) this was a supprise to find two companies who manage to build kits with quite high build standards - it also makes my first observations what I first started to build this kist (in my earlier build log - Not Eduard one) as being incorect. Anyway next off was to fit the prop cone bulkhead, then when set I had to fix one of the exhausts stcks that had broken in two, this was fixed then glued in place in the recess - same the other side, then I got the engine cover and test fitted it, quite a bit of scraping and sanding was needed to get a good fit - then this was glued down. It needs sanding and cleaning up whne its set. So here are a couple of pics including one of my Supermarine prod line. 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.
