    Same kit as I just finished - some suggestions - use wood dowels where ever you can, inside the two piece masts (lowers) and for the mast higher sections, also make wood dowel yards instead of the plastic ones (they will be far stronger for tying ropes against them) try to fit a wood deck if you can (far more realistic in my opinion) square off the rear cabin front area (thats if you intend to build her as the wicked wench or latter black pearl) also if you can try to use wood deadeyes and blocks - they all help to make a more substancial build. Just a few ideas for you. OC.

    So! Now the Pearl is finished - I will give myself a couple of days of then - I will make a start on the Mosi, I have all the stuff I need to build her I think so it should be interesting and quite different from the pearl. OC.

    It was, think it was the same mold as there early 60-70s Apollo rescue S61, but modified with add on like the radar and sonar cover, also the engine sand filters. OC.

    Finished (at last) - I painted and added the last of the figures including an unlucky guy who was left to hang from the main upper mast (he just bones). Also I fitted two flags that I sent off for to get fabric ones, they were trimmed then had the rope trapped and secured, I got the drupe by applying pva and shaping when wet - then heated with a hairdryer to catch the shape. Its been a really enjoyable build and I can Highly recommend the kit to anyone. Thank You to Every one who followed and commented. Here's the gallery light wasn't to good though indoors with just an over head light. OC.

    And there was me thinking the Italeri C130J herc was big in 1/48 scale, I had this kit a few years back but sold it on due to its size. OC.

    Thank you denis, I think they make the ship "come alive" certainly giving the pearl a bit of character. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Thank you denis. 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.
