    Great work greg, a quiry I have always had is about the positioning of the port holes in most of these kits - I noticed it on my Warpy build - they seem so close to the roofs/celings and dont allow for space between them and the floor above. OC.

    Very nice tidy - authentic looking work - first class. OC.

    My late farther showed me how to fuse a plug using fuse wire instead of using a fuse - guess his idea was the wire would just burn out and snap, rather silly though. OC.
  7. Old Collingwood
    Did you get some fuse wire in the end mate? OC.

    Heres one of the FAA ones over here at the FAAM museum Yeovilton - well worth a visit with near on 100 aircraft on display. Internet photo - not mine. OC.

    Probably the Brits clipped wing versions would have helped thier handling and stowage on RN carriers. OC.

    My late farther told me they also had one of the best power to weight ratios, no doubt due to that stinking huge lump up front, owe also wasn't they made of Alum? OC.

    Nice work on the tops - that stuff from Syren looks tasty, I never thought to order different thread/ropes - I just use watery pva to de fuzz the thread that came with some of my kits. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood

    Good day pirates - more work over the last two days - anyway I have fitted the mizzen mast lower shrouds (minus the ratlines) they are loose and not lashed to deadeyes yet, I have also fitted/lased and tied the main- lower mast side backstays to the channel deadeyes, I have also attached the two upper mast side backstays and lashed them to the deadeyes - these will be tied to the back channel deadeyes then tentioned at the same time tentioning the main to foremast stay. Pictures later. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    A bit more progress this evening - I constructed and fitted both sets of lift blocks and also fitted the upper shrouds around the mast heads, and also fitted the main to foremaststay. 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.
