    No need to applogize kevin I think it takes at lot to keep up momentum or even do loads on our builds in one go, you are doing a Fantastic job and its a pleasure to look at and read through. OC.
  3. Old Collingwood
    Wait till I get started on the standing rigging and shrouds - that will test my patience...........and everyone elses.😧 OC.
  4. Old Collingwood
    Indeed, also an element of monotony doesn't help. OC.

    More work today - I cleaned up the lifting beams then drilled a hole in the center/top of each, then I cut nine lengths of rope and stiffened the ends with some pva, then I glued the ropes in place as before. Just a couple of pics - OC.
  6. Old Collingwood
    Thank you for your kind words wallace. OC.
  7. Old Collingwood
    Good day all, Thank You sincerely for all the likes it certainly helps, anyway back on the pearl today - nothing of any significant interest, I constructed the nine rope lifting beams for the other side - just a length of 1x1mm with a small block glued onto the ends, just need them to set now before drilling a hole in the ends. No pics as its just the same as previous pics. OC.
  8. Old Collingwood
    Interesting looking build. OC.
  9. Old Collingwood
    WOW I see you have the same kit of HMS Warspite as I built, and also many other excellent kits begging to be built. OC.
  10. Old Collingwood
    If you mean joining the two blocks in your first diagram with the letter A, I think you need to widen the gap between them then wind some thread round and through them like in the diagram. OC.
  11. Old Collingwood
    Looking mighty fine. OC.
  12. Old Collingwood
    Welcome to our little family looking forward to seeing your builds in here, its great you managed to join. All the best OC.
  13. Old Collingwood
    Looking very tidy. OC.
  14. Old Collingwood
    I hid mine on my Warpy kit. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    Like lou said - the best way to work at such small scales is to take it in tiny steps, I had to do that often with my Warpy build (hence why it took years to finish) kind of recharges your batteries for the next go. OC.

    More work today - painting the first of the lid lifting tackle - then I fitted the remaining five - next off tie them and add a bit of paint. Then it will be on to the other side. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Just tying it where the rope and the loop meet. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    I love the rope idea - what a great idea using sticky tape. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Its certainly best doing it in small sections to break up the repetition, I have the remaining five built and drilled waiting on the ropes to be glued in place - tomorrow. Then the same for the opposite side. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Right then - four assembled and fitted. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    I can only back up what others have said - beautiful work. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    So - the work begins on the lid lifting devices consisting of a piece of 1x1mm with a piece glued onto the end, then a fine drill in the center of the end, and some rope(thread) glued into this, two done 16 to go. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Yep, alas he wont be cast in future films - not sure why? OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Here is a close up pick of the actual ship off the net - shows the lid devices. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Indeed - its like a never ending cycle where we are always improving and never fully satisfied. 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.
